Lionel (Jeff Daniels) is a 60-year-old working at a Blockbuster. Even though he's a smart man, he's had demons which stopped him from going anywhere in life. Even though he had never touched a child, he had been attracted to kids for his entire life. Throughout his life he has attempted to form relationships with grown women and men, but to no avail. He's also tormented with the thought that his perverse desire will send him to hell and that it makes him a terrible person. Over the years he's developed a drinking problem, and a drug problem, but gotten over both. Now, he finds himself in a tiny apartment in NYC, working with Jenny (Ellen Page) and Marcus (Kevin Corrigan). Jenny, who has a thing for older guys, is attracted to Lionel, but he's more interested her little sister who often visits the store. Marcus is Lionel's only real friend, and in the film reveals that he too is attracted to kids. The main difference? Marcus can't contain himself. Lionel puts so much trust into and believes that if Marcus can resist his urges, so can he. However, at the end, Marcus has been missing for weeks. And in the final scene, Lionel flips on the TV to see Marcus on 'To Catch a Predator'. Lionel's only hope has been destroyed. Beyond that, the film mainly follows the life of Lionel, showing how tortured a man who is withheld from his desires can be. Lionel is a complete victim of himself.

A docudrama in the vein of "Fast Food Nation" that focuses on the unsavory aspects of the 24-hour roadside stops that commuters take for granted. From drug deals to filthy anonymous sex acts in the bathrooms, there is a seedy underside to each fleeting oasis along the mundane stretches of the Pennsylvania turnpike. The workers are often undereducated heathens who turn to anything to escape the inevitable boredom and futility of their jobs as the evening becomes another sullen morning. This will show the depraved side of humanity that exists in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night.

Six vampires (four guys, two girls) lure six twenty-somethings (four girls, two guys) away from a rave to an old boarding house, unaware that a poltergeist haunts the house. The vamps partner up with their respective prey, but once the first bite is taken, all outside doors and windows shut and lock themselves. The first not-quite-accident happens very quickly after this, killing one of the vamps, but the next one kills a human, letting both sides know that the poltergeist doesn't care: it'll kill everyone. The humans have to decide if the vamps can be trusted while processing the fact they even exist; the vamps are just trying to survive long enough to get a bite to eat.

- The same girl is a courier in a futuristic high-sky scraper city. After she receives a mysterious package she starts seeing things, including copies of herself...
- The same girl is seen tinkering with a computer. Turns out she's working on a Virtual Reality project, where you're dreams become lucid...
- The same girl wakes up in an asylum...
Four storylines, four characters? I've been toying with this idea for ages: four seperate storylines, but each where you can't completely trust whether or not "the girl" is seeing the reality. Are all realities real? Are there multiple dimensions? Or is one of these girls the "real" girl and the rest just by-products of her imagination...
Also, the notebook talks. It would be voiced by Harrison Ford or Danny DeVito. Decisions.
