Similar storylines to ours

Part of research is to look at films that are very similar to ours whether it is from independent or mainstream films.
Pulp Fiction

This is a film all about drugs and the consequences of them. It even involves a gang and what happens when you get in with the wrong crowd. Here is the plot Pumpkin and Honey Bunny are two thieves who, while dining at a coffee shop, decide that the best thing to do is to rob it. Vincent and Jules, two hit men working for mob kingpin Marcellus Wallace, are sent to retrieve a very special and very mysterious briefcase for their boss. Vincent later must also show Mrs Wallace a good time while her husband is out. Butch Coolidge is an ageing prize-fighter who is being paid to "take a dive", but instead, accidentally kills him opponent, and tries to flee town, but not before getting his dead father's lucky golden watch. These four seemingly unrelated stories are interwoven together in a non-linear fashion.

Another film that is particularly relatable to our film is spring breakers where drugs end up in the wrong hands and influence what others do when on them. The plot is Brit, Candy, Cotty, and Faith have been best friends since grade school. They live together in a boring college dorm and are hungry for adventure. All they have to do is save enough money for spring break to get their shot at having some real fun. A serendipitous encounter with rapper "Alien" promises to provide the girls with all the thrill and excitement they could hope for. With the encouragement of their new friend, it soon becomes unclear how far the girls are willing to go to experience a spring break they will never forget. The film is rated an 18 because of the drugs, violence and sexual content in it.

Drive is another good film that can be used for inspiration to our storyline. Its about a man who helps his neighbour and lands himself in some serious trouble which could cost him his life.

A mysterious man who has multiple jobs as a garage mechanic, a Hollywood stuntman and a getaway driver seems to be trying to escape his shady past as he falls for his neighbour - whose husband is in prison and who's looking after her child alone. Meanwhile, his garage mechanic boss is trying to set up a race team using gangland money, which implicates our driver as he is to be used as the race team's main driver. Our hero gets more than he bargained for when he meets the man who is married to the woman he loves.
