"The idea of a philosophical crisis causing a breakdown of communication and a lot of pain is something I've always loved in literature." The twenty four year old also dabbles in film. "I like mediums in which writing and images work together to convey a story. I guess I create more in terms of stories than I do in terms of theme. That's why I couldn't paint a picture and just hang it in a gallery, and I guess that's why I choose to study literature over art as a subject to study. I definitely consider books and movies to have a stronger influence on my art than any artist." Trevor also plays guitar and drums in two local bands, and experiments with noise and lo-fi recordings. Strange indeed I never accused Ferrell of a detrimental kind of typecasting myself; I have always found his films amusing for one viewing. Also notice how I am only talking about Will Ferrell. That is because nobody generally goes to see a Ferrell movie for other reasons than him being in it. I myself wasn't familiar with the director or writer, etc., or most ofthe actors except Queen Latifa and Maggie Gyllenhaal. This movie is really about the public's relationship with Mr. Ferrell, we the movie going public play the author, as the public decides how movies are to be like these days using statistics and our favorite celebrity personalities. In this particular film we decide we need to kill Will Ferrell because we are sick of him and we eventually have to kill most celebrity's careers somehow. In the actual film Ferrell plays Harold Crick, who is too boring to mention and attracts all kinds of redundant title work throughout his day. Yes the brilliant author By Travis Tetreault decides that he counts brushstrokes and Meliorist Contributor then a title will overlap the screen stating the number in a fancy fashion.
