Synopsis: A lonely pencil pusher discovers a magical box that allows him to escape his dull existence.
This will be a high-caliber production run by experienced professionals, shot on a Red Epic, and a nice addition to a reel/resume. At the same time, it's a passion/art project we're funding from very shallow pockets. The entire cast/crew will be credited but unpaid. Meals, snacks, and drinks will be provided on set. The lead actor and crew department heads will need to be available the entire shoot. Others can volunteer for a minimum of 3 days.

| Fred | Male | Any Ethnicity | 31-40 | A lonely, past-his-prime office mailman. He dreams of escaping his repetitive days by vacationing to the beach. One day, while delivering mail around the office, Fred discovers a magical blue box. Despite the fact that it appears to have killed a fellow office worker, Fred opens the box and experiences a magical form of euphoric escape. He begins retreating into the box's dreamlike experience more and more, until… Just as it looks like the box may destroy him, he meets Alma – a kind telemarketer at the office who may be able to save him. |
