FILM PITCH! PROJECT 30

By Hannah and Taia.

STORY

SYNOPSIS

Project 30 (Or Bo) is an immortal man made by the totalitarian world government of 2016. But he's wanted to die for years. Once he escapes he realised killing yourself (government property) is illegal. Instead of doing it anyway (DUH!) he selfishly decides to destroy the government and make suicide legal, so he can kill himself.

NOTE: The main plot point is not suicide. The fact the main character want to just a running joke to emphasise the character tropes. Plot comes mainly from the two main characters interacting with each other and the government.

TARGET AUDIENCE

WHERE WOULD YOU WATCH OUR FILM

Future shorts is the largest short film network in the world. They work across exhibition, distribution and experimental event which work well with the usual experimental nature of independent films.

Anyone is able to set up a future shorts screening in 100 cities/40 countries giving independent creators a large scope to have their work seen.

Distrify is a DIY distribution service. They offer a high quality video player which can be optimised for mobile. This is an advantage because of technological convergence and the largeamount of time our target group (15-24) use their phones and social media.

A disadvantage is that Distrify seems to offer no exposure for the creators content, It just seems like a Youtube like site you have to pay for.
