It feels like a #metoo movement inspired film. In this current climate, even the slightest sign of flirtation between opposite genders can lead to damaging consequences. "Creative Writing" reflects on the inappropriate relationship between the pupil and the professor, as both aspire to become writers. Even though there is a platonic thing going on, the false gossips and rumors are making a hostile environment for both parties involved. We see these similar stories happening in everyday life, and this short film perfectly hints at these kinds of issues, which can be exaggerated out of proportions by the mass media.
