Translation is a short film that takes place in the same universe as Inception. It's going to be an over-the-top comedy that ultimately becomes a dramedy.
[ ELLIE ] Caucasian. 18-25. Female. The sister of the lead, Preston's fiance. Ellie is a beautiful college student that is visiting her sister, Savanna. The opening scene takes place at Savanna's house where Preston and his friend Bo are outside forcibly doing yard work for Savanna, who is a control freak.. think crazy wife from The Hangover. However, Ellie is a bit more vigilant as she's still in college and sneaks off with Bo, a bit of a player, for a comedic sex scene. (Vigilant? I don't think that word means what you think it means, and I don't even think I know what you think it means.) Only requires topless nudity. The film is about Preston and Bo going into each other's dreams to see if you can subconsciously understand foreign languages you have heard before. They need to translate a mysterious scroll that Preston digs up while gardening, and there's a funny dialogue scene between Preston Bo and Ellie as Bo and Ellie are having sex. After we film and edit this, we will come back in early January to film what should end up being a 30 minute short for festivals. All other roles have been cast using students from the Playhouse West Acting School in Hollywood.

Let me save Bo & Preston some time - I think the scroll might read: "Pay your naked actresses." ...
