Abstract
Hooked is a screenplay in eight episodes for a proposed animation television series. The series centers around the story of a group of male fish, living in the ocean off the coast of Florida, who are dealing with various life challenges. Clancy, a clownfish, is struggling with thoughts of suicide. His male fish-friends are also coping with their own issues, as he spirals deeper into a sea of angst. This project weaves together the important—and often ignored or misunderstood—problem of suicidality in adult males. In Hooked, I show how art and drama can help bring greater understanding to this issue.
