The story that I?m trying to tell now is a film that depicts the 24 hours prior to Brutus deciding to join the conspirators in killing Caesar.

Your last post in the previous thread regarding your adaptation of Shakespeare's play "Julius Cesar" into the world of software company managed by women stated that you were rewriting your script.
Hope that you gave found a new angle for it.

Short movies have different rhythm and requirements than regular length movies. Protagonists and antagonists must be clearly and quickly established. Short back story establishing everybody's motives are a must.
The idea of concentrating on the 24 hours before Brutus's decision to join the Cabale against Cesar is a good idea. But you need to quickly establish that decision has to be made and that it is killing Brutus inside. Your script is about the power struggle at the top of a software business. Make it brutal and gut wrenching. Make it personal, because business is always personal.

Here are some ideas that hopefully will help.

Brutus receives a phone call giving an ultimatum. A boardroom coup will take place tomorrow. She can join the plotter or she can resist them. But she has to pick a side by tomorrow's meeting. The rest of the movie is then about her, trying to negotiate a truce. Trying to delay the coup. Wrestling with the idea of betraying her mentor. At the end, she can reveal that she has made a decision. Then finish on her entering the boardroom meeting without the audience knowing her final decision.

One big change to the play, you can introduce is Cesar's pre meeting knowledge that a coup is coming. After Brutus has received notification of the coup by the plotter. Julia Cesar comes to inform Brutus of the plot, who say nothing about the previous conversation she just had with the plotters. Cesar vent her anger at them without knowing that Brutus is thinking of joining them. Have the mentor Julia Cesar asking for help from her protege to convince one of the plotters (who can be one of Brutus's family member such as a cousin or sister) to switch side. Then have Julia Cesar realise that her own protege Filia Brutus has doubts. Conflict. Personal introspection.

Hey. I'm making a short film. It's not all of Caesar, just my idea about what all went into Brutus' decision to join the plot of killing Caesar.

Hi JBalmer, just wanted to let you know that if you want to write you story on spec as a sample, sure go for it. But there is already a Caeser story shooting at the moment with Sean Bean.
