T-206 FINAL PROJECT

Presents:

BLEU 23

T-206 Final Project by:

Lindsey Turner, Sarah Himschoot, Rebecca Pesavento

We first all agreed on a topic and a plot. We all are interested in music so

that gave us use idea to use for the story. We also wanted an inspiring

story full of determination. We decided to design a story that had to do

with the struggles and hardships of a young man and how he had to

overcome many obstacles to get to the top. We came up with an

appropriate setting which ended up being Florida. We picked a lower

class part of Orlando to demonstrate a better idea of our lost and troubled

main character. Instead of starting the story at the beginning of the main

character’s hardships we created flashbacks of certain tragic events in

the character’s life, we did this because we wanted to make the story a

little more unique. The flashback events we built are unexpected and

random which we wanted to achieve.

The characters we created were somewhat motivated by some

characteristics of some people each of us know in real life. The mood of

the story we were looking changed throughout the story. The story went

from a discouraged, troubled and depressed mood and progressed into a

determined, exciting and hopeful mood. We came up Bleu 23 Studios by

combining a name of a studio we have heard of, Blue Crew Studios and

our favorite number, 23. We wanted our group name to be simple but

creative so we used the first initial in each of our last names Turner,

Himschoot and Pesavento to get T.H.P. but we wanted it to stand for

something else. We came up with True Hope Productions with tied into the

theme of our story which is why we went with a star for our logo.

Research

Treatment: Bleu 23

Scene 1

We hear music in the background of a rap mix. We see Eric, Dank, Todd

and Crockett are shown Bleu 23 recording studio in Orlando, FL,

passing around a blunt. The four friends smoke and joke with each

other. We then see famous rapper T-PAIN and a couple of his managers

walk into the studio. The guys are so confused and shocked that T-Pain

is standing in front of them. T-Pain explains that he heard the guys‟

mix tape and would like them to perform a few songs for him and so he

could possibly sign them. They ask T-Pain if they can have a minute

alone to discuss things. We see T-pain leave the room.

Scene 2

We see the guys turn to each other in amazement. Nervous and but

excited they talking and discussing the opportunity. Dank is feeling

discouraged about the whole situation. We see Eric pull him aside and

talk to Dank to motivate him. We see Dank walk back to the other three

men and continue talking. We see Eric walk in the other room and sit

down. He takes out his wallet from his back pocket and pulls out and

unfolds a worn picture of his best friend Frank. Eric sighs as he has

a flashback four years earlier at a high school house party.

Scene 3

We see Eric chugging a beer. We hear people in the background yelling

and chanting loudly. We see Eric‟s best friend Frank walk over to him

and comment on how drunk Eric is. We see Eric push his way through all

the partiers and walk out the door. We hear and see Frank from the

side of the house yell to Eric, but Eric ignores him and keeps walking

to his truck. We see Eric speed off down the road swerving in and out

of the lanes. Eric turns on his road and a thick fog sets in. We then

hear tires screech and a loud crash. Eric‟s truck hits three mailboxes

and flips down the road then stops upside-down. We then see Eric‟s

hand move as he manages to get himself out of the truck unharmed.

Scene 4

We hear ambulance and police sirens in the distance getting closer.

They pull up to the accident of Eric‟s truck. We see the neighbors

outside and Eric‟s mom rush to the scene. She starts to cry and makes

sure Eric is okay. We see the EMTs take Eric in the ambulance to make

sure he is okay.

Scene 5

We see Eric and his mom walk in the door of their house. Eric‟s dad is

sitting on the couch drunk. Eric and him begin to argue about the

accident. We see Eric slam the door of the house and walk outside to

his garage. He turns on his stereo and starts to write in his

notebook. We then hear a voice over of Dank yelling Eric‟s name. The

flashback gets interrupted and transitions into Scene 6.

Scene 6

We are brought back to the present where we see the men trying to get

Eric‟s attention. Eric quickly puts the picture away and joins his

friends in the other room. They all agree to perform for T-Pain. T-

Pain comes back in the recording studio. We see the men prepare the

equipment and sound booth to start recording. We see Eric sit down as

he has a flashback of another tragic incident that occurred a couple

years back.

Scene 7

We see Eric, Frank and a couple others doing serious drugs and

drinking in a living room. Things go too far as we see Frank pick up

his friend‟s gun and joke around with it. Not knowing there is bullet

lodged in the gun Frank continues to joke, we see him point the gun at

his head and pull the trigger. We hear a loud boom and the flashback

transitions into scene 8 back in the studio.

Scene 8

We see Eric jump from his seat as he snaps back to reality. We see

Crockett getting ready to record for T-Pain. We hear him start to rap

then slowly fade out and we see Eric again as he continues the

flashback of Frank.

Scene 9

We see Frank lying on the floor with blood everywhere. Eric and the

others run over to their unconscious friend. Everything becomes

chaotic as the boys panic and struggle to stop the bleeding and wake

Frank up. They call 911 but it is too late, Frank dies before the

paramedics show up. We see Eric still holding on to Frank‟s head as he

starts to cry. We then hear a voice over of loud shouting and the

scene transitions into Scene 10 back to the studio.

Scene 10

We see Crockett in the booth finishing his song as Dank and Todd cheer

for him. We see Eric quickly wipe the tears from his eyes and walk

over to Crockett and the others. T-Pain tells them he wants to hear

Dank record a song. The men motivate Dank and we see him walk back to

the booth. We see Eric and Dank look at each other as Eric yet again

has another flashback of the long journey of hardships he has had

through life.

Scene 11

We are brought to Eric drinking a case of Keystone alone in his

garage, listening to music and writing thoughts in his notebook as he

grieves the death of Frank. Then we see several of the same

transitions of Eric drinking continuously in his garage representing

the Eric‟s everyday habits after he loses his best friend.

Scene 12

We are still in Eric‟s flashback but a couple months post Frank‟s

death. Eric is still drinking heavily. We see Eric leave a party after

finishing a handle of vodka to himself. He starts to walk home along

some railroad tracks. A slow moving train is keeping him from crossing

the tracks. We see Eric try to jump up on the train but fails and

slips under the train as the train runs over him. We see Eric lying in

the middle of the tracks lifeless. The scene transitions into Scene

14.

Scene 13

We see Eric lying in the hospital bed as his friends and family

patiently wait for him to wake up. Minutes later Eric wakes up scared

and confused. We see the doctor come in and whisper to Eric that they

had to amputate his leg. Eric is devastated and pretty much gives up

at this point.

Scene 14

(Still in flashback)Over the next six months Eric becomes depressed.

He doesn‟t talk to anyone. He doesn‟t do anything but sit in his

garage and listen to music and write in his notebook. But one day Eric

finds an old picture of Frank, which makes him realize he can‟t sit

there and be depressed anymore. He promises “Frank” he will change his

life and be somebody. So he decides to take his thoughts he has

written in his notebook and turn them into songs and record them.

Scene 15

We see Eric walk into a recording studio downtown called Bleu 23. He

meets the owner, Dank, and his two friends Todd and Crockett. They all

really like Eric and what he has to offer. They invite Eric to write

and record with them. The four men become very close for the next

couple years. We see Eric, Dank, Todd and Crockett sitting around

talking. The flashback is then interrupted by voice over of Todd and

Crockett shouting loudly.

Scene 16

We are brought back to the present in the studio. We see Dank in the

booth finishing his song as Todd and Crockett yell and run and jump on

him. Eric comes out of his deep memories and rushes over to his

friends. They all congratulate Dank. T-pain interrupts them and tells

them they are signed. The men celebrate. They are so excited to have

finally made it. We see Eric pull out his picture of Frank and wave it

in the air as he continues to celebrate. Eric is finally able to

fulfill his promise to Frank and make him proud.

1 INT. RECORDING STUDIO-NIGHT 1

Inside Bleu 23 Studios in Orlando, Florida around 8 PM sit

ERIC “ECKO” ECKBERG, DANK a.k.a. BLACK MAGIC, KEVIN

CROCKETT a.k.a. KING CROCKETT, and TODD SAWYER a.k.a.

SUPERIOR in the recording room. Eric is talking about a few

new beat ideas he has while the four pass around a blunt.

As Dank takes a hit of the blunt, he begins to cough

profusely. Eric and the other two friends start to laugh

and make fun of him.

ERIC

Look at you Dank all asthmatic acting all hard,

puttin on a front, oh yeah, I remember my first

blunt.

DANK

Ha Ecko that‟s ironic I remember when you fell to

the floor on your first hit of chronic. You

tryna rap, I just nod and walk around with a fake

smile. Please, Eminem, when you takin‟ your ass

back to 8 mile?

Smoke fills the air as all the guys burst into laughter. As

they approve each other‟s insults they are irrupted as

someone opens the studio door. Their heads turn and jaws

drop in shock of famous music artist T-PAIN that walks in.

CROCKETT

Oh shit!

(he covers his mouth with his fist)

DANK

No way!

(he looks around in amazement)

T-PAIN

Hey ya‟ll. Are you Bleu 23?

ERIC

Uh...ya..uh..yes sir. Are you really T-Pain?

(with a confused smile on his face)

DANK

Man what‟s wrong witchu?

(as he turns and hits Eric hat on his head)

T-PAIN

(chuckles)

Yeah man I really am T-Pain. Someone gave me this

mixtape of ya‟ll, it‟s pretty dope. I wanted to

meet the people behind the voices and give ya‟ll

a shot.

(he hands Eric the mixtape)

CROCKETT

(there is a long silence in the room)

You mean you wanna hear us flow?

T-PAIN

Yessir. I think you guys got something different

that a hell of a lotta people would like.

DANK

(another long pause)

Uhhh Mr. Pain, is it okay if me and my boys take

a minute alone to talk right quick?

T-PAIN

Sure, go ahead fellas.

2 INT. RECORDING STUDIO-NIGHT 2

T-Pain leaves the room. As soon as the door closes behind

him, the 4 mens‟ true emotions start to show.

TODD

Oh my God! Can you believe this?!

ERIC

First, T-Pain comes into our studio and if that

wasn‟t enough, he wants to hear us live and

possibly sign us? Ahhh shhiittt!

DANK

Listen guys, I don‟t know if I can do this. Does

he realize we‟ve had no time to practice? We

ain‟t ready...

CROCKETT

Hold up, guys. This is our one chance we have

been tryin‟ for a few years now, we ain‟t ever

gonna get this opportunity again.

ERIC

He‟s right man. We‟ve been through to much to

throw this away. It‟s like everything we‟ve done

up to this point will be a waste. We can‟t let

this shit get away.

The men nod in agreement but Dank‟s mind seems to be in a

different world.

ERIC

Ay-yo Dank! Come over here.

(Eric pulls Dank aside)

ERIC

Listen man, this is huge for all of us,

especially you and me. You can‟t trip up now and

let the pressure get to you. You‟re Black Magic,

you got this. Hey, just pretend like it‟s me and

you.

DANK

I know, you‟re right. I just can‟t believe it‟s

been so long and it‟s all finally happening.

Okay, we got this, man.

They do their “handshake” and Dank walks back over to the

other three to continue talking.

ERIC

Ay, I‟ll be over there in a minute.

(he yells over and walks in the other room)

Eric sits down and takes a deep breath. He pulls out and

unfolds a worn picture of Eric and his best friend, Frank.

Eric sighs as he has a flashback four years earlier at a

senior high school house party.

3 INT. HOUSE PARTY-NIGHT

Eric is drinking at a party with his friend, Frank and a

few other friends. Eric has been drinking heavily and a

crowd of people are chanting in the background while he

chugs a beer

CROWD

Chug, Chug, Chug, Chug, Chug!

FRANK

Dude,that was your 8th one!

ERIC

God, I‟m so messed up. I just wanna go home.

Eric pushes his way through the crowd of partiers to get to

the door and stumbles down the front porch steps, nearly

spilling his drink.

FRANK

Ecko, you leavin‟ already? The party is just

gettin‟ started. You lame man. Well peace hit me

up tomorrow.

(As he shouts from the side of the house)

Eric ignores what Frank has to say and continues walking to

his truck. He struggles to unlock the door but drops his

keys. He makes an effort to pick them back up; he stumbles

and nearly falls over. Eric catches his balance and finally

opens the door to his truck and gets inside. Several times

he attempts to put his keys in the ignition. He finally

starts his car and pulls out of the driveway, speeding away

down the road. Barely staying conscious he swerves in and

out of the lanes struggling to make his way home. In an

attempt to stay focused he turns on the radio so loud that

it shakes the truck. As he approaches the long country road

near his house, a thick fog sets in over the road.

The roaring engine of the car slowly fades in from the

distance. Eric‟s tires start to screech and he ends up

crashing into a row of mailboxes flipping three times.

Miraculously Eric emerges his way out of his truck barely

injured. Neighbors nearby rush to see what has happened.

4 EXT. SCENE OF ACCIDENT-LATE NIGHT/EARLY MORNING 4

The police and paramedics finally arrive at the scene.

They pick him up and sit him on a stretcher, while asking

Eric questions, but since Eric is completely out of it he

cannot answer any of the questions. The ambulance rushes

Eric to the hospital. ERIC‟S MOM rushes in crying and hugs

her son. The doctors run tests on Eric but he is fine just

a few scratches.

5 INT. ERIC‟S HOUSE- EARLY MORNING 5

Eric and his Mom return to their house. ERIC‟S DAD is

sitting on the couch drunk. As Eric walks through the

living room his dad makes a comment.

ERIC‟S DAD

So you like fuckin‟ up don‟t you son?

Eric ignores him and continues walking past him.

ERIC‟S DAD

(knocking over a lamp)

Fuckin‟ answer me when I‟m talking to you.

ERIC

What Dad? What the fuck do you want me to say?

(turning to his dad)

ERIC‟S DAD

Well ya know Eric maybe you should quit your

drinkin and wake the hell up, ya almost damn near

died. You want to keep this up go ahead, I

guarantee you will end up killin yourself. You

need to get your ass in check and quit fuckin‟

around.

ERIC

Ha okay! So when are you going to stop fuckin‟ up

dad? I get from you. Ya fuckin alcoholic!

Eric and his dad continue to argue more. Eric gets very

upset and walks out of the house slamming the back door. He

walks to his garage in a rage kicking over a chair. He

turns on his stereo as loud as he can and sits at his deck.

He opens his notebook and starts to write in anger. There

is a sudden voice over of Dank yelling Eric‟s name.

6 INT. STUDIO-NIGHT 6

DANK

Ay yo Eric!

Dank yells Eric‟s name and Eric‟s flashback gets

interrupted. Eric gets up from the couch and joins the

men.

ERIC

Alright guys, this is our chance and I know it‟s

a lot of pressure but really can‟t fuck this one

up. I know we‟re getting really excited right now

but we gotta stay calm and relax. Now are we

gonna do this or what?

Crockett looks up at Eric.

CROCKETT

Okay, I‟ll go in the booth if you want. I feel

pretty good about this and I don‟t think the

pressure will get to me. What song do y‟all think

I should do?

TODD

Do “Love and Truth”. The beat‟s tight and you

gotta show off those lyrics man.

DANK

Definitely spit that track.

TODD

Yeah, that‟s that I was thinking too. Let‟s go

set everything up.

ERIC

Let‟s do it boys!

Eric says to the other men while putting his arms around

their shoulders. T Pain walks back into the studio.

T PAIN

So are you guys ready to wow me?

DANK

Yeah, we‟re just gonna set a few things up real

quick and then Crockett‟s gonna spit in the

booth.

The men go over to the recording equipment and adjust

buttons and volume levels to ensure that the quality of the

music and Crockett‟s voice sound as good as possible. T

Pain is standing behind them, watching them as they

meticulously prepare and adjust each and every knob in the

studio. Eric is finished adjusting most of the knobs and

takes a seat on the couch. Suddenly, he has another

flashback.

7 INT. FRIEND‟S HOUSE-NIGHT 7

Eric, Frank, and a few other friends are sitting around a

table in their friend‟s living room. On the table is a

variety of hardcore drugs. Everyone in the room is high,

drunk, and having a good time until things get out of hand.

On the side table next to him, Frank picks up his

girlfriends pistol.

FRANK

Put your hands up motherfuckers!

Frank jokingly points the gun at each person in the room

while giggling. Everyone in the room laughs.

FRIEND 1

Ha-ha, come on, put it down man.

Frank plays with the gun a little more in his hands,

tossing it back and forth and then pointing it to his head

and still smiling.

FRANK

Dude, you know this shit ain‟t loaded!

Right after these words come out of his mouth, he pulls the

trigger. The sound of the gunshot echoes.

8 INT. STUDIO-NIGHT 8

Eric comes back to reality from his flashback. He watches

Crockett as he gets ready to perform in front of T Pain.

CROCKETT

Hey Dank! Can you fix the input a little? Thanks,

man.

Crockett puts on his headphones and music fills the studio.

CROCKETT

“This ain‟t the first time and won‟t be my last.

I know I see my future but I can‟t forget my

past. They tell me all the time that life, it

moves fast. But I keep lookin‟ through my

rearview just to get near you…”

Crockett continues to rap as Eric fades back into the

flashback.

9 INT. FRIEND‟S HOUSE- NIGHT 9

Frank is lying on the floor with a puddle of blood

surrounding him.

ERIC

Oh my God! Oh my God! Frank!

FRIEND 1

What the fuck?! Holy shit!

Eric and his friend quickly run over to Frank‟s side but

Frank is unresponsive.

ERIC

Wake up Frank! Wake up please! Call 911! Hurry!

Eric‟s friend frantically pulls out his cell phone and

dials 911 while his hands are shaking. One of his friends

takes Frank‟s pulse.

FRIEND 1

I‟m not getting anything! There‟s no pulse!

Frank is holding Frank‟s head in his hands and beings to

cry.

ERIC

You can‟t leave me like this, man!

Eric pulls Frank closer to him and begins to sob.

ERIC

Frank! Don‟t go!

10 INT. STUDIO- NIGHT 10

Eric is shaken out of his flashback by seeing that Crockett

is finishing his rap. Behind Crockett are Dank and Todd who

nod approvingly. Eric wipes the tears from his face, gets

up and walks over to the other men.

TODD

He killed it!

DANK

Damn, I didn‟t think he had it in him.

T-Pain comes over to the men.

T PAIN

Your boy Crockett‟s gotta sick flow. So Dank, you

rap too, right? You‟re on!

DANK

Uh, alright. I got it, I got it. I‟m straight.

Dank begins to walk towards the booth. As Dank is walking,

Eric and Dank quickly glance at each other and Eric is

brought back into another flashback.

11 INT. ERIC‟S GARAGE- NIGHT 11

Eric is alone in his garage, drinking a case of beer with

his music drowning out the outside world. He is focused

while writing lyrics in his notebook. We see several

different images of Eric as a progression of time. This

takes place over multiple days and weeks so there are

slight changes in lighting, his wardrobe, and overall

appearance. As he is writing, he gets increasingly

frustrated.

ERIC

Fuck!

Eric angrily throws his beer can across the garage.

12 EXT. NEIGHBORHOOD-NIGHT 12

A few months have passed his Frank‟s death and Eric‟s

drinking is getting worse and worse. Eric walks out of a

friend‟s 21st birthday party finishing a handle of vodka he

had been drinking on all night. He starts walking down the

dark lonely street toward some railroad tracks he stumbles

over his feet. There is a train moving slowly down the

tracks. Eric becomes impatient and wants to get across to

the other side to get home. He decides to try and jump on

the side of the train. He is so delirious and uncoordinated

that he loses his balance and slips off. His legs get

sucked under the train and starts to drag him down the

tracks. He is finally left lying in the middle of the

tracks lifeless. His body numb, Eric blacks out from shock.

13 INT. HOSPITAL ROOM-EARLY MORNING 13

Eric lies unconscious in the hospital bed. His family and

friends hopefully and nervously wait for him to wake up.

One of Eric‟s friends whispers to another friend.

ERIC‟S FRIEND

I can‟t believe we let him walk alone. What was

he thinking?

A little more time passes by and Eric‟s eyes begin to

slowly open. He looks around in confusion with a worried

look on his face. He notices that something that is not

right, he looks down toward the end of the bed at his leg

and starts to panic. He realizes that his leg from his knee

down is missing. In his own world of shock, Eric‟s friends

and family are relieved that he is finally awake.

ERIC‟S MOM

Oh thank God Eric. I thought you were gone for

good.

(grabbing his hand to hold)

ERIC‟S FRIEND

Man dude don‟t scare us like that ever again! You

are one crazy and lucky son of a bitch.

Eric still in shock, doesn‟t know what to say or think.

ERIC

What the fuck happened? What is going on?

(talking quickly and sweating)

Everyone looks around speechless. They don‟t know how to

explain the horrible incident to him. Then the DOCTOR walks

in cautiously over to Eric and whispers in his ear to break

the obvious news to him.

DOCTOR

(whispering)

I‟m sorry to tell you this son, but we had to

amputate your leg. The train crushed your leg so

hard that you lost all blood flow in your leg. We

are going to order you a top of the line

prosthetic though and you could be walking

hopefully in 6 months.

Eric looks at his doctor with disbelief. He is devastated.

He shuts his eyes as his head falls back on his pillow.

14 INT. ERIC‟S GARAGE- NIGHT 14

Elapsed time shows Eric spending the majority of his time

depressed and alone in the garage. His face becomes tired,

his hair becomes loner and he doesn‟t shave often.

ERIC

“I swear this life is sometimes way too much to

bear, that‟s why I go by five words „fuck it, I

don‟t care‟, people reach out their hands hopin‟

I take their help, but I‟ll just push „em away

cuz I don‟t need nobody but myself. All I need is

good weed, booze and some new beats. Hell is no

near to me, I can almost feel the heat‟.

Eric is writing and rapping to himself as he takes a hit of

a blunt. He begins to cough and drops his blunt to the

ground.

ERIC

Shit!

Eric is searching the ground for the lit blunt when his

hand comes across old photograph. He lifts up the picture

and stares at it for a while; it is of him and Frank

goofing off from a few years back. Tears well up in his

eyes as he realizes that Frank would never want Eric to

live his life this way.

15 EXT- STREETS OF ORLANDO INT- BLEU 23 STUDIO 15

Eric is walking down an Orlando street, with his headphones

blaring as he approaches the Bleu 23 Studio. He looks at

the Bleu 23 sign above him, takes a deep breath, and opens

the front door. Inside Crockett, Dank, and Todd are

relaxing and leisurely editing songs.

CROCKETT

Yeah, dude, that‟s a good idea. Add that piano

instrumental and slow it down in the second

verse.

DANK

Eric Eckberg, right? What‟s up, man? I‟m Dank and

this is Crockett and Todd.

The men shake hands.

TODD

What‟s goin on? We‟ve been looking forward to

meeting you. We really felt that email you sent

us of your work.

ERIC

Thanks. It‟s what I love and live to do.

DANK

Eric, you wanna come with me in the other room

and we can talk a lil bit?

ERIC

Yeah, sure.

DANK

Alright man, Follow me.

In the meantime, Crockett and Todd are talking about Eric‟s

overall musical talent.

CROCKETT

When I heard that beat with the violins and deep

bass, I knew I had to spit over that. It was like

Timbaland‟s beats but even more original.

TODD

I know! I don‟t know where he gets his ideas for

lyrics and beats. Did you read the lyrics for

love and truth? That was real deep.

The men continue to chat about Eric until Dank and Eric

come out of the other room laughing.

DANK

Fellas, I have an announcement to make. I would

like to officially welcome Eric Eckberg to Bleu

23.

The men all have smiles on their face as they congratulate

Eric and shake up with him. This is the day that turned

everything around.

16 INT. STUDIO-EVENING 16

It transitions back to Dank finishing up his song in the

recording booth. Crockett and Todd come into the scene to

congratulate him on his performance.

CROCKETT

Damn, Dank you really proved yourself in there!

TODD

I really think you sealed the deal.

DANK

Thanks guys. I hope so.

Eric joins the men and congratulates Dank on his

performance.

ERIC

Yeah man you went off on that second verse just

like we talked about. I‟m real proud of ya.

As the men are talking, T Pain enters the room and walks

towards them with a grin on his face. The men quickly quiet

down and give T Pain their undivided attention.

T PAIN

Alright guys, here‟s the deal. I think there‟s a

couple things you need to work on… but I‟d like

to sign you guys with me. Your beats are so fresh

and your lyrics are basically the perfect balance

between mainstream and underground which is

exactly what I‟m looking for. So what do ya say?

The men look at one another in disbelief and jump up and

down with excitement.

T PAIN

Um, I‟ll take that as a yes.

T Pain says while chuckling. Eric and Dank start to laugh

and embrace.

ERIC

We did it, man!

After Dank pulls away, Eric pulls the picture of him and

Frank out of his pocket, looks down at it, and can‟t help

but grin.
