Lots of Kennedy stuff in here. But all good ideas.

It's a bit of a run on pitch

Yes, it's exactly what it looks like. I've always wanted to do this.

Building a reputation as a fearless narcotics officer proves daunting for a young rookie detective -- a task made more difficult by the fact that his badge is stolen and he's not a real cop.

The badge stolen part reminds me of High and Low by Kurosawa. Except the detective's gun was stolen.



And explain the real cop part.

With a stolen badge, he is pretending to be a cop.

I like it.




my friend and I are working on a version of the Raven, but instead of a bird saying "Nevermore" he is haunted by the song "Blue Moon".



Even have a scene where he is at a bar and a girl walks up and orders a Blue Moon. Everywhere he goes he can't escape it and it ends up driving him insane.


Short film.


ETA: It's the Elvis version of "Blue Moon". A very haunting rendition.

Lots of good ideas in here.

I thought of doing one similar to this based off me and my friends. every time we go to Bourbon, we end up having odyssey-like nights. We always get separated and always have wierd stories the next day or two (however long it takes us all to find each other)


While in my 20's this happened to me on Saturday nights after LSU Football games.

I have one where my roommate/best friend from adolescence and I went home with a waitress from a Bourbon jazz club named Tobina.

London, 83AV (Anno Victoria)

On the cobbled streets of Low London, Inspector Noridel of the Eternal Queen’s Constabulary is on the trail of a killer.
A killer who removes the still-beating heart from his victims.
A killer who witnesses describe as an “angel.”

This is an England where Queen Victoria has refused to die. Frozen in state, she thaws for a single day each year to guide her Eternal Empire to even greater glories.

An England where the Working Guilds of the Flesh and the Clockwork exist in an uneasy truce, each with their own secret agendas.

No longer a green and pleasant land, this is a country whose gardens have become the factory floor for an ever-expanding Industrial and Military Empire that has conquered the globe. An Empire that breeds ever-growing resistance.

Here, Scotland Yard walks the land in the belly of an Iron Giant, fighting crime wherever it may go, home to a vast super-computer with a penchant for riddles and a dangerous crush on Inspector Noridel.

To catch the killer, Noridel will have to look to his own past.

And to his future…
