Does music motivate your moods? What if it was the only thing that did?

The Mix - Treatment

SEAN is not too far off the beaten college path, except for one thing - his life has a sound track. Sean needs music to get him through his day - happy tunes to get him out of bed, sad songs to cry along with, thumping techno to get pumped up, smooth jazz to do... well, whatever. These songs are his emotional adrenaline, and he carries them around everywhere in the form of CD mixes which he burns for every occasion on his life's center, his computer. Sean goes about his day, in-tune and unspeaking - because with a compact catalogue of moods like this, who needs words?

But complimenting your life with music is one thing - hiding behind it is another. When his taciturn behavior starts to interfere with his relations with his roommate, his girlfriend, and even his schoolwork, Sean must reevaluate exactly how these mixes are playing into/taking over his life. Can Sean straighten himself out before he does permanent damage? What is his real motivation behind his musical crutch? A day in the life of this silent, tune-driven boy unfolds in this fast-moving comedic short about music, communication, and hiding from one's true self.
