Story concepts for Film class

Well, we've been asked to make these story concepts for a short film, and I browsed over my previous fiction stories and tried to summarize them into five sentences. I sooooo wish I'd be able to produce all my works in the future, and Film class is definitely a good start!

Anyway, I just wanted to share the three story concepts I made just now. Actually, I'm not sure if concept is the right term to use. Ahahah! Summary?! Anyway, I've published Syria and Celeste on my Multiply account several years back, while My Name is Clyde and Ilog Sierra came in last year.

My Name is Clyde
How can a person love someone who couldn’t love you back? At the final year of her high school, Essie meets Clyde who, in every aspect, is every girl’s dream guy. Struggling to fit in along with the other students of the university, Essie finds deliverance in the hands of a complete stranger (Clyde) who keeps her company every day. When the necklace she received from Clyde suddenly disappears, Essie’s memory of the car incident she had over a year ago gets more vivid, slowly realizing that she may be sharing more than just everyday small talks with her dream guy.

This story was born inside an FX on my way home. An ambulance passed by us, and the blue and red lights flickered on the face of the pretty girl sitting across me. I assumed her name was Essie.


Ilog Sierra
Childhood bestfriends Mico and Trish were separated by fate when Mico’s family decides to migrate to the U.S. just before they reach high school. Six years later, Mico returns to the country with high hopes of seeing his childhood best friend and finally confess of his suppressed feelings towards Trish. Back at Ilog Sierra, Mico sees the same Trish he left six years ago, except that she is already married. Ilog Sierra reminds us of our childhood promises, and how inevitable circumstances make it difficult for us to fulfill them.

This story was created for two people very close to me. It's my way of telling their love story.

Syria at Celeste
Long-time partner Syria and Celeste are caught by the 7:00 p.m. rush hour along Ortigas and heavy rain begins to pour. Inside the car, the couple is caught in an intense argument about lovers’ past and issues that have long been repressed. As the rain and traffic gets heavier, so does the emotions pouring inside the car. Will their relationship stay in traffic or are they headed for another detour? Syria at Celeste takes us to a road trip that will shed light on relationships that encounter road humps, intersections and dead ends.

This was the life story I had during my second year college. I placed myself in one of the character's shoe, and piled my frustrations with other people on the other character. Put together, the two main characters Syria at Celeste create some sort of chemistry that makes a good tandem. Twofold. I was able to release my feelings, and was able to come up with an interesting story. ahah.





I have a lot of stories to tell, but only a few really chooses to listen.
