Elevator pitch


Elizabeth Fulton, an awkward lonely pro-life activist considers artificial insemination.  

The theme of the movie is the personal struggles of a pro-life activist.

The central point is that the girl realizes that there is another side other than what she grew up believing.

The central goal is to represent each side of an argument leaving the viewer to come up with his/her own conclusion.

The movie in abstract terms is an unmarried activist wants a baby.

Short Synopsis-
The setting is 2012; Memphis, TN. The main character is a 29-year-old white widow named Elizabeth Fulton. She hopes to keep her husband's pro-life/religious beliefs alive by being a protester. She works as a secretary for an office downtown. She is reserved and awkward. She is lonely and desperately wants a child of her own. Elizabeth starts considering her options with artificial insemination. In the process she is caught by one of her fellow activists. The group shuns her. She starts to experience the other side of the argument. Her conflict is deciding if she wants to go through with the procedure or try to make it right with her group.

The tone and execution of the film will have little to no dialogue/actions through body language and camera angles. Wide angles will be used to emphasize the main characters loneliness. The appearance/aesthetic of the film will be real, down-to-earth, not a lot of make up or harsh lighting.

Objective- Elizabeth wants a baby but is not sure what direction to take- The audience will leave the film making their own decision based off Elizabeth’s struggle from both views.

Target Audience- the film will be geared toward individuals who have strong beliefs either pro-choice or pro-life.
