Thought this was a pretty funny sounding idea for a film..
PROJECT SYNOPSIS
4 local real-life superheroes are followed around Portland for a Christopher Guest-style documentary. We create 4 characters, set them loose with the cameras rolling, and improvise off a treatment instead of following a dedicated script.
WORKING CAST OF CHARACTERS
DANGER MAN
Parkour enthusiast and daredevil. Removes graffiti in difficult-to-reach places. Annoys the city bureaucracy with his publicity stunts.
TIMBER JACK
Extreme soccer fan. Juggler who can do incredible tricks with soccer balls. Lifelong dream of becoming professional fan for Portland Timbers.
ST JOHNS AVENGER
Crime fighter who doesn't know how to fight. Has a mask in the shape of the St Johns Bridge. Wants to abolish North Portland by merging it with Northwest, and puts green "NW" stickers on street signs in St Johns.
THE TREASURE CHEST
Geocaching addict obsessed with pirates. Leaves treasure maps around the city that are encrypted, and those who follow them to the end win prizes. Used to live with Danger Man, but they had a falling out over a philosophical difference about the nature of crowds.
This list may be modified as the project progresses, as there are other existing RLSHs in Portland who may be suitable candidates for the project.
