TORMENTED

By putting this whole first line in caps, it is as if Rob is warning that he will be tormenting us with his story. Hm. Interesting point, Rob. I'm ready... take my breath away...

TORMENTED BY ROB PAYNE


She signed a legal contract that says if she cheats on her husband he has the right to take her breath any way he chooses.

A wealthy real estate investor (Jon Simms) got cheated on by his first wife and he got to see this. This destroyed Jon but as time goes by he is now ready to get married again. This time when he gets married he decides to protect himself. He wasn't going to pay another woman to cheat on him and destroy him all over again. Jon and his attorneys came up with a contract not a prenuptial. A contract that states if Samantha Bell has sex physical or oral with anybody other then her husband Jon Simms . Jon Simms has the right to take her breath any way that he chooses. After five years of being together she does end up cheating on him and he takes her to court and sues her for breach of contract and wins. Will Sam survive THE CONTRACT and the press or will Jon legally kill her with the rest of the world cheering him on? This is literally Samantha against the world; nobody can save her.

My Name is Rob Payne and I live in Galloway, Ohio. This is the first time this subject has been approached the way that I have approached it. I hope it interests you.

Cover Band: Don't Stop Believing

Cover Band: Don't Stop Believing is a comedic musical adventure encompassing our bar band, Starship Runner.

Log:

A cover band grows before our eyes to play on the grandest of stages, Madison Square Garden.

Synopsis:

A band plays in a bar on a Wednesday night for no money. A stark reality for most bands these days. But Starship Runner isn't going to take it lying down! Kix, Carl, DJ and Mike set forth to find themselves a manager. Someone who is going to have their best interests at heart. Someone who knows about the business of music and promotion. Or someone who is going to kidnap them. Which is exactly what Gary did.

After weeks of preparation Starship Runner is thrown into the spotlight via a "battle of the bands" contest held in a popular bar in Tulsa, Oklahoma. After much mockery Starship Runner comes out guns blazing to win over the audience and more importantly, the judges.

Five years later. Starship Runner's awakening performance at the "battle of the bands" is long behind them. They are now on the road, living their dream. They have a PR person, manager, roadies, a tour bus, and a tour bus driver. Carl writes a book reaching out to preteens and, touched by fame, the band decides to make a documentary about their historic run and eventual concert at Madison Square Garden.

They arrive in New York City virtual virgins to big city life. We follow the band through the lens of the documentary during their escapades in New York City.

Finally, time for the big show! All their hard work has paid off! Through the lens of a documentary film we follow Starship Runner and their entourage on the day of their momentous show and through the performance. A big musical piece caps off this film and at the end we are left to wonder if in fact, Starship Runner enjoys eating sushi.


Thank you again for taking the time to read through this and I hope to hear from your organization soon!


Sincerely,

'Carnation

The only question is: is this live action, or animated? Otherwise, it's pretty self explanatory.

"A reincarnated redneck quickly discovers that life as a duck isn't all it's quacked up to be."

Genre: Comedy

Larry, a blue-collar "good ol' boy", misses no opportunity to torment his fellow creatures. One day when trying to rid the world of a pesky Armadillo, Larry accidentally blows himself up and falls into a coma (but he believes he's died and gone to heaven). Larry is stopped at the pearly gates and told that he's been given another shot... but must return to earth as the very animals he once abused.

I have a B.A. degree from Purdue University in Telecommunications (with a focus on writing for the media).

I would like to submit this screenplay for your consideration and can be contacted as listed below.

Thank you.

THE LIFE OF THE PARTY

I smell high jinks!


THE LIFE OF THE PARTY

Logline: How far will a boring guy go to win the heart of his dream girl, who desires a man with a great sense of humor?

Genre: Comedy

Duncan Adams, a boring psychotherapist with the excitement quotient of Nyquil, has met his dream woman, Laura, who looks for sense of humor as her #1 dating criteria. After failing the class "Anyone Can Be Funny", Duncan discovers a new drug, Jovitrol, guaranteed to make you jolly and joking. At first all is well and he wins Laura's heart and funnybone. But when competition enters - namely British comedian, Billy Bedlam, Duncan overdoses in an attempt to be #1 funny man. The downside is his humor becomes insulting and rude, causing him to lose friends, clients and landing him in jail. Even after stopping the Jovitrol, he's still Don Rickles. Will the comic nightmare wreck his new relationship? And is being funny worth it or should we just be happy with who we are?

I would like to submit this screenplay for your consideration and can be contacted as listed below.

Thank you for your time.

MAKING OF SAM'S "HERO"

So, what drew me to posting this script query, is it forced me to wonder what a LASBIAN is. It must be some sort of hybrid. It is in all caps, so I was drawn to the word, but this description may be too long for me to get through the whole thing. Maybe you can read it and let me know...


MAKING OF SAM'S "HERO"

SAM IS AN ASPIRING FILMMAKER, WHO IS TRYING TO MAKE A FILM FOR SUNDANCE DURING HIS SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL, BUT SINCE HE HAS NO RESOURCES OR POPULARITY AT SCHOOL, THE TASK PROVES DAUNTING, WILL HE "MAKE IT" OR NOT?

Genre: Comedy


SAM is an aspiring film maker, who is having rough high school years with his 2 best friends JOE and AMANDA, they already had the worst 3 years in high school, they were invisible, really invisible to the point of being able to crash parties, still when they do they had no luck making new friends, because they were invisible. they needed to cast students to make a film which they were making for sundance film festival. So at the end of the summer holidays they decided to crash the biggest party in town held by the MAX, the quarterback of their high school team, where they would hand out cards for auditions and have fun. but things go wrong when they crash it and MAX finds out and humiliates them, killing not only their dreams to get laid on senior year, but also their chances of making a film.

MAX is the kind of guy who has everything; he is the definition of the American dream, the football star of his high school team with many NFL coaches knocking on his door, waiting for him to graduate. His dad is a very powerful agent that represents many Hollywood stars. And with that came the cars the parties, the ladies the life style that most only dream of, so senior year was looking good for him.

But it might not go his way after all; so far he had no competition with the ladies by anyone in school, until the new student shows up, THE HOTTEST LASBIAN EVER (MEGAN FOX TYPE). MEGAN becomes the center of attention in school and her popularity soars even more when she rejects a date from MAX.

MAX and MEGAN start to compete for girls and create a war between each other in school, they would both hit on the same girls at parties and malls, and would both show affection in public to make each other jealous. MAX then pays a hooker to act like a new girl at school and get with MAGEN and tape a sex scene with her, and then spread the tape around the school, which gets MEGAN expelled and humiliated.

For revenge Megan teams up with SAM and JOE. Their plan hits many birds with one stone, they decided to make a film as their payback, since they need a film for the Sundance Film Festival. They use the footage from MEGAN's tape, and set out to make a Comedy about how Women are better off having sex with unattractive Horney Men and other Women rather than attractive men who are over-rated and Viagra dependant because unattractive men are in need of sex which gives for a great sex, and women know what women want. They start by making a sex scene with SAM and MEGAN.

SAM and JOE convince a mom to play a role in the movie which involves hitting on MAX, taking him home, giving him Chinese tee that makes him unaroused and have unpleasant unsatisfying sex with him, and then have her husband walks in on them in the middle of it, and with their special effects and filming skills they make the husband chop the moms head and get great Footage of MAX running naked scared in the streets unaroused.

When the film is done, its gets many Award at Sundance Film Festival and becomes a classic, which starts a new trend in High schools all over north America "its better to date unattractive men, because they are better at sex and have better future". It also makes MEGANS tape look like leaked footage from the film instead of a standalone tape, which lifts off her suspension from school and launches a great film career.

During the last game of the season, out of anger Max head buts another player who was making fun of him and falls unconscious, and he wakes up in the hospital with a slight brain damage which was helped by the trauma he went through seeing a women get slaughtered, and becomes the most loved retard in town and ends up dating the nerdish/half crazy girl in school who always fantasizes about him and says to other girls that one day hell be hers.

The script was pitched to Seth Rogen.
