2015 Summer Film Camp Synopses

Just the Two of Us

written by Jared Earland

 

Mark has been planning a romantic camping trip for him and his girlfriend, Stacy, all of their senior year. Now that they’ve graduated, Mark plans to propose. But after his friends (lead by his best friend, Sam) crash their intended get-a-way it seems like one thing after another goes wrong.

 

CAST LIST:

• Mark: 19-year-old Senior. Eager to grow up, but not 100% sure what he’s going to do with his life. Despite what his friends say, he’s positive that proposing to Stacy is the right next step to take in they’re relationship.

 

• Stacy: 19-year-old Senior. Easygoing. Adventurous. Compassionate. She lives her life one day at a time. Stacy knows she loves Mark, but doesn’t stress about the future too much.

 

• Sam: 18-year-old Junior. Impulsive. A little strange. Embraces chaos. Somehow Sam always finds the silver lining in the worst situations.

 

• Nediljka: 12-year-old. Originally from Croatia (in Eastern Europe). Energetic. Friendly. Culturally ignorant of American ways.

 

• Lil: 17-year-old Sophomore. Andy’s fraternal twin. Hardcore gamer, but kind of a hipster when it comes to what games she plays.

 

• Andy: 17-year-old Sophomore. Lil’s fraternal twin. Hardcore gamer, but only likes to newest games with the best graphics.

 

• Suzan: 15-year-old Junior. Geeky. Skipped a few grades. She’s logical to a fault, often missing how insulting blunt facts can be to others.

 

• Mary: 19-year-old Junior. Your typical stoner... except she doesn’t actually do drugs. She’s not bright, but she’s got a good heart.

   

Keep Breathing

written by Shannon Sheridan

 

Keep Breathing is a television pilot that centers on a girl, Jo, who is attacked at a party and must face the truth about her self in order to pursue justice.  

 

CHARACTER LIST

 

JO – Jo is thick skinned and very smart, and can easily see through the fake people around her. She’s not afraid to speak her mind and doesn’t care what other people think. She only really trusts her best friend, Teddy, and we see the real her whenever she is with him.

 

TEDDY – Teddy is Jo’s best friend. He’s an all around good guy who will do anything for his friends, and generally puts the needs of those he cares about before his own. He likes to make his friends happy and is always pleasing people.

 

AUSTIN – Austin is your typical high school “All-American” boy who is loved by his fellow classmates, but he has a dark side that comes out around Jo. He puts on a front of being Mr. Perfect, and is quite charming and deceitful.

 

SAMANTHA – Samantha is the wannabe “Queen Bee.” She’s very rich and very pretty. More than anything, she wants to be validated by those around her. She’s mean, snarky, and at her core, quite insecure. Deep down, there may be some good in her, but what we see is nothing but evil.

 

DANIEL – Daniel is your class clown. He doesn’t care what anyone thinks, and loves to make a joke of every situation. He’s there for comedic affect and can always bring a little something extra to the party.

 

KATIE – Katie is Daniel’s girlfriend. Katie is just as goofy and fun as Daniel, but is definitely more intelligent. She’s witty, and likes to make a fool of herself, but knows when to take control and be serious. Katie is full of life and charisma.
