The Pitch - Discovered

The Pitch
Discovered

A girl blindly follows the man of her dreams to a realm she doesn't understand, but when he isn't there, she learns what she truly wants.

My protagonist is KIRA
Age: 18-21
Around average height
Very inquisitive, outgoing, chatty but often quite mature for her age
Tight trousers and flowy tops, likes her leather jacket
Works the bar at a club on the edge of town

My second character is AARON
Age: 23-25
Bordering six foot
Most people would think he's a little creepy, but Kira finds him charming. Uses slightly whimsical language
Pale white shirt, dark blue tie, black trousers

The main location is a forest/woodland area

Chronologically. my script will start two thirds of the way through the story, so I will the events in chronological order here. For two and a half months, Kira has been visiting the same cafe three days a week just to have a drink with Aaron. In this last meeting, however, he tells her the one thing she has dreaded the most; that he is leaving. When he leaves, she notices that there is something written on her napkin - a series of simple instructions on how to find him. In her blind obsession, she asks one of the waitresses who he is, but the waitress claims that no men work at the cafe. Seven weeks later, as described in the instructions, she leaves to go and find him. Kira finds her way into his world, but he is nowhere in sight. Unable to get back to her world, she seeks shelter in his. After two days sleeping rough in a forest, he discovers her. After a lengthy argument and a slightly less heated discussion, he tells her how she can get home. just as dawn breaks, she leaves. When he wakes up, he runs to catch up with her, but she has already gone, and broken the portal. He never has the chance to tell her he loves her.

My Genre is Drama, as although if this were  longer film, it could easily be a thriller, for the purposes of a short film, I feel the story would be too busy.
