Synopsis/Details
This is a Action/Comedy focused on LGBT+ characters. Ajay (29) is not one for paintballing but he arrives at the paintball centre willing to participate at the request of his new boyfriend Ray (25) who is the more outgoing person out of the pair. After collecting his paintballs Ajay bumps into the back of a man and the balls spill everywhere. Ajay looks up to see that the man is his ex-boyfriend (David) standing next to the woman (Alisha). Small talk boils over into sour words which almost erupt into a full-blown argument before it is cut off by the referee announcing the rules of this last person standing red vs blue game. The couples join their respective opposite teams on the map. For Ajay and David, this is more than a game. David wants to hold onto his self-inflated view of himself, and Ajay needs closure, but only one can get what they want. The starting claxon sounds and the teams engage in fast-paced big action (well as big as you can get with a paintball gun) which Ajay relishes in as he becomes this ruthless target-driven take command person who Ray hasn't seen before but is highly attracted to. The teams consisting of (but not limited to) teenagers, a drunk hen party, and army trainee wannabes dwindle until the last soldiers standing are Ajay and David. The two stand up from behind their walls and one emerges victorious.

The Writer: STEVEN BLOWS

After enjoying the life of a reader for many years I am now a passionate writer compelled to create fantastical fiction in varying genres. With a focus on writing feature-length screenplays and experimenting with potential ideas in the form of short stories/scripts. Not a day goes by when I am not working on my latest screenplay, engaged in a writing group, or expanding my knowledge of cinematic practices. I aim to explore this world through writing. I have four completed feature-length spec scripts and fourteen short scripts of varying lengths from 3-24 pages long. Among other awards, my script 'THE MIGHTY VARIANTS' has been awarded a Quarter-Finalist place in the Final Draft Big Break… Go to bio
