How long does this bad boy have to be? We can't give ideas for a 30minute short flick that needs to be under 5minutes...

Plus, can't you be creative and think your own storyline up? C'mon, if you really wanted to do this bad boy you'd sit and think of one yourself! :p

We're already thinking... actually, brainstorming.

There are like ten to twelve idea's that are put onto the table, we're going to select the best one. And yeah, It's supposed to be a one hour movie.

Give us some of your ideas and we can perhaps help you choose the best one and flesh out your theme and plot.

I am Terrorist.

Incarnated from Khuda Ke Liye, the story begins on the morning of September 11th 2001, it's about the difficult situation in which Pakistani's in particular and the Muslims in general are caught up in since 9/11. There is a war going on between the fundamentalists and the Liberal Muslims this situation is not only creating a drift between the Western world and the Muslims but also within the Muslim community, the educated and Modern Muslims are in a difficult situation because of their approach towards life and their western attire, they are criticized and harassed by the fundamentalists and on the other hand, the western world sees them as potential suspects of terrorism just because of their Muslim names.

The Infection

A teenager is in a rocky relationship with his parents. He's finally getting married. What he doesn't know is that infected drinking water for the small town has turned the citizens into zombies who'll eat almost anything they can stick in their mouths.

These zombies go about living their normal lives as they used to with about as much intelligence as you can expect a zombie to have. The guy is horrified and so is his fiancee, desperate to revive her parents. This film basically has two halves. The first half we get situated, and a group of people manage to kill some of the zombies. But the zombies are still stronger, regroup, and the humans suffer from not being able to control themselves, and the zombies find a way to eat the humans, leave the town, and spread the infection throughout the surrounding areas.

The guy has to find a way to stop this madness from spreading, save his marriage with his fiance, and ultimately his elderly parents who his relationship has fallen off with who are in danger just a few cities away. His fiancee also wants to save her parents some how.

34th Hour

It's about a normal teenager who attends college and is having an internship at a local medical department. Slowly, he starts getting headaches and feels insecure, he gets flashes in is head during the day. Months pass by and his problem gets worse, the flashes go brighter where he sees himself killing people. not only that he finds himself waking up at strange places in his house. Not knowing what it is, he tells his parents about the problem, they take him to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist tells his parents that he is suffering from extreme psychological disorder and he can't figure out a way to eliminate the problem. He and his parents decide to deal with the problem by themselves. One night, he gets up and murders someone. His parents try to hide it from the neighborhood, he kills a girl in college, it gets worse.

Sorry, but unless the people are at a highly fortified survivors camp after a zombie apocalypse, there's no way a zombie outbreak can be a sub-plot. You can't worry about your relationship when survival itself is threatened.

Eh..........it seems like it's been done before.


I'd say number one is your best bet, unless you turn number 2 into a drama after survivors have set up a successful anti-zombie community and they actually can carry on with their lives.

Any idea's other than these?

I'm sure you guys are filled with creativity and can make up some amazing plots for movies.

I'm thinking about something based on an orphan. A child born on the streets of Pakistan, his parents soon die out of some disease, he doesn't have money, no food and barely has clothes to wear. The boy cheats, steals from shops and eventually falls into a lot of trouble. He has these poor friends of his who help him out.

Now what I want is, to have this character do something 'magical'. Like the whole theme should be 'Hard work is the key to success'.

The character works as a mechanic, earns money and progresses and eventually becomes a very reputed, big man.

Can you work this out and turn it into a golden plot? I'm sure you can.. :y:
