STRUCTURE

ACT I
Slow motion, our hero sprints down the dark city streets. As he takes off, his story is portrayed through snippets of his home life: teeth brushing, getting ready for school, him cooking breakfast as his little brother looks up to him admiringly. Again sprinting, this time up the steps of school and down the hallways. After school is hardly any different, sitting on the bleachers of the soccer field, he laces up his Nike cleats while laughing with friends. Slow motion shots of him juggling the soccer ball shows his brilliant skills, this is our moment of grace. It all culminates in him walking with his posse of friends —all smiles, arm around his girlfriend, his cool is effortless.

ACT II
Family dinner, we glimpse the foundation of this young man’s life: a single father who loves his boys with every fiber of his being. Intercut juggling and shooting with dad helping him do homework. He tucks his younger brother into bed at night then, he zips up his soccer ball in a Nike backpack and sneaks out of the house. We end with silhouetted trick shots in the streets followed by a slow motion shot of him walking towards the camera, his presence in a word: driven.
