Mission Jaguar

 

In the short film Mission Jaguar, our team’s vision was to project the idea of how teens most of the time are rejected from society. For the reason that teens are stuck in between two phases; they are no longer kids yet they aren’t considered adults either. Inspired by the 2001 Spy Kids film by Robert Rodriguez, our team came up with a story in which teenagers become the last hope of everyone. To establish this concept in the film, we follow the life of two high school sleeper agents getting bored of the regular high school life and craving a next mission. When the film program in their school gets their budget stripped from them, the instructor takes matters in his own hands. The instructor plans on getting revenge by destroying the school. In a desperate attempt to save the school before it’s destroyed the two spies take on the mission with the purpose of proving themselves. Can they make it in time before the school turns into history?
