Urban Night Golf

For Documentary i have to write a treatment. I'm quite entertained by my subject and personally the story is amazingly flawless thus so far. Mostly because it is featuring real people who I konw who have real problems. And it has real locations, real situitions that could happen, and real consequences.

In short the documentary is about a group of urban golfers who set out to raise awareness of the sport Urban Night Golf. They go across western united states and canada and stop off at 7 or 8 key locations. I've managed to get up to Las vegas, we have denver, minneapolis and toronto to go. At this point in my story we have had a shitload of trouble, but we have gained publicity. In denver things go great, everything is awesome. Citizens actually enjoy seeing us, cops don't mind and we get to legally finish our hole off in the six flags course. But oh shit, minneapolis is hell for everyone. Things go wrong left and right. We end up loosing our funding for a month, and our driver gets sick from eating take out. But we manage to find a way to our climax, in toronto we propose the idea of a competition for the city. We get massive support from people all over, especially in the places we visited. One of the biggest stops was vegas, where we met former PGA golfers and introduced thme tot he sport and thye enjoyed it. In toronto we get rejected at first, but we give up those golfers a call, also make some more calls to a bunch of people mentioned through out. Then we plan our own public course, police are overwhelmed and allow it once they see over 300 golfers show up for the event. The event is a success, Urban golf is mentioned on ESPN. And The main characters go back home, to enjoy a brew and shoot some holes on there first course. The main chacaracter proposes doing it again, the world is filled with places to do it, and only canada has an established competition.

But anyways, it has an ensemble cast, all with believable archs. It also features a variety of different challenges, ranging from laziness, to financial issues, to criminal charges, to addiction, to vehicular malfunctions. All of which belate the 4 month road trip.

I'm not going to finish it right away, I plan to milk it tommorow in documentary and see the response of it.
