"LONGSHOT" One Page Proposal [my submission for WB's Directors Workshop back in June '16. I'll be posting my entire pitch/submission in pieces] Here are the requirements my entry had to meet. My philosophy as an artist is that the art trumps all. The entrepreneur in me however smells blood in the water in the industry. The interior of a mech cockpit allowed me to best utilize the 2-4 day on lot shooting schedule. I choose to go with a singular protagonist to focus my sole effort on one actress/one performance. There is little to no exterior shots of the mech or the battle prior to the beginning of the story to accommodate shooting schedule and budget. ***"What should I submit for a Short Film Proposal?"
The short film can be any genre but must be an original idea. A few important things in mind: 1. You must achieve principal photography over the course of approx. 4 days or less. 2. All photography of the short film must be achieved on the Warner Bros. back lot (i.e. it is possible to use sound stages and create a number of interiors, but you will not be able to shoot new material of exteriors that require you or your crew to travel off of the WB back lot). 3. The runtime of the film must be no less than 7 minutes. 4. The entire budget for the short film must not exceed $100,000(USD) This is a creative pursuit, so please feel free to be creative. A few suggestions: In a concise way, try to describe the tone, themes, and aspirations of the film. You might also provide information that convey to us your key characters, overall plot, story beats, setting, and visuals. Above all, the most important thing to remember is that we want you to tell the story that is most reflective of your specific voice and style.*****THE ENTIRE SUBMISSION (INCLUDING THE ABOUT ME QUESTIONS) WAS LIMITED TO 5,000 CHARACTERS INCLUDING SPACES #pitch #shortfilm #shortstory #short #directorsworkshop #submission #onepageproposal #contestsubmission #actor #actress #character #protagonist #mechpilot #femalecharacter #filmmaking #filmmaker #mech #mecha #scificoncept #scifishort #tone #themes #aspirations #director #storyteller #longshotshortfilmpitch

"LONGSHOT" (plot summary) -CONT...both oxygen and power. Being too far out for rescue, her chances for survival look very slim. Having just cheated death, she stubbornly refuses to accept her fate. Throwing caution to the wind she reverses polarity and blows the engines. Using the propulsion to steer herself within range of rescue. Her gamble is a success, but her joy is short lived as now she's in a race to either getting rescued or running out of oxygen. She struggles to entertain herself and finds fighting her boredom is a tougher challenge than she realized. As her oxygen runs critically low, her breathing slows to a crawl while outside a rescue light blinks in the distance and we cut to black. ***a cross between a fighter jet and a tank.
