Well...in another thread, Aku said that he wanted to make an SR film.
He has said that he's serious about it, and backed it by saying that he's just finished film school.
He also asked for help with ideas and what not from the board.

I have worked quite a bit on low budget movie making before I joined the military and have wrote a few scripts so I PM'ed him and offered my help with writing the script.
He accepted the offer but told me that he wants me to keep it City Neutral, or make it set in Pittsburgh because he can drive there if need be.

I'm thinking of setting it in Pittsburgh because my office co-worker is from there so I can gather local info from him for writing it which will be helpful and having an actual city would make the script be more alive than city neutral.

All that said (so you have a back-history and all), I wanted to open up the floor for ideas that anyone might have for an SR low-budget movie.

There are no guidlines or anything.
I'd rather just let everyone free-flow think and imagine on this one.

Should it be a full team, or lone character?
Should it be "Payback" or "Heat" style (revenge, or tactical hit)
Should it be a Corp run?
If so, what Corp's would be interesting to you?
What races would you like to see the most if it is to be a team of runners?

Stuff like that.

Any ideas?
