very character based, a la tarantino.

"Trucker Stop"
Hang out at the trucker stops on major interstates and gather their tales of the road.

i met this one dude who runs up to cars and pretends he has a squeegee in his hands and mime the cleaning process...
it was pretty funny, we gave him a few bucks

im sitting here thinking that the trucker stop thing would really be cool.
exploring their cabins and hearing their tales in one of those smokey trucker stop breakfast joints on the interstate.

how about one with a plumber who does a housecall, the door is opened by a woman in a skimpy nightdress, he goes in to fix the washing machine but ends up fucking her in all sorts of crazy positions, then the husband comes home and watches, then joins in. Then some gangsters arrive and kill them except the housewife who turns into a vampire and kills them.
then she moves house and changes her name and becomes a plumber, but not just an ordinary plumber, a vampire sex beast plumber.. which will be the sequel.
its got it made.

Why not do a short film on a grocery store bagger that doenst listen to the customer puts it in paper when they say plastic and in front of them smashes their food (throws it on the floor smashes it, opens it even tries it and then puts it on the bag and says oh tasty stuff you got there).

OK.
8 minutes of a drunk girl dancing to the jukebox by herself in a almost empty bar.
Seriously. You get the right girl, NOT a model. Any actress can pull this off. Its a winner. I'll help you with the song. Actually, she'd be dancing to it for like 6 minutes then it would end. She goes over to the jukebox, punches it, the same song comes on. and she starts dancing again.
fade to black.
I came real close to shooting this already. I got the girl. Early 90s softporn actress who used to dance, and can act drunk well. I had the bar. The camera guy flaked.
