Story-Telling Unit: The Meeting - Synopsis (Draft 3)


‘The Meeting’ is a film about a confrontation between a male in his mid-twenties Dean Chamberlain, his girlfriend Chloe Richards and two hooligans Gaz Maloney and Sid Graham.
Dean was attacked by a group of teenage yobs as he walked through an alleyway. Chloe came along shortly afterwards and seeing him in a state, she helps him out. Shortly afterwards they begin dating and have been together four years to the day.
It’s the eve of Valentine’s Day and Dean decides to take Chloe to a river side view where they regularly visited when they first started dating; he intends to propose to her. Dean however, forgets the ring in his car and so when he goes back to get it, he comes across two mobsters hanging around the car park. He instantly recognises them as two of the boys who inflicted that brutal attack on him four years ago which has haunted his memories ever since.
Gaz Maloney and Sid Graham who also recognise Dean decide to approach him with intentions none other than to replicate the events of the previous meeting. Chloe who hears loud noises from the direction of the car park becomes worried about Dean as she has been ever since the attack and decides to go after him only to find him getting beaten up by Gaz and Sid.
The whole repeat incident has a major psychological effect on Dean but he tries to fight his inhibitions especially as Chloe is now part of the situation so he strains himself to also protect her. This causes him to lose his self-control with raging and chaotic consequences.
This is a 5-10 minute short film that touches on dynamic subjects such as ‘bullying’ ‘love’ and ‘redemption’ with a dramatic plot.
