make a movie about your limitations, a kid making his video project, but everything he wants to do is not allowed, he keeps coming up with great scripts (like, really original crap) and pitching it to his teacher, but each time his teacher goes, "No, no, you can't do that." so he finally gives up and just starts writing cliched crappy stuff...he puts it together in a jumbled mess (he doesn't get a chance to show his teacher or something because the teacher is busy, so the teacher simply asks, "does it follow all the rules? No violence? bad words? Religion? the student (you) says, "Its clean" so without reading it, the teacher approves it) so he ends up making this crappy piece of crap cliched movie, but the thing is, everyone loves it. so he gets super pissed and kills everyone for having such bad taste in movies! its a good way to express yourself and rebel against the system, plus when pitching the ideas you can describe really violent stuff (since you're not showing it)  just an idea.

"The work never matches the dream of perfection the artist has to start with." -William Faulkner Faulkner is also famous for his advice to writers to "kill your darlings"...the parts of a story that the author loves, but that the reader either finds distracting or not worth reading. It's painful, but sometimes it has to be done. I guess an exception would be if it's for your own viewing.
