Bacon can be visually artistic. ;)

A film in the style of the German expressionists, based on the writings of Neitze, translated into lolcat.

Soooo, why don't we take a week or two to review what's already out there and give others a chance to submit concepts for consideration.

I think that's probably a good place to start. If it is visual elements they are after, I'm excited. I process visually and usually "see" things before the go any further into my conscious.

You had me at German Expressionist! (And, probably had Chris at Nietzsche.)

Revisionist fairy tale #1: Frog Prince.

Angela has a gift. And she's willing to share it. Prices negotiated at her kissing booth daily.

A transformation from slimy amphibian to dashing heroics is so everyday… but
kissing slimy men into frogs? That's priceless.

Revisionist fairy tale #2: she was a little mermaid, generally speaking. You might have heard stories about her in the past. But what you perhaps did not know was that she wasn't in love with the man so much as the idea of human reproduction. After, of course, gaining a fish-eye view of the pleasure she's never known as an egg-laying aquatic. But what will she do to become human?

I ran across this on slashdot today:


Open source on the big screen: Matt Ebb tells tales of Elephants Dream
Lead artist from Elephants Dream speaks about what it is like to make your own open movie using open source tools and the power of the community.

I do like the idea of a storyline that centers around, or occurs in the presence od, bacon. But at the very least it needs to make an appearance.

New concept that I've been kicking around: "Black Box Beowulf"

In terms of completed scripts, I've got

"The Renaissance": the Holocaust comes to America.
"Oedipus President:" self-explanatory.
"Lawful Truth," an "Office Space" like satire of the legal profession. Funny as hell, at least to me, but rather dated, particularly the scenes involving the George Plimpton murder trial.

Works in Progress include:
"Final Cut": raunch with heart about my vasectomy. The logical sequel to "Knocked Up."
"And Somewhere Children Shout": Oscar-winning midlife-crisisy weeper about dead parents, aging and sh*t.
"Sperm Wail" Troma-like horror film with 1950s-style sci-fi social criticism. Features a climactic scene in the private parts of the Statue of Liberty.

In terms of acting, I did a lot in high school and college. Also, I did an 8 month run in Hamlet before law school. Of course, that was Hamburger Hamlet, but I did serve a lot of actors. There, all the honor lies.
