Short Film Ideas: 4

Instead of being psychological or action-y, I thought I'd have a whirlo in the comedy genre. This idea is based around the idea of holding a grudge and getting revenge. It starts with two boys, around the age of 12, playing games and stuff. One of the boys decides to trip the other up. The other falls and is clearly embarrassed. He stands up and says "I'll get you back for that".

The next sequence is like a montage of the boy planning a way of getting revenge on the boy who tripped him up. This takes years and years of planning. We're talking decandes, nearly a century. They're old men now . While one's been leading a normal life and has completely forgotten the incident, the other has been inside scheming his whole life.

The story now goes in one of 3 ways, either the build up is fulfilled and there is a highly elaborate prank, there is a let down and the revenge is literally tripping up the other person, or the avenger emerges, sees how much the world has changed and has a heart attack. Pretty dark, I know, but that's what you get for obsessing over something so small.
