Beyond the EU: DORA and NIS 2 Directive's Global Impact
Pitch
1. WHEN TWO ENDS MEET
Or something like that. We’re not sure yet.

2. SYNOPSIS
The two-minute sequence is the lead-up to the typical romantic-comedy ‘meet-cute’
between the two main characters.
Throughout the video, it becomes (well hopefully seems like it) evident that both have
just gotten out of relationships BUT both of them deal with it differently: the girl goes
through the ‘conventional’ ways of portraying “moving on” while the boy goes through
a sort of Tom-Hansen-post-Summer depression.
Their morning routine will look as if it is corresponding with each other. Just to
emphasise the rom-com cliché of being ‘meant for each other’.
The last few shots will show them walking while on their phones. The boy is shown
hopelessly waiting for the girl he’s calling to pick up, the girl receives a call from a boy
and contemplates picking it up. The split screen fades as they get closer and
eventually bump (bc they’re too preoccupied by their phones) into each other anD
CUE MEET-CUTE.

3. CHARACTER PROFILE:
Post-Break-up Female Lead
To challenge conventional
portrayals of post-break-up female
characters, the girl in the film
opening will show signs of ‘moving-
on’ e.g. cutting her hair, changing
her overall look, acting with
apathy/strength.
Her character is inspired by typical
female movie transformations, that
give a sense of independence and
hence empowerment to female
demographics.
Character-Inspiration:
Summer Finn (500 Days of
Summer)
Lola (Lola Versus)
Mulan (Mulan)
Sandy (Grease)
Laney (She’s All That!)
Andie (Pretty In Pink)
4. CHARACTER PROFILE:
Post-Break-up Male Lead
To contrast with the female
character, the male lead will display
obvious melancholy/hopelessness.
Like the female protagonist, this
would challenge the archetypal
image of male characters who are
not usually portrayed as being
vulnerable or emotionally weaker
than the female lead.
The guy would, to contrast with the
girl, move at a slower pace; seem
irritable; show no sign of ‘moving
on’.

Tom (500 Days of Summer)
Basel (The Pretty One)
Theodore (Her)
Duckie (Pretty In Pink)
Joey (Eternal Sunshine…)
Dean (Blue Valentine)
