Post your dream "film pitches" here

Use the standard "studio pitch" formula of "it's (previously existing film)meets (previously existing film)".

Multiple "meets" allowed.

You can also post your description of what the film made as a result of someone else's pitch might be like.

Examples:

(description: a young, helpless fawn looks back and asks what happened to Jesus).

2)pitch: "It's OKLAHOMA! meets THE OUTSIDERS"
