Real World Writing Camp Discourages Aspiring Writers

By Maryann Yin 

When you picked “writer” as your career path, did your loved ones protest?

In the video embedded above, the comedy video production company smallGrand introduced the  Real World Writing Camp. The imaginary camp’s mission is to drown the hopes of teenage writers.

In the satirical video, participants visit Bushwick, Brooklyn–“home to the country’s largest concentration of unemployed MFA graduates.”  Teens are paired with a miserable writer to discourage their writing dreams. What do you think?
