TITLE: THE MEETING
GENRE: Drama/Thriller
PITCH: 'The Meeting' is a Romantic/Drama Short about a couple Dean and
Chloe who get caught up in a violent confrontation with two yobs in relation to
a brutal attack a few years back.
SYNOPSIS: ‘The Meeting’ is a short 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 Sid and Gaz as he walked past in an underpass. Chloe came along shortly
afterwards and seeing him in a state, she helps him out. Shortly afterwards
they begin dating and have been together since then.
Years later, it’s
their anniversary and Dean decides to take Chloe to the river side bench 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 the two boys, Gaz and Sid, who inflicted that unforgivably
brutal attack on him 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. However, this time
Sid is reluctant and more bothered about smoking crack.
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.
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. 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.
THEME: The moral to the story is a reflection on the long-suffering
issue of ‘Yob attitudes’ ‘Bullying’ and ‘the notion of combatting one’s
predicaments as well as self-control’.
SETTING: A little rural riverside town that stands on the opposite side
of the River to a large city shopping complex and office central. A car park.
