Ideas and treatments!

So the purpose of this post is the give you the best of the best of ideas I have been writing out into treatments, enjoy!

The Street performer

"The street performer" is a story about a young man, who one day, dreams of becoming the greatest actor there is upon the face of this earth, is having hardships, Fresh from dropping out of High school in senior year, Joey! flat out tries to go out into the world as a freelance actor...but things don't seem to end up as as well he'd expect. Playing with on only what he knows, imitating an actors craft isn't the smartest thing if your trying to get picked up by a local theater chain or any thing in general; So dead broke, he does what he needs too! just to survive, he litearlly enters into the undergroundworld of "Street performing" While being faced with a whole new set of rules. struggling to find his own voice, he hopes he can do just that. Along the way he meets new friends, faces a tone of obstacles, and finally understands the real meaning of becoming a "Thesipeain" in this of redemption and hope! Joey will find his way as the street performer.

I really like it!

I never there was an underground street-performing world, but it sounds really awesome.

Is it gonna be ridiculously experimental like all your other stuff? Because I feel like this would be cool if it was in random and ridiculous colour the entire time...

or if it switched around when he got to the underground street-performing stuff.


But yeah, it sounds really cool!!

Hi Branden

I like this idea of a young actor resorting to desperate measures and being pushed and learning about himself and his work in unexpected ways. You have really thought out his character arc, which is great. I would start to sketch or write out in more detail how you will communicate all of this on film.

It might also be cool as research for you to spend a weekend photographing street performers and their audiences to generate ideas for your film.
