Synopsis:

We would like to welcome you to The Golden Ticket Inc, a dark and mysterious place responsible for designing the illustrious 5 golden tickets. The company is run by a former recipient of a winning gold ticket, Mr. Ostrum. Michael Themmen, a mid shift security guard, is the most disturbed employee at the Golden Ticket. Lately he has been experiencing extreme sleep deprivation and schizophrenia.
Michael witnessed his father’s gruesome death when he was only 7 years old causing him to grow up alone and socially inept. His best friends growing up were in his head and appeared to him on the screens of televisions. His friends have always been nice and comforting, but when a new employee Julie starts to work at the Golden Ticket, the voices of his friends begin to grow darker. His increased sleep deprivation becomes worse evolving into daytime hallucinations.

At The Golden Ticket someone has breached security and stole important documents pertaining to the secret design of the golden tickets. Michael now faced with the ever growing dark voices, the possibility of a relationship with a real person, and the theft on his shift, beginning to culminate. He starts to see the world in a very obscure way, questioning his own judgment at work and spending most of his non work hours in his basement at home where he mysteriously finds a connection with the new employee Julie that leads him down a twisted and bizarre road to find solitude from his voices.

Yea, in reply to the comment made by moviehead. Our invitation to be in the competition came late and close to the deadline. The video pitch is meant to be quirky and not the norm like the film itself, while at the same time deliver more of an interview type pitch with one of the writers interviewing the other as he explains more in depth about the film.

By the way the interviewer and the interviewee are the same person. With one writer being in Europe and the other in Seattle there were technical video transfer errors that prevented using the actual video footage of Rossella Dark being interviewed so at the last few minutes on the last day of submissions the pitch was filmed and edited together to make the deadline.

I would like to thank everyone for their comments and am very excited to see the results.

I personally watched and voted on every film as if I was not in the competition myself.

The premise might be interesting but the trailer didnt do it for me. The interviewer is moving around to much as an interviewer and the looks like he has to go to the bathroom. The creepy shadow dude is hard to understand. Dont really know where you going with the plot but will it be interesting for 2 hours?

Souds like a creapy-freaky-bizarre kinda script. A new even crazier Willy Wonka? Am looking forward to seeing this movie in theaters. And by the way - where in Dallas is this location???

Dark, mysterious and twisted. The creepy silhouette dude is a memorable choice and I love WTF 13. WTF indeed. You've deftly embraced the bizarre. Good luck!
