Note: This film will be set at night because light is very poor in the future so will always
look like the evening.

Text: The year is 2048


There has been a government project that looked at “mind control” of
humans, but it was forced out of existence in the end. Special forces
were sent to kill the human guinea pigs. This resulted in the arrest of
the special forces and the government throwing the project out of the
window.
The project was called RedRobin. Until now the project hasn’t been
brought to the public’s attention.

(All words fade except The, RedRobin and project creating the title)

Fade to

INT Lounge EVENING: The TV is on in the dark house, it’s playing a news
item about a government project that killed many people and was forced
out of existence, the project was called ‘RedRobin’.

NEWS REPORTER ON TV
Nathan Jason has been arrested in relation
to the government project ‘RedRobin’, which
led to the murder of thousands of innocent
people. The special forces involved were a
rrested or managed to flee the country.
From new evidence we have been given, the
special forces have been released and given
a pardon from the country. From evidence
brought forward a third person Nathan Jason
has been arrested. He was part of the
RedRobin cover up. He sent in special forces
to eliminate the test subjects, at this time
they thought they were terrorists but in fact
they were the RedRobin guinea pigs. The
government said to shoot all. Yet when
questioned the government were unaware of this order.
All this information is coming to light from
an anonymous person giving the police a tip
off and sending information to journalists.
He is the third person to be arrested in
relation to the project RedRobin. The police
expect more arrests in the near future…

NEWS REPORTER ON TV

(the news is turned off)

JERROLD DAWSON gets up and walks to the door.

Cut to

EXT raining, front door EVENING: A hologram is standing outside in the


rain it’s a blue hologram wearing a red top, blue jacket and fedora on
(with the words memory bank going around the hat).

INT, front door EVENING: Jerrold Dawson opens the door, and sees the
hologram.

HOLOGRAM
Hello. Are you Jerrold Dawson?

JERROLD DAWSON
Yeah

HOLOGRAM
Excellent, here is your memory bank that
you purchased.

The hologram hands over a small circular disc. Jerrold Dawson takes it
and closes the door.

Cut to

INT Lounge EVENING: Jerrold walks back into the lounge and puts the disc
on the table, a hologram of the bank of memories pops up. A woman
appears at the start, it is HELEN SMITH CEO of Memory Bank.

HELEN SMITH

The RedRobin Project

Hello and welcome to your purchase of


your memory bank for you to look back
on all your memories. The company would
not be possible if it wasn’t for a little
chip inside your head, that’s recorded
all your memories. So, welcome to your
memories from the Memory Bank.

The screen then turns blue screen showing eight titles: Mum dying,
grandma and grandad, leisure time, school, work, happy times, dad
leaving and other.

Jerrold stares at the word mum dying, he feels sad, reaches to touch it
but retracts.

JERROLD DAWSON
Leisure time.

The screen pops up with a memory of him playing in a garden, climbing a


tree with his friend, wondering how he got up there. Jerold smiles.

JERROLD DAWSON
School

The memories change to him in his teens going to school walking around.
A girl then walks in and they look like girlfriend and boyfriend, he
doesn’t recognise her, another one shows him being good at drawing.

(V.O) JERROLD DAWSON

You always remember who you went out with


and who you slept with, but that girl I
don’t ever remember, and drawing I was awful
at it, that drawing I got from a friend.

Cut to

INT Kitchen EVENING: Jerrold gets up and moves to the kitchen where he
gets on the phone to the company.

MEMORY BANK
Hello and welcome to Memory Bank how can
we help?

JERROLD DAWSON
Yes, I ordered my memory bank and I don’t
recognise some of the memories.

MEMORY BANK
Oh, ok let me have a look for you…

From the lounge


Aaaahhhh

Cut to

INT Lounge EVENING: There is a sudden scream from the lounge, Jerrold
goes to investigate and sees a memory he is stabbing a woman to death.
The CEO of Memory Bank (Helen Smith) then pops back up.

HELEN SMITH
Unfortunately, you have committed a crime
in your memory 544668903g. The police have
been notified (voice starts to get muffled)
and will arrive shortly.

Jerrold is panicking he is very confused.

(V.O) JERROLD DAWSON


This was a new law which came about as soon
as Memory Bank began. It stated, any crime
committed on a memory would be enough evidence
to charge the person. This created a back log
of cases as everyone who even committed a minor offence was
arrested. So, it started only
notifying when you had a committed a serious offence. This
would happen when the memory was opened by the purchaser, as
the company never
looked into your memories themselves.

Jerrold walks to the phone the company are still on the line.

Cut to

INT: Kitchen EVENING

JERROLD DAWSON
So, are they my memories?

MEMORY BANK
Yes, it says he(re)…

Jerrold ends the call.

Cut to

INT Hall: P.C HOPPS and Police Officer 1 knock on the door, Jerrold
answers and they put cuffs on him.

P.C HOPPS
I am arresting you for a murder which has
come from your memory 544668903g. Under
Memory Bank Act 2006 you will be charged in due course…

INT, cell EVENING: Jerrold looks lost, he can’t come with terms with
what is happening. A police officer is stat at a table with Jerrold the
other side.

P.C HOPPS
…Do you understand

BETTY walks in

BETTY
Hi, sorry I’ve just arrived I got your call
Jerrold. Hi officer I’m Jerrold’s lawyer.

Betty moves her hand over his shoulder, and stands behind Jerrold

JERROLD DAWSON
How are the kids?

BETTY
They’re good, they really want to beat you at
the board game next time they see you.

Jerrold smiles

BETTY
Anyway, let’s get on, sorry (leaning forward with an outreached hand) I
didn’t catch your name officer?

10
The RedRobin Project
11

P.C HOPPS
It’s P.C Hopps

He shakes her hand.

BETTY
Right P.C Hopps where did we get to?

P.C HOPPS
Betty, I just asked Jerrold if he understands
why he is here.

BETTY
Right ok. I think my client understands
quite alright what is about to happen to him,
more than you think, as he did work in the government.

P.C HOPPS
I don’t need to know that, plus I couldn’t care less. We need
to find out what he remembers,
Jerrold (leaning forward) what do you remember?

Jerrold tilts his head up slowly staring at him.

BETTY
As you can see my client is in shock at the
moment. He is clearly trying to work out when
this was himself and what has happened. I suggest that you let
my client out on bail, to come to
terms with this and figure it out for himself. I also know
that you still have a big back log of cases to do with Memory
Bank, and my client is clearly not a risk to the public.

P.C HOPPS
Ok fine you’re right, we do have a back log and
need to find space for everyone, I’ll grant you
bail for 1 month. At that time, we will come to
your house again to arrest you. We would normally give you a
tag to wear to know where you are, but
we don’t have enough so remain at your house. Do
you understand?

Jerrold stares at him

11
The RedRobin Project
12

JERROLD DAWSON
I understand perfectly P.C Hoops

P.C HOPPS
Excellent, Jerrold Dawson

BETTY
Do you mind if I have a word with my client,
please?

P.C Hopps gets up and leaves the room.

BETTY
I’ve known you for years Jerrold and I know
you would never do anything like this, is there anything you
remember?

JERROLD DAWSON
No, nothing at all Betty. (softly)

BETTY
Do you think this has anything to do with
RedRobin, I know it didn’t end well?

JERROLD DAWSON
I don’t think so, I’ll have a look into
Memory Bank and see if I can find anything
out.

BETTY
Why don’t you ask Teddy to get you what you
need, he’s always happy to help?

JERROLD DAWSON
Good point, I’ll ask him.

JERROLD DAWSON (V.O)


Betty had a good point about Teddy, she had
always been very helpful. I trusted her and
she trusted me, I babysat her kids sometimes
when she was away with the husband, and she
even invited me to the family events too. I
worked on a couple of cases with her as she
was the government lawyer. She knew I couldn’t
hurt anyone, that’s why I had a desk and didn’t
work out in the field.

Cut to

EXT, raining, outside house EVENING: Jerrold walks to the


front door opens it and walks into the house and closes the door.

Cut to

INT, kitchen: Jerrold is talking to his friend (TEDDY) who works in the
government.

JERROLD DAWSON
Teddy, you’re still working for the government
as an investigator, right?

TEDDY
Yeah, Why?

JERROLD DAWSON
Great, don’t ask about why yet I’ll tell you
over a drink later, but I need you to look into Memory Bank,
it’s very important, I need you to
find everything you can on them. Who they work
with, investors, heads of operation, finances,
do they deal with any other companies. You got
that?

TEDDY
Yeah, got it. Is everything all right Jerrold?

JERROLD DAWSON
Look just do this and I’ll tell you later.

Jerrold hangs up the phone.

INT lounge EVENNG: He sits down on the sofa and starts looking online at
memory bank on the table.

Fade to black

INT, Kitchen EVENING: Suddenly the phones rings, the person ringing is
Teddy. Jerrold answers the phone.

TEDDY
I have what you asked for, let’s meet at the Old Lion.

JERROLD DAWSON
No, I don’t want to go there, let’s go to the
tunnel just out of town. You know the one.

TEDDY
Yeah why there? It’s a dump, nobody goes there anymore.

JERROLD DAWSON
Exactly.

Cut to
INT, Tunnel EVENING: Jerrold Dawson walks into the tunnel with an advert
of Memory Bank playing on one side. Jerrold sees a figure at the end
which is Teddy. He walks towards him.

TEDDY
Jerrold Dawson, it’s been so long and this
is where you thought we should meet?

JERROLD DAWSON
Yeah, for good reasons.

TEDDY
And what reason is that?

JERROLD DAWSON
Because I believe that I’ve been framed by
memory bank for a murder, but I don’t know
why.

TEDDY
Wow I didn’t expect that. I kinda always
knew something was wrong with them that’s
why I never got the implant. I warned you
about them.

14
The RedRobin Project
15

JERROLD DAWSON
Yeah, I know that now.

TEDDY
Well, I did a lot of digging and I hope this
helps.

Teddy hands him a briefcase.

JERROLD DAWSON
Thanks. I do hope you’ve found something that
will help me.

TEDDY
Well, you can tell me all about it another day.

JERROLD DAWSON
Yeah, we’ll go to The Old Lion.

Jerrold walks back down the tunnel leaving Teddy standing there.

Fades out

INT, kitchen EVENING: Jerrold is looking at all the information he got


from Teddy (which is on the wall as a hologram) he looks at it
intensely. He then spots something, a name in a document signed by
someone named Jack Johnson. Jerrold goes to the phone and calls Teddy.

JERROLD DAWSON
Teddy, do you remember Jack Johnson?

TEDDY
Yeah, he was part of our department back in the
day. He then went to work with you on some secret projects.

JERROLD DAWSON
(Mumbles) RedRobin

TEDDY
What?

JERROLD DAWSON
Nothing, is he still alive?

TEDDY
Who Jack?

15
The RedRobin Project
16
JERROLD DAWSON
Yeah. Do you know where he is I need to speak
to him?

TEDDY
Ooooh, I’m sorry I thought you knew he’s dead,
he was found in the river a month ago.

Jerrold is taken back he doesn’t know what to think. He doesn’t know his
next move.

JERROLD DAWSON
Was it an accident?

TEDDY
No, it seems to have been a suicide, but if
you ask me the whole case seemed a bit sketchy,
the officers cut a lot of corners. Jack didn’t
seem the kind of person to commit suicide.

JERROLD DAWSON
Interesting.

JERROLD DAWSON (V.O)


The thing about Jack was that he was like a
machine he didn’t feel anything, so for him to commit suicide
is weird. Jack worked with me on
some projects, but I forgot he worked with me
on RedRobin the project that killed loads of
people. Luckily for me I had all the documents
as I was the anonymous person tipping everyone
off about it.

Jerrold hangs up the phone and rushes to his record player.

Cut to

INT Lounge EVENING: He looks for a record flicking through each one
until he finds the one. It’s a single by Prince called Batdance which
has the Batman logo on it.

JERROLD DAWSON
(whispers) RedRobin

16
The RedRobin Project
17

He places it on the record player. He turns it to 45 puts the needle on.


Pictures and documents fly by on the clear lid of the record player, he
slows it down to 33 still watching the images flicker. He stops it, the
images stop, there’s a document for the RedRobin project, Jerrold zooms
in to the bottom of the document using the middle of the record. There
is a signature by Jack Johnson, he zooms in closer, in small print there
is a signature from the CEO of Memory Bank with the Memory Bank logo.
Jerrold’s eyes widen

JERROLD DAWSON (V.O)


What I realised was that Memory Bank somehow
have knowledge, most likely from Jack, who knew
I kept documents of all my projects incase
anything went wrong. Because I bought my memory bank, the
company must of put in the murder so
I would go to prison. Meaning that they wouldn’t
go to jail like the other three people so far
have done.

Fade in

INT, Kitchen EVENING: Jerrold is calling Teddy, he gets through to the


answering machine.

ANSWERING MACHINE
I’m sorry you’ve reached the answering machine
of Teddy. Who won’t allow you to record a message
at this time, please try again.

Jerrold tries again, it starts ringing when there is a knock at the door
and a rattle of the letter box, a circular disc is dropped through.

Cut to

INT hall EVENING: Jerrold picks it up, feeling confused he walks into
the lounge.

Cut to

17
The RedRobin Project
18

INT Lounge EVENING: He places the disc on the table a video pops up of
Teddy in the bottom with the murder video happening above.

TEDDY
When I realised Memory Bank was setting you
up for a murder, I decided to do some more
digging and looked at your memory 5446 something. Don’t ask
how I got it but when I was looking
at the memory, I saw that there was a CCTV camera
in the corner. I managed to find it and the feed from the day
and what I found is interesting.
There was nothing there, you didn’t show and
neither did the woman. I’ve looked through the
whole day and other nights, there is nothing absolutely
nothing. Memory Bank have definitely
set you up.

There’s a knock at the door, Jerrold walks towards it slowly realising


everything.

Cut to

INT Hall EVEING: Jerrold opens the door two hooded figures are standing
there, as soon as they realise its open they rush in. Jerrold realises
and rushes towards the kitchen.

INT Kitchen EVEING: Jerrold runs into the kitchen, the kitchen door
opens to show another hooded guy, Jerrold stops suddenly and is then
taken down by the other two. Hooded figure 1 walks towards him and takes
out a device to shine a light in his ear. Jerrold is trying to get them
off wigging moving his legs up and down.

JERROLD DAWSON
AAAAHHHHH

Jerrold then stops moving and is still, the hooded man turns the light
off.

INT Jail EVENING: Jerrold looks like he doesn’t know what is happening
he looks confused, sitting in his jail cell paralyzed.

JERROLD DAWSON (V.O)


They had taken everything they
Cut to
(INT kitchen flashback EVENING: The men destroying the files and burning
the house down, and Jerrold hitting his head)
destroyed all my files and burnt down my house blaming me
being paralyzed to me hitting my
head on the table when I fell over.
Cut to
(INT Jail EVENING:)
When in fact me being paralyzed was down to the light being
shown through my ear. which meant
I went to jail for my crime.

Cut to

Text: One-week later


INT Jail EVENING: Jerrold is watching tv. It’s showing Memory Bank has
collapsed and the CEO Henrick Smith has been arrested.

NEWS REPORTER
In a sudden end to the RedRobin project the journalists and
police were given all the
documents about the project, and files on the company Memory
Bank. The news team here can now reveal the person who leaked
the information is Jerrold Dawson. (a picture of him is shown)
He
was recently arrested for a murder which is now
believed to be a fake memory. The memory was
planted by Memory Bank so that their name would never come
into this. Well now it has, showing Memory Bank was a key
investor in the project RedRobin.
This has meant that the CEO Helen Smith, has
been arrested and is awaiting conviction,
meaning the company has folded and will now
cease to exist. There has been no comment from
the company or the CEO at this time. (
News reporters voice fading into the background.) There are
set to be more arrests as police look thoroughly at all the
documents.

The RedRobin Project

JERROLD DAWSON (V.O)


What memory bank didn’t account for was me making several
copies. Which would get sent out to the police and journalists
after a week if I didn’t
open the documents. This was the end of RedRobin
and for those involved, after a proper
investigation I was later released on a wrong conviction.

Jerrold gives a little smirk on his face.

It has the old bars from when it was a bank so is perfect for a jail scene. As it will look the part with
the bars and a white dirty brick wall so will looks like it’s an old jail and not `a new one fitting in
with the idea of being dystopian.

No windows so will only be the lights from Turn the lights off if can or tape some black
the ceiling, which is in the celling, so is very card/cloth over them to give it a bit of tint
well lit. and make it less bright if needed, if too dark
use lights.

None in the area other sockets about Charge batteries before and bring spares,
bring an extension cable if needed, might be
able to charge batteries if they do die.
Hazards Solutions:
Uneven ground, carpet might be up, antiques There won’t be much walking around so
everywhere, small space, Filming equipment shouldn’t be a problem, but if do just mindful
of the cramped space and don’t walk to fast
and be mindful of the ground. The antiques
will be moved out of the way by the owners
so won’t be a problem.

Sound Solutions
People walking around and chatting. Shop will be closed so wont have any of that
only the owners so will have to ask them to

For the house it needs to look quite modern and the house is that, it also has a tv which is big
enough to show a news report to represent how big this story is and how big RedRobin really plays
in the film. The lounge also has a record player with records below to works well with him looking
through all the records until he finds the correct one. The hall works well as it’s a little narrow. Plus
the lounge can be filmed like night during the day because of the blinds which shut out the day
light completely.

furniture is so no one bumps or hurts
themselves. Make sure the rug isn’t turned up
and the filming equipment and cables are tied
up and not in the way of the actors. Move the
rabbit somewhere else so it is not in shot and
doesn’t run around everywhere or biting
cables.
Sound Solutions:
Cars, builders, other people in house Shouldn’t hear the cars as they will be going
slow as it is a building site might hear
builders however there isn’t much digging to
do so shouldn’t be a problem. If it is, film
another day if too noisy. Use a mic so you
pick up les background noise.

Hazards Solutions:
Potholes, uneven ground, cars, puddles, Make sure no one runs as they could trip in a
Filming equipment pothole make sure everyone is aware of the
pot holes, rain could obscure the pothole or
uneven ground so be more aware, if it
becomes to wet it may be too dangerous to
film. As it is a road be aware of cars and stop
filming if cars do come.

Sound Solutions:
Cars, birds, wind, trains overhead. The road is a close so there shouldn’t be too
many cars coming down, make sure you film
when there’s no trains coming over so check
train timetables and fit in within that.

Great for the out of town disused part of town where no one goes, has houses on one side which
won’t be in shot but on the other side it has a farm and has long grass with farm equipment
outside. The bridge has a clean wall for the advert of memory bank to go where it could be under
the brick that sticks out so has a clean advertisement end.

other lights to brigten the background so
there are no shadows.

Works as a house for Teddy, there is no background noise really as it is a close where nobody goes
out. So will be perfect for recording his phone calls, it will also be good for the recording of his face
especially at night time it will seem dark and you won’t see anything, either having a white
background or having trees in the background at night, making the whole thing more creepy.

Lighting Information: Solutions:


A window for natural lighting and a light Close curtains if needed, and turn light off if
above needed. Use a camera mounted light to act as
a screen.

Power Information Solutions:


Sockets Can use if needed, but charge batteries
beforehand and spares

Hazards Solutions:
Uneven carpet, wires if used, furniture Be careful of furniture and tie wires together
in bright tape so it’s easier to see.

Sound Solutions
Cars, other people, TV, phones Turn off phones so they don’t go off or re do
the shoot after answered, cars shouldn’t be a

It has a flat desk that can be moved infront of the window so look sand works well so looks like a
CEO desk at home. The window doesn’t work well but the blinds look posh and with them kind of
closed a bit of light can come through, also foreshadowing that the company don’t always show
everything. Sometimes only a bit is shown through/out.

Clearances
Walked into Castle Antiques and they confirmed the date and time, and they gave me their
own telephone number.

Contingency plan
If my batteries die I will bring spares so that they can be used. I will make sure all my
batteries are charged the night before and I will bring the battery charges if there is a
socket at the location so I can charge the dead battery just incase my back up battery dies.
If I have a location that is outside and rains when I don’t want it to I will reschedule a date
when it isn’t so that it works, if it carries on raining I will change my location to inside or
under a canopy outside and not show the rain. So, the shot will work, I can then colour
correct it editing to make it brighter if needed.

54
The RedRobin Project
55
I will wright a list of my equipment and follow my plan so I know what I need that day and
tick it off when I have got it so I won’t forget anything. If I do forget something all the
locations are not that far away from my house the farthest is 20 minutes away so can go
back and get it. The main locations are nearer so will be much easier to get if forgotten.
However, if this is unable to happen then I will reshoot the location on another day.
I will bring spare SD cards so that if one becomes full then I will use another one that I
brought so I can continue. If all my backups do become full then I will go to the shops and
buy another couple, but I will look at how much room my SD cards have a couple of days
before, so I know if I need to buy another one or not.
If my actors can’t come to a location, I will put in another date so this can happen. My
actors are very flexible and have said yes to all dates I have given if they are unable to do it
anymore, I will swap the roles so that they don’t have a big role anymore but a smaller role.

If I can’t find a briefcase, then I will use a newspaper with the circular disc inside. If my
actors don’t want to get wet, then I will use an umbrella for them.

Confirmation emails

Everyone else I spoke to or phoned up and confirmed the dates and they booked it
in their diary.

Name: Henryk Walczak

Who they play: Jerrold Dawson

When needed: 3 – 5 April

Costume:

Jeans x2, tops/jumper x3, overcoat, orange jumpsuit

Link to audition: https://youtu.be/Y1CCsKHiMRo


Audition notes:

He played the first scene at the door well, he opened it like he should stood there and wondered what the
hologram was doing, he looked at the disc for a bit wondering what it is. (I did tell him to do this but have decided
it doesn’t work as everyone uses it so it’s just like a parcel you just take it and close it) He did the other scene at
the table alright I might have confused him a little bit as there is nothing there so I’ll work on that. But overall, he
suited the character, he looked the age, looks like he’s seen a lot.

Audition notes:

We did the scene of the tunnel as that is the scene where you see his face so I wanted to see his facial expression.
He played him well he was happy to see him when he first saw him as it has been ages, and then seemed more
interested when Jerrold mentions Memory Bank, he doesn’t look that old but looks like he’s near the end of
working.

Audition notes:

Angela brought the reality to the character she made it more real with her voice going up and down to emphasise
certain words, making it more interesting and will hopefully entice the viewers more. She even flew her arms
towards Jerrold as if he was there, making it more believable.

Name: Nick Johnson

Who they play: P.C Hopps

When needed: 4- 5 April

Costume: shirt, overcoat, tie, trousers

Link to audition:

Audition notes:

He played him well I got him to repeat two lines as one he just read off the script so wanted him to go up and
down a bit more and another one he miss read it. His voice is very rough which is what I want for the officer as he
has been through a lot and wants to quit soon so isn’t that into policing as he was. Overall, he just needs to read
the script a bit more so that he understands it. But he works as the officer well, with. His voice and the way he
looks.
