Cinema Pitch

     There is a thin line between reality and fantasy, sometimes created by the differing views of what we see for ourselves and what others persuade us to see. Through my film, I want to show these opposing views through the eyes of a character that seems to have no past or future. He basically begins as a blank canvas and can either be easily controlled into believing what others warp his mind to see and what he chooses to remember about himself. Another outside force tries to persuade him into believing their story while he has an internal conflict, trying to decide whether to believe himself or the horrors he is accused of. These visions will be played back through flashbacks. Some scenes will alter from what is his actual memory and what the others want him to remember, whether it's facts or lies. Eventually, these two visions collide, causing corruption within the individual’s mind, which leads him to commit sins that may either be completely different from his character, or the essence that makes him who he is. I hope that the viewers will feel sympathy for the character but also have doubt, debating in their minds whether he is right or wrong, or some unholy mixture of the two. The scenes in the film would possess a grim and mysterious feel similar to that of a detective film. The target audience will be those individuals who don’t need information to be spelled out precisely to them but can use their own sense of judgment to make out the entirety of the character and plot of the story.
