Malcolm a Mockumentary

1. MALCOLM
THE MODERN DAY CYCLOPES
(MOCKUMENTARY)

2. WHO IS MALCOLM?
• Born: April 16, 1988 Amanda,
Ohio
• Currently lives in Detroit,
Michigan
• Former Coast Guard
• Avid believer in the right to
bare arms

3. WHY MALCOLM?
• Although Malcolm fights for his and
others rights to bare arms; he supports
gun control 100%.
• “I love gun control man. You see it only
creates a demand for my supply. When
everything goes to s**t I will be the one
who gives this country the means to
fight back.” -Malcolm

4. MALCOLM IS A SMALL TIME ILLEGAL ARMS
DEALER.

5. WHY MALCOLM CONTINUED…
• Malcolm is the one who comes to us.
• Malcolm who although sells to
convicted criminals, truly believes that
he is doing good in this world.
• “When I give a weapon to the enemy, he
turns around and kills my other enemy.
Its called population control. They are
just killing themselves man.” -Malcolm

6. CONFLICT
• Conflict will be between Malcolm and the law.
• On more than one occasion within the film
Malcolm will find himself being hunted down
or (presumably) followed by agents.
• Malcolm over the course of the film becomes
more and more uneasy and short tempered.
• Malcolm still believes that what he is doing is
for the betterment of society.
• All of this puts the film crew in dangerous
situations.

7. CONFLICT CONTINUED…
• But conflict will also be present with the film crew.
• The crew filming Malcolm struggles to cope with the morality of
following around a criminal who is in some ways responsible for the
gun crimes in the city.
• Tension between the director and camera man will be seen in the film.
• Although Malcolm believes in what he is doing the crew does not.

8. WHO WILL SPEAK?
• Malcolm is the only subject in this film, and most interviews will be will Malcolm.
• The only other interviewees will be with Timothy Tresnak.
• Timothy Tresnak is a close friend with Malcolm who supports and encourages
Malcolm during all of his dealings.
• But Timothy still has a few opinions about Malcolm that he is willing to share with
the director.
• The other interview will be with the director within the mockumentary (towards the
end of the film) who will speak about his experiences with Malcolm and what he has
learned.

9. VISUALS
• The film will ultimately show who
Malcolm is by following him during his
dealings and exchanges.
• We will also get a good look at who
Malcolm is outside of work by following
him during his day to day life.
• The film will show what type of people
deal in weapons, and hopefully try to
understand who they are as a human
being.

10. VISUALS
• The film overall would not involve the director speaking until towards the
end of the film. The director in most parts will be seen but not heard.
• The main focus is Malcolm and what he has to say about everything.
• We want to know who Malcolm really is.
• The film will be handheld, and the interviews will feel mostly spontaneous
and raw.
• The editing style will be traditional but done in chapters such as Tarantino
or Wes Anderson. Each chapter will show progression in Malcolm’s dealings
all leading up a big deal that will bring in more money to build his business.

11. WHAT IS THE MOCKUMENTARY SAYING?
• The audience gets a look in depth at the
other end of the crime spectrum.
• The men and/or women who give
criminals the means and tools to carry
out certain crimes.
• Also for outsiders to the criminal world
it will show them what it is like to be a
criminal.

12. THE AUDIENCE
• Even though this is a mockumentary I
want the audience to understand that
these types of things exist in the world.
• I want the audience to be apart of the
film crew, I want them to understand
what they are going through.
• Ultimately figure out whether what the
film crew is doing is right or wrong.

13. PRODUCTION
• Only a small crew is needed on set. 5 People max (not including
cast).
• This will be shot as if it were a real documentary.
• Film will be shot with a Canon 5D edited with Adobe Premiere
Pro.
• Budget will be $10,000 for cast and crew payments, costumes,
and weapon props. Camera and software already paid for.

14. CONCLUSION
• I want people to overall enjoy this mockumentary.
• It will tackle serious issues such as morality and justice, while also having some fun
with talking about morality and justice.
• People will find out who Malcolm is and what he is doing for America.
Thank You.
