A Raving Pitch - Attack of the Right Brain


Today we're going to introduce the Raving Pitch. What is a Raving Pitch you ask; it is our attempt to sell a really great film or television idea to Hollywood, Bollywood or Vancouver (we're not picky). Every Raving Pitch consists of the following elements:
  • A catchy movie title
  • Dramatic synopsis
  • Genre designation/s
  • Recommended cast
  • A catchy slogan or line that can be used on the poster art
  • One liners for the script
  • A mash-up description (e.g. how the idea relates to other better known ideas that someone did approve and produce).  
  • 5 really good reasons why someone has to make this movie
  • Completely unrelated thoughts that demonstrate our creative volatility and hipness
Today's Raving Pitch is "Attack of the Right Brain."

Genre - Horror/ Sci-Fi

"I'm totally in touch with my feelings"


Dramatic Synopsis - Dr. Roger Bork was just an ordinary guy working in a college bio-weapons lab when he met Lola, the yoga instructor at the local YMCA. Their fiery passion was threatened though by the tension between her Right Brained alternative lifestyle and his Left Brained logic. Fearing he might lose her forever, Roger tracks down Timothy Leary's little known research on how to be hip without really trying and uses his weapons lab to create a super-Right brain. But it all goes horribly wrong as his transcendental harmonic convergence goes on a killing rampage at the campus.

The Peter Lorre of our Generation
Possible Theme Song - "Brains"

Cast - Steve Buscemi as Dr. Bork; J-Lo as Lola; John Goodman as General Drones

Slogan  - "Two Hearts living in one mind, gone mad"

One Liners - "Meditate on this!" , "Take two hundred aspirin and never call me again..."

Mash-Up Description:  It's like "Prometheus" meets "The Women" or "Mac versus PC"

Reasons why the movie should be made:
  1. Everyone has brains and most people have both Left and Right brains.
  2. Steve Buscemi is an irresistible box office draw and this movie was made for him.
  3. Brains are icky, scary and make excellent monsters.
  4. Kids love thinking with and about their brains - so it will appeal to the youth market.
  5. Our Right brain says we should trust our instincts and share our love with the whole world and our Left Brain has lots of good ideas for product placement.
Completely random thought - check this out - it will blow your mind, which part we can't say though.


Hold me closer tiny dancer, and stop switching directions I'm getting really confused !
