Reel Lives
This film follows the lives of four great friends who happen
to be intent on making it big in the movie industry. They
move to California hoping to sell scripts and direct movies
immediately but realize how much of a challenge it is to
succeed at their passion.
Much in the same vein as a
Swingers or Good Will Hunting, Reel Lives attempts to mix
broad comedy, some esoteric comedy regarding films, and real
life drama into an entertaining, realistic, and uplifting
film. Each character has his own unique personality that is
often reflected in his taste in films. The main character
seems to be the most level headed of the bunch, but he is
the one who turned down the easy life of marrying his
college girlfriend and teaching film at the university in
order to follow passion.
The actors in this film would need to be smaller time
actors rather than big stars. People like Zach Braff, Topher
Grace, Jake Gyllenhaal, Derek Luke, Lukas Black, or Jay
Hernandez would fit. However the script would be the most
important aspect in making this film work.
-- Script Pitch III Host Commentary --
Lee's Analysis:
I loved Swingers and Good Will Hunting, but this pitch
seems to be more so composed of general ideas that havent
been tied together to a plot yet.
