Idea for a project

I want a 'crash' style look at a robbery. Showcasing each unique view to the incident. The person who has a gun pushed to his chest, and his pockets emptied, and the man holding the gun and taking money, cell phones, jewelry, etc. home with him.

Hey Cody!
I think this is a good start. It has the potential to be very interesting and moving. It also has the potential to be very complicated. I think an idea like this is going to be really reliant on the pre planning and the writing. It will be important for you to find a way to keep it simple! What are things about the movie Crash that you particularly like? What is one point or common action that can unite all of the different people involved in the story? Like a gunshot...
Also I was curious as to what made you choose a robbery. It seems like an operation that could potentially involve more people besides the robber and the person being robbed. I know you are busy working on the campaign and everything but really excited to hear more about this idea.

Have you seen Dog Day

Have you seen Dog Day Afternoon? Definitely a cool look into all the people involved. And classic Al Pacino!
If you are really interested in this, then, as Lenora suggested, you'll need to start putting together the characters. You could create a synopsis of the story, but I want to know more about the characters. Make a character list, and then write a one paragraph biography for each character. Who are they? Where do they come from? What are the things about them that only their mother or friends know? What are the things about them that only they know? What significant things happened in their lives? WHat are their hobbies, addictions, manners of speaking? WHere did they group up?
