Story-Telling Unit: Project Update

On one of my train journies I got thinking about other ideas and the idea of an interrogation cropped up: inspired by watching a lot of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

I worked with it and came up with basic premise:
A police detective is interrogating a criminal who is a strong suspect in a missing persons case. The suspect doesn't give anything away and just when we think he's won: he slips up. Accidentally saying something he couldn't have possibly have known unless he was guilty.

This then morphed slightly into the missing person being the detective's son. I then looked at it from a family perspective, a parent having to come face to face with their child's kidnapper/killer.

After a little more tweaking; I ended up with this:


We learn that a fathers’ son has gone missing and that the prime suspect is released due to lack of evidence. The film starts with the released man in a public park, the father approaches him and a heated discussion is had. After a short while the father draws a gun on the suspect and drags him to the nearby public toilets. An eyewitness calls the police and soon it becomes a standoff between the father and the police.
