I was cleaning up some old Writeboards in my Backpack page when I came across some great movie ideas I wrote a long time ago:
- A man buys a cup of coffee from a street vendor, and from the cup comes a genie who promises to grant three wishes, but only if they’re related to street vending in some way.
- A short film which features a man running from something in the city. Fast, always running, getting away from something. At the end, just when he thinks he escaped, someone walks up to him casually and shoots him like 10 times.
- A woman finds a 20-dollar bill on the street and picks it up. When she tries to spend it, someone rapes her.
All pure genius. And all copyright me. Me, me, me! If I see a movie about a street-vending genie in the near future, I’m gonna be pissed!
