SYNOPSIS:
“DIE” is a short film capturing the moment when a young boy’s fascination with
tattoos and scribbling designs on his school papers leads to a dramatic
confrontation with his father and school principal. This unexpected conflict leads to
the boy realizing that the world is much more complex, complicated, and layered
than he had ever imagined.
CHARACTER BREAKDOWNS
[JIM ROBERTS] [MALE, 35-45, CAUCASIAN]
[Tall, with a physical presence, sharp features framed by longish hair. Once
handsome, his good looks have been obscured by a hard life of physical labor].
A single parent who resents his blue-collar existence. Angry and embittered,
intelligent, and charming. These warring aspects of his personality reflect in how he
interacts with those around him.
[WILLIAM ROBERTS] [MALE, 11-13, CAUCASIAN]
[Slight of build, with unkempt shaggy brownish-to-blond hair, and brown eyes.].
He is bookish, studious, and creative. A quiet kid who makes himself small and
invisible in the presence of his father. He enjoys school and the positive feedback he
receives from the adults there, so a moment where he has a conflict with both his
father and the principal is deeply upsetting for him.
