Synopsis/Details
**CURRENTLY UNDER A BIG REVISION. IT WILL BE UPDATED SOON** Ian is playing a video game at home. It's late. Greg rings the intercom, bringing him his ordered pizza. Being deeply involved in the action game, he has trouble being timely with answering the door. Greg almost leaves without giving Ian his change back. After returning to the game and finishing his session, he goes to sleep. Disturbing dreams wake him up, revealing he's suffering from anxiety and depression. He goes back to bed. Early on, he goes to the store where he meets a new employee, a young and beautiful girl, Tina. Their conversation goes well, Tina giving Ian her phone number. He goes back home to work. He makes a careless mistake because of his anxiety, sparking a talk with his manager. He should fix his performance soon, as it hasn't been going well for a while now. His shift ends and he's again being called on by his friends, Xiu and Donny, to play their usual video game. After thinking about it, he declines so he can go out with Tina, as they previously arranged it. Ian and Tina spend a while sitting in the forest. Tina honestly offers to help him get over everything he went through in his life, if he agrees to live a normal life. After he agrees, they start leaving the forest—holding hands—while images show how their new love developed into happiness over the years.

The Writer: Pavle "Pav" Petrovic

Born in Belgrade, Serbia on March 4th, 1991, living now in the municipality of Zvezdara. High school graduate, currently finishing college for an environmental engineer (paused for 2 years though, because of divorce). I worked for some of the largest clients on Upwork over the last 10 years. During that time, I wrote scripts, stories, articles etc. in my spare time, a dream I had since I was 7. As a professional screenwriter, I've been writing, editing and generally working (formatting/proofreading) shorts and features for live-action, theatre, and YouTube for 4 years. These were mostly work-for-hire over Fiverr, Upwork, and Craigslist, but I have many of my own works written from scratch.… Go to bio
