    Small Town Thriller Premise, Help?

    True, and I'd need someone at the airport who was in on it.

    Small Town Thriller Premise, Help?

    Jesus Christ. I just looked up the show and saw it was based on a book. I had no idea what Sharp Objects was about. I hate when this happens.

    Damn I haven't thought of that movie in a long time. Nice pull.

    Small Town Thriller Premise, Help?

    This is where I'm going, and thanks for helping me brainstorm... Dale enters Harper in search of his little sister who was kidnapped maybe a year prior, something like that. I'll figure out how he lands on Harper somehow but once he's there, he asks people around town but doesn't directly ask...

    Small Town Thriller Premise, Help?

    Thanks for the help! Actually what about if Dale was searching for his little sister that went missing some time ago, then things led him to Harper.

    Small Town Thriller Premise, Help?

    I'm completely open to what perspective to take here. The only real problem having Dale be hunted by the cops is that the town is so small, he'd be easily found and disposed of. Also, the Sheriff and the other Deputy weren't aware of anything nefarious happening in the town, especially not one...

    Small Town Thriller Premise, Help?

    I'm fascinated with small town, middle America. Always wondered what goes on in these places with 500 people, and only a few businesses. I'm also a sucker for a story where "someone comes into town, does something and inadvertently unearths a secret that will have dire ramifications for all...

    Updated the OP with a rewritten opening.

    A Weird Idea That I Think Might Work

    Thanks. I need to start crafting characters. This opening was just to put to paper how the camera thing was found and how the POV would work. Besides these two, I need to introduce their father, who would be a king or equivalent depending on the scale I want to take this. I also need to avoid...

    A Weird Idea That I Think Might Work

    I see what you're saying, but for the sake of the show it would be filmed in a professional way. I wouldn't have the POV some shaky cam nonsense like Blair Witch or anything. It would LOOK good, if anything. I actually did think about something along the lines of what you're saying, but...

    A Weird Idea That I Think Might Work

    If you read the opening, maybe you can get an idea of the tone I'm going for. It isn't a straight up comedy, with intentionally funny situations. What I'm going for is character driven comedy, or milking the funny out of normal situations. With the introduction of a recording device, some...

    A Weird Idea That I Think Might Work

    I love the mockumentary style of filmmaking, everything from The Office to What We Do In The Shadows. I also love medieval times stuff. So, what if those two paths crossed? Obviously cameras didn't exist back then, but who cares? I've written a cold open and a couple of scenes, wanted to share...

    logline Does this logline sound interesting?

    Oh I know, but I just wanted to throw out ideas in case the didn't have any. I also edited the post.

    logline Does this logline sound interesting?

    Two ideas: In the end, the teacher is revealed to be planning something similar, but in the killing of a student(s). OR The male student, after stalking, realizes he wants to help her kill the teacher. Both would play into the dark comedy theme. Don't write funny dialogue, write funny...
