Story Synopsis

Alex, our protagonist, leads a boring life. His life revolves around work with only average family gatherings and occasional nights out with friends to keep him occupied. Each day, he takes the same train, at the same time, from the same platform, to the same mundane office where he works. It takes him roughly an hour to complete the train journey and for this whole time, he attempts to pluck up the courage to talk to a beautiful young woman. It’s his shyness and constant efforts to speak to her that gets him into all types of awkward situations, which are all discussed with two of his closest friends when he arrives at work. It’s their constant encouragement that keeps Alex pursuing the girl of his dreams, but it’s his constant awkwardness and nervousness that keeps him from her. 

This is a story of boy meets girl... but with nerves.

That's the story synopsis for the script! The majority of the film is to take place on a train (including the train station etc), but this logistic and location choice will be crossed further into pre-production. I have already been scouting for local train stations that may be willing to allow a short film to be shot there. The treatment for the project is now in the character development stages and I currently have 4 of the main characters written in. 

Whether or not I increase this to more characters as the story progresses I'm unsure, but at the moment I'm comfortable with the characters I have created.
