Overview

Set on the campus of Brewster Tech University, Hippopotamus is a sharp, character-driven dramedy about idealism, ambition, and the strange ways influence spreads. When former student Jeff Pritchard returns to BTU two decades after being denied his academic dreams, he expects a quiet second act as a faculty resident. Instead, he finds a campus transformed by corporate sponsorship, media spin, and a powerful ticketing monopoly that has quietly reshaped student life. What begins as a nostalgic tale of the legendary ""Hockey Line"" tradition soon grows into something much larger. As students Renee, Kevin, and the underestimated Ennis rediscover the power of collective action, a simple protest evolves into a movement that pulls in fraternities, ROTC units, faculty, journalists, and even a documentary filmmaker hungry for a story. Alliances shift, rivalries reignite, and long buried secrets threaten the university's polished image. At the center of it all is a deceptively simple lesson in behavioral psychology-one that proves how quickly people can change when they begin to believe they belong to something. Wry, intelligent, and unexpectedly heartfelt, Hippopotamus is a campus satire with bite-a story about tradition versus profit, mentorship versus ego, and the ripple effect of standing up for what's right. Winner Best Romance/Romantic Screenplay at the Austin Revolution Film Festival.
