1 – (Punchy) drama

2 – A shrewd drug dealer

3 – Become an online celebrity (irony)

4 – Rival gang AND broken heart

5 – Currently relevant themes: knife attacks and obsession with social media.

It’s a punchy drama about a shrewd drug dealer. He becomes a local celebrity by regularly posting some well-crafted videos online, combining cocaine consumption and cool knife fight scenes. But he gets in trouble when his videos start to draw the “clients” of another drug gang towards him. Simultaneously, he’s also rejected by his love interest. How will he deal with a turf war and a broken heart?

The film tackles the currently relevant themes of knife attacks and obsessive use of social media. The fast-paced fights also give it dynamism, vigour and a really unique flavour.

1. Drama - Absurd comedy
2. Mid-twenties wannabe academic. Mentally clever but unfit for basic rural tasks.
3. To heal, recognition, a place in a foreign world
4. Culture is useless in an uncivilized milieu. A radically different world turns his preconceived beliefs: hard labour, violence and resentment out of misery and boredom.
5. It says a lot about the unsolvable gap between the urbane and the rural in Spain, the individual and society, unsolidarity, family and the role of culture. I love it because it questions a lot of things that we take for granted nowadays.

Summary:

A failed, broken-hearted PhD student tries to find a place in a little village where his father owned a few lands. There he will meet some distant relatives and very unusual villagers, triggering a chain of events which will change his self perception and his role in the world. Erudition and literary knowledge are absurd in a violent and rude environment, where the importance lies in land property (even a few centimeters are important and a cause for murder), a simplistic notion of Christian sacrifice and fake charity.

1/ GENRE: A thriller set in 1922.

2/ MAIN PROTAGONIST: The licensee of a village pub. A dominant figure in the community.

3/ GOAL: Seeks to thwart a blackmailer by murdering him.

4/ OBSTRUCTIONS: The flakiness of his co-conspirators and the persistence of a policeman.

5/ WHAT’S IMPORTANT: Examines the historical vulnerability of gay men. Dares an audience  to sympathise with murder and provokes thought with a twist in  the tale.

Original idea; Title: LOOSE ENDS

Alistair Scanlon and Stewart Lomax, former subalterns in the local regiment have been invited to dinner by James de Villiers, the son of a local nobleman with whom they served in The Great War. Their way is blocked by a fallen tree. To seek alternative directions, they enter the village pub where one of them is murdered. A tale of love, sacrifice, bravery, cowardice, greed and blackmail leading to the murder, unravels. The values of the audience are challenged, with whom do their sympathies lie, the victim or the murderers. The story touches on the implication of being gay in the past and the mental effect of war and loss. This is a ‘whydunit’ rather than a ‘whodunit’.

A seemingly fool proof plan has been hatched, but the resulting death comes to the attention of a London detective, who investigates further than expected, leading to an unexpected denouement. N�rxI�9M���

This is a coming-of-age story about a boy of 23 who recently graduated and suddenly found himself in full control of his life.

He is wanted for decrypting enemy communications after which he most certainly will be tortured and executed.

Title - Justified!
Genre - Historical/ period drama; farce

Main Protagonist
James Hogg-

17th century Shepherd poet;

lionised by polite society as purveyor of light, palatable, country folk mythology & wisdom;

leads rumbustious lifestyle;

adores and is an uncompromising champion of the dark violence, despair and morality of authentic rural folklore

Goal/ Objective

Yearns to become serious author as contemporary and friend Walter Scott but wants to popularise his native tales in all their gory detail

Dependency on 2 leading powerful & influential publishers of books (Blackwell & Murrary)and editors of the then crucially important literary journals – whom he has a tempestuous relationship.

Hogg is an important historical & literary figure eventually writing and publishing one of the most astounding modern novels: Confessions of a Justified Sinner one of which many themes is religious fundamentalism and doing evil in the name of God.

It is also a tale of personal determination and social struggle and success in him succeeding despite coming from a background of grinding poverty & illiteracy at a period of great inequality and political tyranny and his unfaltering faithfulness to the tales and culture of his native Scottish Borders country.

Road deaths is a huge problem we are facing in our country. I would like to address this issue by making a film to reduce loss of lives!

The story goes like this:
I would love to package the theme in a comic and entertaining format rather than a preachy documentary style.

A 16 year boy loses his father in a road crash while he is going to write his school final examination. He is very disturbed about this, but somehow he finishes his education. But his father's death is haunting him.

He wants to do something about it. When he is 24, he decides it is time to do something.

He faces challenges from people around him as well as the government.  How he fights the system to make a safe road environment, will be the pitch of the story.

Too many innocent lives are lost by this man made tragedy, a film conveying the challenges faced by people on the roads daily and their callous attitude towards fellow road users, aided by indifference of the authorities, would prove beneficial to the society at large.

This is my 2nd Five Finger Pitch, the 1st one I have already written in the comments page.

During the rest of the film he tries everything to make the other jurors change their mind. He explains that the boy despite his slum background deserves a fair trial and he cannot in good conscience vote "guilty when he thinks there is may have a reasonable doubt.
