- What
is your film idea and why is it original and innovative? (up to 100 words)
Short Film – Title: The Experiments.
Plot: Lorenzo is the leader of a graphic novel cult
called ‘Supernatural’ in which he creates characters and stories from
within his dreams. Lorenzo’s dreams become dark and disturbing and soon the
visions become reality. A mysterious man called Esteban who works for a
government bureau has got a file called the “experiments” which contains the
secret to a drug which implants negative memories into people’s minds, Lorenzo
believing that he was drugged decides to seek Esteban and track him down. However Esteban
has the ability to see into the future and can predict Lorenzo movements.
Lorenzo must figure out how to control his dreams and retrieve the file before
his memory is erased.
My idea is original as it contains concepts such as
the supernatural and reality which are interconnected which has not been previously crafted before, the
idea of a cult novel group is all interesting and unique.
- How
would you benefit from mentoring? (up to 200 words)
IdeasTap offers a brilliant opportunity to be
involved in a fantastic production which would help me to utilize the skills I
have learned on my course including editing software and the use of cameras.
The opportunity to develop my short film would enhance my CV and portfolio and
would provide me with the opportunity to market my film at films festivals.
Gaining insight into professional industry contacts
and knowledge of film production and how it is coordinated and to learn about
the press and marketing of an event would gain me valuable experience in
working under pressure, to tight deadlines within a dedicated team based
environment which would equip me with skills that are transferable into the
media industry.

If there is an oppurtunity to help, this would be brilliant.
Kind Regards.
