25 Word Movie Pitch

[Marbles]

I see in the news today (well the Independent anyway) that the British Film Council is handing out wads of cash in ?15k bundles to the best 25 word summary's for possible movie plots!!

I can't understand why you need a 'talent agent' before you can apply tho' ???

Anyway, here's my pitch... :)

"Desperate young British soldiers hunted by Japs in WW2 Burmese Jungle hellhole transformed into savage fighters by brutal deranged new Army 'Captain'.
Or is he ?"

Its the new 'Dog Soldiers' I tell ya....

Anyone want to be my litary agent and I'll write some tosh and we'll split the money.  

This has EXPENSIVE FARCE written all over it.  They should slap themsleves, realise it's a rotten idea and then feel bloody ashamed.

How can you possibly fund a film on the basis of those hackneyed descriptions ??
I mean there's zero imagination displayed there. Grrrrr. Makes my blood boil.
