Dear Prism Church La,
I'm excited to announce our newest creative project for our community film series. This assignment challenges us to develop a compelling short film centered around teamwork, courage, and quick thinking in a high-stakes environment.
CONCEPT OVERVIEW:
Create a 10-15 minute short film following a college athletic team (swimmers, basketball players, or track team) who find themselves aboard a passenger flight when an unexpected crisis occurs. Through their teamwork, physical abilities, and moral courage, they must step up to resolve the situation.
KEY ELEMENTS TO INCLUDE:
A diverse team of young male athletes traveling to a competition
An unexpected crisis on the plane (medical emergency, security threat, or technical malfunction)
The moment when they decide to take action (show their hands over hearts as they make this commitment)
Creative use of their athletic skills to address the crisis
A resolution that demonstrates how ordinary people can become extraordinary heroes
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
Film in cinematic letterbox format (2.35:1 aspect ratio)
Include at least one rain sequence (either pre-boarding or through airplane windows)
Utilize authentic airline visuals and terminology
Keep the tone inspirational but realistic
This project offers an excellent opportunity to showcase positive male role models, teamwork, and courage in action. Remember that our goal is to inspire our community with stories of everyday heroism.
Let's create something powerful together!
