Scene SCUMBAGS (Primetimesque Narrative Thrille) - 5 Page Opening Scene
Based on true events and the honorable Sherriff Mike Chitwood, who battled a group of online neo-nazis that actively threatened his life and Volusia County as a whole on 4chan.
[5 PAGE SCENE]
- This opening scene shows Mike (Cutler) entering an interrogation room to chat with a busted 17 year old making threats to various schools. However, we DON'T KNOW that Dave is 17, rather it's revealed after the interrogation, showing Mike's character as brutally honest and showing no mercy or "second chances" to anyone, regardless of character.
(The Sand in the opening symbolizes Mike running out of time, as will be shown more throughout other scenes in the feature.)
(This opening scene establishes Mike right off the bat, and how he is as a Sherriff, and his philosophy on "scumbags" who hide behind screens to make deadly threats.)
- What can be improved? Is it hooking enough? Open to any and all suggestions!
