Pitch

Posted by honesttoblog42 at 11:38 PM
What if you found something that predicted your entire life and it revealed to you that you are not who you thought you were, but a simple copy in a never ending line of lies?

Mallory Childs discovers a journal that contains nothing but her life: past, present and future. In an attempt to uncover the truth, she uncovers a secret that not only forces her to question everything she has ever known, but also to battle with the idea of her very own existence. She is nothing but a reincarnation, a carbon copy of a woman who was cursed to live forever thousands of years ago. Once the woman dies, she is born again in another generation and is forced to live her life in the same way, with the same events happening over and over again. Though, each generation is allowed one change to their story and records their tale into the journal for the next reincarnation to find. Mallory tries to free herself from her curse but becomes engulfed in her inner struggle of her life being nothing more than just a repeat of events.

I've always enjoyed films that deal with Man vs. Himself more than Man vs. Man or Man vs. Nature. Though there are elements of Man vs. Society or Man vs. Man in these films, the main focus is the obstacle being him/herself. The mood I'm going for is not really dreary but light, happy, then intense and suspenseful. An example of the light/happy tone is the movie The Time Traveler's Wife . It does get serious at one point but it's very cheerful overall since it's a romance. The example for the intense and suspenseful mood is the film The Words. This is a better example of Man vs. Himself than anything.

The goal of this project is to explore the idea of inner struggle and acceptance. I have always been interested in the human mind and the complexities of emotions, actions, and thoughts that drive us to do what we do in life and to make the choices that we make. I also want to try to control the emotions of others. I want people to be shocked at plot twists, grip the edge of their seat in anticipation and suspense, and to feel relief when it is all said and done.

My target audience are people who also enjoy the complexities and inner workings/struggles of the human mind.
