PITCH 2
WORKING TITLE
'Stiletto'
SYNOPSIS
A female kills boys who treat women/girls badly and also the girls who let boys treat them badly. The female killer hates how some women represent themselves as dumb and slutty on purpose.
FILM INFLUENCES
Jennifer's Body:
There is a female killer who kills boys because she was possessed by a demon. She lures them in with her flirty, sexy way of being and her looks, then she kills them alone somewhere. The idea of the victims being males is where I got some inspiration from.
Friday the 13th Remake:
The entire film opening of this is very similar to what I want to put in my film opening. The idea of cross cutting between shots of the lair scene and the scene in the forest of Alex (Scream King), Aubrey (Scream Queen) and Richard (Final Boy) walking to into the forest going to go camping is what I want to incorporate in my film opening at the very start.
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo:
I got the idea of a girl getting revenge on men who treat women badly from this film. Lisabeth Salander (the main protagonist) works with a male journalist to solve the many murders of some women who were also raped by their killer. I mainly took the idea of a woman having revenge on men for treating women the way they do (as lesser, as below them). I wanted that to be the main message of my film opening, that women aren't lesser than men, but that they can also be killers and overpower/dominate men the way men do to women; I wanted to go against the norms of the slasher genre where the killer is always a man and the victims are always busty, topless, sexually active women. I also decided to change the final girl into a final boy.
CAST
Female Killer: Orla Hogan
'Final Boy': Richard Dannenberg
'Scream King': Alex Elliott
'Scream Queen': Aubrey Krizan (Alex's girlfriend)

What is DISTRIBUTION?
"Distribution is the process of making a movie available for viewing by an audience. For commercial projects, film distribution is usually accompanied by film promotion. When a film is initially produced, a feature film is often shown to audiences in a movie theatre".
- from Wiki
Distributors are the middlemen between the film production companies and the exhibition companies.
Top 10 Film Distributors of 2017 January:
...
The first 7 film distributors here in this list are part of the 'big six'/'big seven'.
Some people claim that the big six is now the big 7, with the addition of 'Lionsgate'.
