Your Stage : I'd like to share the first draft of my new short psychological thriller, "CHECKOUT." by Mikhail Lvov

I'd like to share the first draft of my new short psychological thriller, "CHECKOUT."

logline:

In a quiet supermarket, two strangers instantly connect at the checkout—until a masked gunman takes them hostage, forcing one of them to confront a terrible betrayal from the past that neither of them expected.

A tense story set in a single location about guilt, revenge, the masks we wear, and the price of unspoken truth. The script gradually evolves from an ordinary evening shopping trip into a claustrophobic nightmare filled with flickering lights, personal vengeance, and moral choices.

The English version is ready, but I'm still working on finalizing and editing it.

I'm open to comments on the current synopsis.

I'd appreciate any thoughts and constructive criticism!

Nice. Sounds like an ideal single location story, something filmmakers are into these days. I worked in a supermarket a long time ago. We were robbed 3X one time at closing and the guy hoarded us at gunpoint into our break room and took the manager to open the safe. We all made it out okay. Couldn't help but flashback to that. Good luck with your script!!

Richard Kjeldgaard Wow, Richard, that's a crazy story. I hope no one was hurt. That's the most important thing! Thanks for the comment!
