Narrative Project:

Doppelganger Death Squad

Tagline:  "You're coming to get you!"

Set in a retro-futuristic city, the Doppelganger Death Squad is an agency that disposes of doppelgangers as a public service.  They're a ragtag group of former military personnel, ex-convicts, and police officers.  It's a dirty job, and few are willing to do it, but the pay is good.  After a meteor crashed near the outskirts of the city Retropolis, people began to receive psychic visions of what their doppelgangers see and hear.  This is how they know their doppelganger is coming to kill and replace them.  Think GhostbustersC meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers with a Film Noir setting with a touch of grindhouse-era style.  The idea is to set up all of the elements that would be in a feature film version of Doppelganger Death Squad, and this five minute short would introduce the main characters and story elements.  The look and feel of the films Sin City, Planet Terror, and Hobo with a Shotgun are big inspirations.

Music Video:

Cold Blows the Wind (The Unquiet Grave)

Tagline:  "Love can't keep a dead man down"

A cover version of an old English folk song where a woman mourns over her loved one's grave for a year, begging him to come back and dance with her one last time.  The man is disturbed because her mourning will not allow him to rest.  He rises from the grave and they dance one last time.


Documentary:

Causing a Scene

Tagline:  "

This documentary would be about South Bend's local music scene and the art renaissance that is taking place downtown.  I would examine the trials and tribulations of what it's like to be in a local band, while also focusing on the people who attend this shows on a regular basis.  I would interview the promoters as well, and attempt to represent the culture that surrounds live music of different varieties.
