"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.

Hi Patricia
I'd like to hear more how you intend to parody Mafia movies, whether the situations or the characters themselves will provide the comedic elements.
This idea seems unique in that you seem to be focusing on the mob boss, and how he determines who makes it.
If you haven't already seen these films, I would recommend "Mafioso" (hilarious, zany black and white film from the 60s) and "Good Fellas" (shows the selfish and ambitious motivations behind criminal life).
