Well it would only end a couple of ways - he finds his daughter alive (somewhat unbelievable considering the world of trafficking), or he finds out for sure that she's dead (somewhat unbelievable considering the world of trafficking). I figured my proposed ending would be a good middle-ground.

Yup! After a few different ideas and even some pages written, I've finally nailed down a plot. I need to flesh out some characters now.

Thanks. I'm not a professional and I've never been paid to write, but I have had a short produced in exchange for a writing credit. Either way, this is something I've had bouncing around my head for about a year, and I've gone through different plots and POV's. This idea stemmed from my...

I'm typically scatter-brained, and that's a fault. But this time around, I'm focusing on a project I've previously started, and researched, but now I'm actively "trying" to write it. This is a dark thriller, with sensitive subject matter. Think of 8mm or Seven. I'll be brief, but will provide...

Yea they actually do meet on page 2 or 3. I'm reworking the intro that I already wrote. Also, I'm adjusting the story a little. Both of these guys are still going to the same therapist, but one of them used to be married to a man. So, these guys have an instant bond and the gay man misreads the...

First of all, this is a finished product...sorry for flooding the board. Logline: After meeting a beautiful woman at a night club, Jacob finds himself at her apartment and at her mercy. This is pretty dark, graphic and all sorts of twisted. Hopefully someone here enjoys it. On a technical...

Delete please.

That's hilarious something similar to this exists to recently already. But whatever, I'm going to play with racial differences AND someone "turning" gay...which is a controversial standpoint by itself.

Oh yea? I never heard nor have I seen it. Brokeback Mountain ran across my mind but dissimilar enough.

I was hit with an idea over the weekend that I can't shake. I'm partially inspired by the Netflix film Paddleton and the way that story was conveyed. Two men, one white and one black, from different backgrounds, meet in a men's divorce support group. They hit it off on a friendly level...

I'm still fleshing out the ideas, and I'm not sure how this group will be threatening, or conceived as threatening by Jack. These people can still be dangerous in some way, but they just happened to stumble upon someone doing something bad. But as I said, just ideas for now and thanks for the help.

I haven't put pen to paper on this, but this is how I'd sum it up as it sits in my head, and how I want the audience to view it: Jack is alone and in trouble in the middle of the ocean. He's approached by three people who are suspicious for whatever reason. The audience will side with Jack...

I'm writing something where the POV is from the bad guy, but we don't know he's the bad guy until midway through the film somewhere. I was having a discussion with someone about this and their opinion was that audience only twists were cheap. In other words the twist only exists because the...

There are two types of twists, at least that I can think of. The first being one that the in-universe characters are aware of, and the audience needs to be brought up to speed. Think of Psycho and Identity. With Psycho, we do now know that Norman is killing people while dressed as his mother...

Thanks to everyone for the replies. I'm really not sure where I'm going with this. Regarding the concept, this is what I know so far: -A high tech therapy method to induce REM sleep immediately. No drugs taken orally or intravenously. -The dreams are in no way manipulated by the therapist or...

Ugh I really need to start writing. I'm going to make this a short for the time being. I always focus on the concept first, even before the story. I think it's kind of a fault.

I’ve heard about the show but never checked it out.

I'm going the Black Mirror approach in that the technology just exists. There will be a brief explanation as to what's going on but it isn't something to be focused on and elaborated. The people "in world" know all there is to know about it and that's that. But, the therapy is handled in a...

Let me provide a bit of a preamble before I get to the actual premise because I think i it's important. I had a dream the other night with a mysterious woman - unrecognizable to me when I woke up but it's been haunting me ever since. One of those dreams you wish you could go back to yet you...

Yea I think you're right. The way she comes off already is more forward than Vince. He's just going with the flow while she seems to have a motive. Check out the OP or a couple posts above if you want to see what's been written already.
