Heres the deal. Im a senior in highschool. Im lazy. I have to write and film a screenplay with a group of like 6 people. Its due next week, and i realised today im the only on thats going to do it.

So im asking for some ideas that will be not suuuuppeeerrr lame, but real easy to write. I thiiink that its supposed to be like 20 minutes, so its short but it has to have some sort of plot other than that i dont think it matters.

Oh and i know that a lot of highschool classes make you write screenplays and shit so if anyone happens to have one saved that i could borrow from heavily that would be awesome.

I've written a bunch of films of all sorts of lengths.  If you just want to crank something out fast, do a mockumentary.  It's by far the easiest genre because you basically make the most retardedly ridiculous characters you can think of (like the office for example) and put them in a situation that they don't belong in. 

Here's one that my friend made that I like a lot.  http://www.vimeo.com/11792691

lol yea i liked that.

Are original idea was like a episode of real life. We were going to do real life: im a banana, but that led to a wild goose chase to find a banana suit that had been passed between like 400 people lol.
