Girl is fearful when she finds out what boy is up to. This plot will put the audience on the edge of their seats. Fear, suspense, tension, love, and loss. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For the production aspect of my film, there will be several factors that will affect the final outcome.

It would be small-scale because it would be local production. Perhaps, at a local cafe. We would also have a very low budget. My film would be independent. It will not be financed by a big studio. For my characters in the film, I could have friends and family portray the characters.  I would
