Today, I am going to brainstorm ideas with my group mates to find a feasible plot and talk about the setting and the items needed for the 2-minute movie opener. Here are the things we settled on:
Genre: Horror and Thriller
Roles: Me (doctor), Kamryn (patient), possible side characters, Suri working on camera and editing with Niliem, who plays a non-speaking role of (husband)
Props needed: Niliem will bring nurse/doctor clothing from her mom since she works as a nurse. Niliem will also provide needles and scalpels. Kamryn will provide cables and wires. A hospital gown will be needed; not sure who will bring it.
Possible storyline:
Dr. Elena Marquez is one of the leading transplant doctors in her area. She has been instrumental in keeping alive patients who were about to run out of time. Until the tragedy, of course, comes to her own family. Daniel, her husband, suffers a sudden and severe organ failure. The doctors gave him only a few weeks.
Elena puts him on the national transplant list right away; nevertheless, his situation is not severe enough to get the priority ranking he needs. The odds of a transplant happening in time are next to nothing.
Elena, overwhelmed by terror and sorrow, sees helplessness as the only option. She exhausts all legal routes, clinical trials, remote donor programs, and luxury hospitals, but the pace remains unchanged. She sees her husband fading away while she, a doctor who has been saving lives, feels utterly powerless.
The tension escalates, and Elena starts to do things that she had never thought she was capable of. She begins to illegally look for possible matches in hospital records. At the beginning, she convinces herself that she is only looking, not doing anything. But as Daniel continues to deteriorate, her desperation becomes an obsession.
The moment Elena discovers someone who could be the perfect donor, a healthy, anonymous person with no family ties, she is at a crossroads. She is aware of what the law requires, and she understands her moral pledge. However, she also knows that this organ could be the one to save her husband.
Elena picks Daniel.
