Senior Film Pitch
Camp Kanukatut (Comedy)...
Treatment:
Man, worn down by life and all its hardships, shown sitting, drinking coffee, reading paper
Phone rings, he answers as if dispatching, brother is calling
Brother is an overly-dramatic actor, polar opposite from man, in need of money
Suffering from some nonsensical ailment, brother pleads
Man concedes to helping pay for his treatment, starts flipping through paper
Finds a job he qualifies for, meets all requirements, then sees position "Camp Kanukatut Counselor"
Calls brother back and says no, to which he gets an equally dramatic response, sighs, applies
The stern man goes to the campsite and meets with the Director, a super friendly Canadian woman
He immediately gets the job, and a ridiculous outfit, feeling overqualified but again, concedes
Man, given his past, barks order at the children, resulting in tears
Counselors are all happy-go-lucky people, and one camper refutes man's orders
Comedic actions ensue as child rebels, man sees him being picked up by arguing parents
The next week of camp, man begins to empathize with kids and we see his "heart"
After receiving a session's worth of payment, man goes to brother, who needs more money
Ends with man walking back on campsite in counselor outfit
Logline:
A worn-down, retired prison guard must help his ridiculous, hypochondriac of a brother, pay for his acclaimed "ailments" by getting a job as a Boy & Girl Scout Camp Counselor, and is forced to step out of his comfort zone with children and not inmates.
