Someone stole my idea for a movie!

PsychicNinja · 04-14-2008, 02:44 PM

Hey! First time posting on VGF in a looooooooooooonng time. Anyways. About 7 months ago, I came up with what I thought was a great idea for a film. Since then I've decided I want to make this movie and become a film-maker, maybe as a career. The idea was basically to document what it'e REALLY like to be an American teenager. Do those jock/nerd/etc cliches really exist? I'd even a little imaginay trailer in my head.

So I'm browsing the internet, and I find THIS!

(sorry not allowed to post URL. Google "American Teen")

And I'm like WHAT!!?!

Ive another similar, although slightly different idea as well, but now Im feelin hella discouraged. People would think i just ripped this off!

They just played that at the Philadelphia Film Festival.

I didn't see it, but the people who did said it was awesome.
