Science fiction. What a genre. What a disservice I have just done to it. See today I was working on something totally different but then felt too tired to continue it because I didn't feel like it would be what I wanted it to be. SO... I gave up and just thought I'd improvise something.
What this has ended up being is clearly inspired by the film under the skin which is a great and incredibly creepy sci fi film staring Scarlett Johansson. I didn't even intend for it to turn into that! At first it was just two guys in a car waiting for something and to pass the time they were going to play with a football. Then all of a sudden it took a turn and became something weirdly disturbing where one of them is recruiting the other to be taken away to presumably be probed by the Aliens who are taking them... lol.
As kinda crap and weird as this one is I do feel there is potential there to explore something fun. I love classical music and I found a way to bring it in here that could result in a plot device for a larger story. To be honest I think this feels a little like an opening to a longer story and that can be one of the fun things about short films. I watch so many short films that actually end at points that could be considered inciting incidents to a longer story. I don't know what will happen next in this script but it could be worth exploring. However, I will make it far less disturbing and more funny if I do.
