Through the holidays, i've been coming up with ideas.
I've came up with four ideas:
The Wild East- Revenge/Post modern western, male character helping a female character (friend) from peers who take advantage.
Dead Man Shoes meets Straw Dogs meets True Romance.
Zombies Up- Horror/ Comedy, basic zombie film how people are trying to survive holding in a building but with british ways of things. Using references from old zombie movies and games.
Shaun of the dead meets Evil Dead.
Mandy's Mate's- Social Realism, A look at todays society through the eyes of an alienated drug user, the idea of being young and getting old, friendship, loss of culture, ignorance, etc. (my personal Faviourite idea) Uses quoets/refferences to Hunter S Thompson and Bill Hicks.
Human Traffic meets Fear and Loathing meets Bill Hicks.
(No Working Title)- A female who wakes up doesnt know where she is or who she is?
Then she finds theres monsters, everything will have a part in the twist.
Silent Hill meets Mulholland Drive meets Momento.
Tell me what you think to these ideas?

Your knowledge of films is really impressive. I can understand the inspiration behind all these ideas. Good work. I'm not as handy with films as yourself, but the best idea for me is this one.
"Mandy's Mate's- Social Realism, A look at todays society through the eyes of an alienated drug user, the idea of being young and getting old, friendship, loss of culture, ignorance, etc"
I presume these ideas are for your AV piece in the navigating identities? If so that idea right there could make a really powerful short. If you make realism and society important then just about anyone watching could relate to it. It would be fairly easy to film in terms of cameras, acting etc. If you need any help with this project give me a shout.

I like Mandy's mate also. Seems to me to be the only one that isnt a pastiche of other ideas/genres
