Reason: Editing
7 college seniors take a trip to a remote area of Lake Arrowhead for a weekend of sex, drugs, and parties. Little do they know, they are being stalked by a knife wielding psycho, with a white doll face mask. First their possessions go missing, then they start too. Several hours out from civilization, their trapped, in what they realize is a sadistic game, where the odds of survival are against them.
TITLE: Hot Mud Mambo
GENRE: Oscar favorite
SETTING: Louisiana Bayou
PLOT:
Angelina plays a down on her luck alligator wrestler with an amazing singing voice. When her last opponent bites off her leg, she has to leave the mud ring forever. She ends up on the streets of New Orleans, where an embittered mambo master (played by Antonio Banderas) takes her under his wing and teaches her the lost art of the one-legged mambo.
But little does Angie know that Antonio is in deep to the Yugoslavian mob. They kill Antonio and their chief scientist (played by Kevin Spacey) subjects Angie to top secret bionic experiments. She escapes with a new bionic leg and chainmail evening dress and fights crime in the mean streets of Burlington, Vermont.
Plot: (I'd note that I dreamt this up long before the recent quake/tsunami in Japan) A Japanese man, 30-ish, has undergone a traumatic set of personal experiences both romantically and professionally, and in the midst of a psychological metldown he rather stoically tried to conceal, he spontaneously leaves the country, seeing a sort of Kerouac-style personal vision quest, taking time out to figure out what his future plans might be. He ends up in the US, and he doesn't want to end up in one of the obvious big cities, which he's somewhat familiar with - he wants to be immersed in his idea of an America as exotic as most Americans might see Japan. So after a bit of travel in the country, he settles down in a picturesque, smallish city. He has enough money to surivive in the US for a year, if he budgets wisely, so he gives himself 12 months to sort himself out. To save money, he takes a room in a boarding house, and his rather diverse, and eclectic neighbors become his guides to some kind of 'authentic' America, which he is unexpectedly fascinated and moved by, as he acquires a rather diverse set of friends in a somewhat grittier America that he might have been expected to spend his time in. During this time he begins photographic his companions and the surroundings he finds himself in, publishing this in a detailed blog (the film is segmented into months charting this, or perhaps seasons - Winter-Spring-Summer-Fall), which evolves into an "On The Road"-esque manuscript. By the end of the year, the blog has given him enough attention to lead to a book deals in both the US and Japan, which becomes his future as he leaves the US to return home.
In English and Japanese, with a mix of Japanese indie rock, electronica, hip hop and country music on the soundtrack; the score by Japanese indie pop musician Shugo Tokumaru.
I have no idea about casting. There's a Japanese actor (whose name escapes me at the moment) who has done a number of Japanese indie films over the last 20 years, and also co-starred in the US in Jim Jarmusch's "Mystery Train" who would be a great fit, though he may be a little old for the role. The remainder of the cast would need to be urban, Southern, multi-ethnic, and of widely varying ages.
The overall style should be slow, episodic, almost a documentary or neo-realist look, shot from the main character's point of view, long takes, as little camera movement in the primary scenes as possible, but with street scenes between the quieter main scenes to try to catch the flavor of the city - and those street scenes would be where the soundtrack should go.
There are a vast number of places the film could be set. I'd like a smaller, out of the spotlight city that has some walkability and abundant street life, and Asheville is that, plus a mix of very spectacular scenery outside of town, an eclectic vibe, and a mix of Appalachian and Southern culture, which would - in that setting - offer a lot to work with in fleshing the film out. I explicitly envisioned it as NOT being in the West Coast states, New York, or Florida.
