Feels like quite an adventure! From East London, through to the Caribbean, and to save a (European?) Estate.
Like this logline’s sense of scale. However, who is the protagonist you are asking me to empathise with? … East London Kids … girls/boys? Teen, pre-puberty? The stereotype of an East Londoner only suggests Socio-Economic situation.
What psychological drama are you promising me to journey upon, though experiencing this world you have created through a “character’s” eyes?
Hi Philippe! Thank you for your feedback.
SO. The film is set on and around an East London council estate that’s due for demolition with flashbacks to Jamaica (1940 and then again 1948), and France (1943).
The group of kids are aged 12 to 15. They are working class. A mixture of ethnicities and religious backgrounds. 7 kids in total. The leader of the group is called Keon. The kids are brave, inventive, kind, principled, clever and funny. Certificate 12.
Psychologically it’s all or nothing. Their last chance to save their homes by trusting in Keon’s war hero soldier ancestor to show them the way.
Any further help very gratefully accepted.
Is this story about a ->brave<- young boy, who when “he learns his East London house estate home is earmarked for demolition” (-)Inciting Incident(-), must “find a soldier’s hidden treasure” –> ((character goal driver)); in order to save his home (what’s @STAKE!) …?
Trying to “cause and effect” -> ‘must save home’ ++ ‘hidden treasure’ = problem might be resolved ….?
