KNIFEPOINT

KNIFEPOINT
By Joshua Odigie

GENRE: Thriller, Drama
LOGLINE:

Two fates, differing outcomes, one fateful decision, a life hangs in the balance as a knife wielding young man is confronted by two strangers on his way home from work.

SYNOPSIS:

Knifepoint as a film follows the character 'Jaden' as he finishes his workday and heads into his local town to meet his fiancée, Sharon. What seems like a normal walk carried out thousands of times by this titular character jarringly splits into two possible narratives and outcomes.

In the first plot line Jaden bumps into two men on a lonely street and the incident escalates into a violent confrontation, in the other, he brushes off their actions and continues his path towards the woman he loves. Knifepoint gives the audience a bleak view of what consequences could be held when a deadly weapon enters the fray of what could have been a minor altercation, one with devastating consequences, the other with a future preserved.

In total agreement with Aray.

This almost feels as if you mean to depict a variety of different outcomes for how the protagonist handles the situation - kind of like Run Lola Run.
