   How about......Confessions of a Morris Dancer.....seeming pastoral idyl in O*fordshire small town....but its really a seething hotbed of extramarital sex and hedonism.

 Our innocent hero gets introduced into the dancing by his father...without realising the pent up passion especially in the women's section.

I knew I could rely on you Reg!

Ohh Media. Doing a writing treatment are you?

[sonicyouth]

nah it's for film, i've got to come up with an idea and write a synopsis for it then storyboard the intro, script an excerpt and probably some more stuff.

i might just do the morris dancing one because i've got fuck all other ideas!!

[Tails]

I like doing storyboards but I can't draw for shit. Have you got a specific audience or anything? Not sure how many people would be interested in Morris dancing....

[Bob's Orange]

What about porn of the dead? Pretty sure zombie sex is a subject untouched by human filmmakers.

[sonicyouth]

I can't draw either, I'm hoping I can just script it and not have to do a storyboard because I can't even draw stick people properly.

No target audience, we've just got to come up with an idea - however shite it is

Porn of the Dead sounds good, I bet it's been made though!

Of course you could do the Morris thing in terms of racism in middle England...a bit like a Ken Loach....throw in a scouse union convenor (Ricky Tomlinson)...who's going to Ruskin...who falls in love with the Muslim daughter of the local Indian restaurant owner....who also happens to be really good at cricket...but can't a game because of the Morris tradition of burning a wickerman of a Bangladeshi leg spin bowler, every autumn.

  Love overcomes all obstacles and our heroine gets to ride on the open topped bus tour, when England women reclaim the Ashes....closing scene set to David Bowie's..... Ashes to Ashes.

So that's why Bangladesh only brought slow left armers over here rather than leg-spinners

The Thames floods and the whole of England is a flood plain. The only way anyone can survive is on a massive barge. The inhabitants of the barge slowly descend into anarchy. Many are thrown overboard. Over time the barge people try to rebuild their lives, new friends are made. A barge football tournament is organised. The film explores the way the peoples lives change pre and post flood and the complex way in which their lives interact. There is also a romantic factor between the leader of the barge people, a former boxer and the daughter of a millionaire businessman whose lives are thrown together in tragedy.

It's a bit like Noah's ark in a way but crossed with lord of the flies.

That is truly brilliant. I'm stealing it.
