Great Gag film
Cast of 4 leads and at least 4
extras, Car drivers.
VERDICT: Need Director and
Producer, it’s too ambitious for me to do.
COMPLETION RATING: *1/2
THIRSTY: SOUTH OF THE HEMISPHERE
Western parody
Original concept, only a couple of
pages written, but I know what’s got to happen in it
Cast of Six (Male blonde lead,
four dark haired guys and a Chinese or Aboriginal male)
VERDICT: Lack of interest and
trouble explaining to people why it will be funny has put the breaks on this
one.
COMPLETION RATING: *1/2
GETTING A JOB COULD KILL YOU
Slapstick Comedy with a twist
Cast of three males
Script written
Taxi, bus, train station and
hospital scenes

I’ll act in it… if shot in

$40000), I wish I had the money… Won’t let no-one else do it!
COMPLETION RATING: * - I can dream about it.
CHILD ZOMBIES: THE DAY CARE
MASSACRE
This is an idea I came up with on
the train one day.
I thought it would be an easy
shoot.
All it would involve was
organizing a face painting day at the local day care centre,
Get the kids to paint their faces
green and blue…
Then take as much footage
possible, example; kids running up and grabbing hold parents, carers.
All the real work would be done in
post production; editing, adding narration.
Verdict: Very hard to get
authorization and permission from parents. Concerns for Children’s Safety
COMPLETION RATING: *
THE DEFORMITY
Teen horror
Cast of at least six
Story written
VERDICT: Funds needed (about $1000)
possibly too violent / offensive
COMPLETION RATING: *
COPULATION BRIGADE
Adult film noir science fiction
short
Written
Sex scenes
Cast of five or six
VERDICT: Written because I thought
someone was interested in the script, needs budget of at least $7500 and
Director and Cast
COMPLETION RATING: Nearly no chance. Have you got the money
and contacts?
