Ideas for Short Film in March 2010

These are a couple of my ideas for possible scripts in March 2010. My 1st idea is based on the Short Story, 'A Family Supper' by Kazuo Ishiguro. My 2nd idea is based on the short story, 'Airport Cafe' by Kate Barker and Melissa Cassidy.

1st Story Line:
A chef prepares fish in a kitchen. 4 People then eat the fish. The people get poisoned. The chef steals their watches and jewellery.

About:
People running a risk for pleasure.
(Risk:, Fugu is a fish eaten by the Japansese even though the poison rides in the sexual glands of the fish and if these are not removed very carefully before cooking, the fish is poisonous. 'Fugu poisoning is hudeously painful and almost always fatal'. The Japanese eat the fish despite this because it is prized as a dish).

Synopsis:
Begninning
Chef arrives in kitchen with fish in bag.
Bag is marked, 'Fugu'.
Chef prepares fish very carefully.
Another person comes into the kitchen and washes.
Chef mimes to the other persdon what would happen if a particular part of the fish was not removed.

Middle:
4 People including the one who was in the kitchen with the chef, sit round a dinning table.
Chef brings in cooked fish.
4 People eat fish having animated silent conversation.
As soon as fish is finished, people start to stimulate agony, writhing, fall on floor and die.

End:
Chef enters room, looks at corpses.
Chef looks at them nervously.
We are uncertain whether he has killed them by accident or intentionally.
Chef takes watches and Jewellery from the bodies.
We assume he is going to rob the house.

2nd Story Line:
5 people are waiting in an Airport Cafe. There is a man sitting on his own. People arrive and depart the cafe. The man on his own keeps on looking at his watch. After a while, there is the sound of an explosion. Everyone runs. The man on his own smiles to himself and leaves.
