Treatment: The Epic Saga of the Downloading and Installing of Adobe Flash CS4 and the Woman Who Attempted to Do It.

The idea I have for a film is a woman trying to install Flash CS4. She will find it can't install on one computer that lacks the juice to run it, she will try another computer where the download can't start and on the third it finally works. Thing is, downloading and installing Flash on a shaky connection can take hours. The story will be told through POV shots and cut away shots indicating the passage of time and showing how she is attempting to spend it. (For example: time passes and she's playing a DS, time passes and she's watching TV, time passes and she's sleeping at the desk.) While working on the second computer she gets fed up and walks out the door, down the street, buys a coffee, and comes back. This story is based on actual events.

    As you shoot/edit this, you may want to trim down the action so that it's a concise piece.
