Untitled Mafia Movie

"Untitled" (As of now)


This piece will be a sort of mafia-parody story about crime and the people involved with it. It will follow the story of both a Mafia boss and a lower-level generic mobster who is just starting out in the family and trying to break into it.

The main conflict will be between the boss and the aforementioned low level mobster, who, in doing what he thinks is a good decision, angers the boss and destroys his chances.

There will be one other intertwined character involved, who, in contrast to the first character, decides to do what will further him personally and becomes in good favor with the boss.

In addition, the boss will have to struggle with what's right and wrong in making his decisions about what happens to all of his people.
Basically, the whole piece is about decisions and what happens as a result of both good and bad decision making.

38.

I've already started describing this already, but this my official treatment for the first of my pieces: "38."


38.

38. follows the story of two people who leave their home early one morning to go shopping. As neither of them has a car, they decide to take the bus. It's a cold Sunday morning, and they get to the bus stop and start to wait.

They spend at least an hour at this bus stop, and this is the majority of the piece. It focuses mainly on the extent they will go to to entertain themselves and what comes out between two people when they're stuck alone with each other for hours at a time with nothing to talk about.

The piece ends when a man walking by informs the two that the bus doesn't run on that route on Sundays and they realize they just wasted hours for nothing.
