Short Film Idea 4...

Following on from our idea of the OCD burgular, we searched to see if there were any examples we could use in our research, and we found that sadly, our idea had already been attempted (not very well, but still, its been done). Using some creativity, we came up with this instead...

Keeping with the idea of OCD and burglary, we came up with a concept which we have titled, "Confessions of a Sock-a-Holic". The story follows a young man who dresses up as a super hero named 'The sock man' and breaks into people's houses at night, as a burgular would, and rummages through someone's sock drawer and re-pairs all odd socks.
Paul Smith is a young schizophrenic who has suffered from delusions and hallucinations about the 'Sock Monster' ever since his father told him about the scarce fable to cover up the truth over his mothers death. In the style of a documentary, the crew follow Paul and they find out that he has an obsession with re-pairing odd socks that have been stolen by the 'sock monster' and with finding this theif once and for all. Paul's father is keen to tell his side of the story. Frim his interview we discover that the 'sock monster' was a one off story to stop Paul from taking the blame for his mother slipping on an odd sock at the top of the stairs which he accidentally dropped.
