Development Pitch
The hunger games did well, so my story might play out well as a series or a movie. It is a dystopian future of America. The book is a short story, but it doesn't mean the movie won't be good. I'm thinking we can go into William Hearth's past and show his struggle with addiction and homelessness. We can even show how Officer Ruth Jules started out and how the androids, "Craniums", came to be in the future. We can create how "The Brute" came into office. We can create the history of this world. It can be gripping, emotional, uplifting, and more. An underdog story of someone who struggled through life with a happy ending, getting everything they deserve. Everyone wants that. In these times, we need stories like these.
