My EPL Affair

Yoz all,

Okay here is my pitch:

A Comedy based on a young guy's fortunes and misfortunes with Soccer betting. We show this guy's addiction to soccer betting and how he wins lots of money and how after a series of losses find himself in debt, bookies coming after him.

He tries to get help from his so called friends who ran away when they learn he no money. Desperate, he thinks of many ways out of his predicament which will be many short scenes like

1.)Selling illegal VCDS - Kena chased away by police
2.)Selling illegal cigarettes - Same
3.)Snatch theft or rob bank etc

But his cowardly self dismisses every idea as he thinks of the dire consequences. Lastly he cannot take it decides to commit suicide so he again thinks of the various ways to die:

1.)Jump
2.)Eat pills
3.)Kena hit by car

All with hilarous results and reactions from him as he also kia see. Finally he is so down he does some self reflection before a true friend whom he shunned in the beginning of the film comes with his family and save him by giving him a loan, then he understands the meaning of true friends and vows off betting.

Last scene shows him betting (again??) but not! its him playing PS2 with a young cousin and him being esctatic after winning hahaha.

Comedy in the sense show how he bungles while thinking of all the ways to get $$, how pple siam him and how he tot of dying. Serious part aka self reflection part is when he realised his folly and when his friend and family saves him.

Moral of the story is abt soccer betting and its pitfalls. Alot of the scenes are easy to do and i figure not so much props involved. Thing to worry as always is cast. Wat u guys think?
