P1. Story Pitch


Film Idea based on a short opening

In a world where 1/20th of the population has supernatural abilities a young boy is finally old enough to go to a school dedicated to teaching youth how to use and control their abilities. Only students with the most powerful gifts get accepted, so although Jay’s step mother pressurised him into applying and it’s located far away on an isolated island, he accepts the offer.
Once he arrives, everything seems to be going perfectly, he's made friends who can relate to him, and the lessons are exiting and productive. The school is huge, and takes up almost the entire island, although the boy has only explored a fraction of it.
Once settled in, Jay makes a friend with a similar power to his, although this girl is far more experienced  then him. Sarah agrees to teach him what she knows outside of lesson hours.
Questions start to arise, when his roommate doesn't turn up to lesson one evening, and never returns back to the dorm. He doesn't think into it,assuming he dropped out of college, but when more students disappear including Sarah,  he begins to get suspicious.   
The boy decides not to turn up to lesson one evening, and instead decides to go snooping around the college grounds, entering the restricted half. The truth is revealed to Jay, when he discovers the students are being experimented on underneath the college grounds, and the school is just the waiting room.
Jay rushes back to the dorms, quietly gathering a group of students who combine their powers to save their friends and diverse an escape plan.
