Someone asked us if we had any ideas for school/public shooting movies (the title, the plot, the characters, etc.). We thought this up to possibly raise awareness.

Now that this is out of the way:
Title:
M.I.T. (Not written in stone, but it’s a challenge to this and other schools like it. They have the tech and the money to design such a system and the anti-gun lobby wont let them.)
Main Characters:
Travis Vincent, an average red haired do-gooder. Not the smartest in his class. His parents weren’t well connected. His grades were good, but not great. The first son and only son to an Irish protestant father (hard working flat bed truck driver) and his mom, a Scottish farm girl from a dirt poor family, who home schools in collaboration with a very eclectic group of kind and generous friends.
Amber Whitmore, a very pretty, selfish, uncaring, disinterested bored, young genius, who is trying hard not to be the best at everything. Middle daughter in a family of 9, she has a father who is a prominent businessman, never home; a mother who is always involved in everything but her family.
Clay Truant, a turbulent young delinquent, who is in trouble all the time. An authentic socio-path who loves to manipulate people into emulating his own self-destructive proclivities.
Jean-Claude Mercia’, an extremely good looking, wingman Clay continuously uses to get things he wants.
Dr. Jonathan Karron (pr. karen) Fighting to save his last name from social media, John is the school board president from rural South Dakota. (Jokes a plenty. John is a good sport about it.)
Brice Quarterman - The WEF money man and string puller. The brain behind the anti-gun lobby. He’s the man behind the scenes, trying to turn the conversation back to gun bans.
Clint Azurdress - The Politician teaming up with Quarterman, to stop Amber and Travis at all costs.
Megan Curtzey - The M.I.T. grad student jealous of Amber, who tries to steal Travis and mix it up with Brice, to worm her way into the intrigue of spoiling her rival’s success.
Casting Note: RACE is NOT what we are talking about in this film. Violence is what we are talking about. IF any of the cast happens to be of a certain ethnicity, we wont care. Can they act and do they believe in the project. That’s all that matters.
Plot
Travis is working hard to get accepted into M.I.T. His grades barely make the minimum GPA requirement. His supporters barely make the alumni requirement. He writes an entrance essay and it impresses one of the entrance examination board members at the prestigious college. He gets in.
Amber, who can’t stand Travis (literally because he is unaffected by her), hears that he’s applied to M.I.T. and out of boredom, more-so as a joke, also applies to M.I.T.. Amber is accepted because she made a perfect score on all her standardized tests and her four word entrance essay started an argument with the computer science and math chairs.
Travis and Amber meet up during freshman week, and Amber mocks Travis for having to work so hard. During the course of their first semester, Travis does his best to ignore Amber. Amber continues to be very annoyed by this. Travis doesn’t care. Engineering is a hard field. Amber chose atomic physics and she studies now and then. Travis has average grades. Amber is headed for the dean’s list.
One day, Travis is walking to a class, through the parking lot across from his dorm when he sees Clay stuffing something into a large duffle bag, . Thinking it odd that Clay would be on campus. Travis follows Clay, who is completely oblivious to him. Clay disappears. Travis is troubled.
Travis talks to his room-mate about what he saw, and his room-mate responds by mockingly exaggerating his paranoia. Not wanting to stand out, Tavis forgets he ever said anything.
Amber learns of Travis’ suspicion, and decides to prank Travis by dressing up in all camo and with a paint ball gun, enters his room, with the help of his room mate, and ambushes Travis when he returns from class. Everyone has a good laugh. Travis is angry.
Through a series of happenstances, Clay and Jean-Claude, are seen by Travis over the course of the next few weeks. Travis tries to get more people aware, but fails.
Then, on Columbus Day, Clay and Jean-Claude bring a boom-box into the main cafeteria, set it down on their table and play “Welcome to the Jungle” very very loud. When someone confronts them, they reach down into their duffle bag and both pull out weapons and open fire. The death toll is horrific.
During the mayhem, Travis instinctually pulls Amber down to the floor, just in time, saving her life. However, Amber is shot. Travis survives, but his room-mate is dead.
Then the journey begins as Amber and Travis combine their unique attributes to come up with a smart-building technology that makes schools safe. They don’t go for a political solution, but a technology solution. Defeating arguments like arming teachers, outlawing guns, and hiring school resource officers.
As they prove their design works on YouTube, it goes viral and government/industry actors try to dismiss their idea as stupid internet antics. They want guns banned, not a technology that solves the problem of mass shootings.
With Amber’s smarts and Travis’ imagination, the students at MIT pit themselves against against a skeptical faculty, an evil Megan, and support the two’s solution. They build a mockup of a school in Amber’s parent’s field. Local people donate lumber, and local first responders start to gather up the needed plans for the “test”.
On the day of the test. The local paint ball club provides the “bad guys” for the exercise, and the test begins. After getting defeated by the technology. The paint ball guys are impressed. Then, Clint shows up, uninvited, onto the set. They challenge Amber and Travis by introducing them to a group of five Navy SEALS, who are arguably upset about being ordered to be there.
When the SEALs attack the school, they are also defeated by the smart building technology.
Seeing all the hype, a rural school board president wants the system installed in his school system. But the school board votes down the money. Presenting their data to the internet, they promise to make the technology open source if the people give them the money for the school. Keeping their promise, Amber and Travis make the technology open source and post the complete plans online.
The school board president, Dr. Karron, gets some parents together and they build the system in their high school.
Clay and Jean-Claude, still at large are found and contacted by key players in the anti-gun movement. Mr. Tull and Mr. Kull are the point people behind an effort to kill or convert Clay and Jean-Claude in order to manipulate them into attacking the fortified school.
Rather than dying or going to prison, Clay and Jean-Claude agree to hit the protected school, while being formally trained to defeat it.
Anticipating that bad actors would learn from the open source, the parents and school board members work with Amber and Travis to make each system unique and not exactly as the plans suggest.
When Clay and Jean-Claude publish a YouTube video (which is quickly taken down), saying they will hit the school, further controversy ensues. Parents refuse to let their children go to the school. School board members attempt to fire Dr. Karron and take out the system, but fail due to a few parents who finally understand the need for the technology.
In the end, some brave parents say they will not be intimidated by these thugs, promising whoever these killers are, they will be defeated, because this system is that good.
—AT this point in the movie, the audience still does not see completely how the system works. Just like a monster, lurking in the background, slowly the audience is allowed to see more and more of it’s genius.—
On a day when 12 students decide to return to school with their parents permission, in defiance. A brave teaching staff emerges to join them and stand up to the threat. Months go by and everyone thinks the threat was empty. At month 3, all the students are back at school. Bad actors lull their sense of fear.
Just before school breaks for the summer, the smart building technology catches a strange car enter the school parking lot, just after the 2nd bell. Two young males step out of the car with large military style rifles and black jumpsuits on. They are wearing bullet proof vests, ballistic goggles, and are carrying lots of ammunition.
What plays out is the technology designed by the students and built by the local engineers, begins to thwart the two active shooters, Clay and Jean-Claude. In spite of the fact that the system is operated by an underdog semi-retired security officer, caught sleeping when the threat actors arrive.
Travis and Amber are eating at a coffee shop arguing about the cop who quit as the system controller. Get an alert on their phone that the school went into silent lock down. As Amber and Travis race to the scene, the fight between the security officer and the two threat actors plays out.
Slowly, the smart building technology is applied to the threat. Initially defeating some of the standard measures, the security guard gets his act together and the audience begins to see and appreciate the full potential.
In the end, Clay and Jean-Claude are both captured alive without harming anyone. But before they are able to tell their story, their handlers have them killed.
Amber and Travis finally are a couple and while impoverished by the time and money they spent, they are happy. Amber is much more “chill”, loves Travis more than ever and Travis is blown away at how lucky he is just to be with someone like Amber.
The closing shot is a news cast telling the audience that a mysterious donor gave the project the remaining money it needed to secure every public and private school in the country and with it’s success, it will begin to be offered to other countries to help combat violence where-ever it decides to rear it’s head.
The close of the movie leaves the results of the story telling in the hands of the audience. Are they going to see the movie, again and again, until the proceeds pile up and We the People can protect all of our schools, like we should have 20 years ago.
It’s the first movie in US History with a call to action, solving the problem it profiles. The movie tells the real life story before it happens. Everything is already in place to make a difference. Now it’s up to you.
