Delivery

Been getting a few new ideas lately. Got this one today, I'm not sure if it can work very well as a film but I'm going to give it a shot with this blog post.

Jeremy is a 29 year old courier. He has a 14 year old daughter he had when he was a teenager and a wife that cheats on him. He lives on a ranch that is a 2 hour drive from where he normally lives(downtown) because it's cheaper and the safest place to raise his kid. For his work he drives a 1992 civic si with some slight modifications. He's worked as a courier since he was 18 with the same exact car. And the car is reaching it's ends. He takes it to the shop and the costs outweigh the price of the car to sell. So he ignores the repairs and ends up paying for it, the civic starts on fire in the middle of the street after he rear ended a porsche. The porsche starts on fire as well and the driver sues him for it.

After dealing with a court case and hiring a lawyer Jeremy returns to his home and his wife files for divorce and demands custody of their child. Jeremy didn't see this coming and discusses his entire situation with two of his courier friends, one drives a truck and one rides a bike. The cyclist suggests moving into the city and riding a bike from a to b, the van driver tells him to apply for his class 1 and become a truck driver. For the time being, Jeremy stays with his cyclist friend in his hipster den with his 3 hipster roomates. Hesitant to cope with the bicycle Jeremy takes the week off to get his kid back and figure out a new living situation. Unfortunately, his now ex wife is already dating a super rich guy who lives downtown and she gave him a high priced lawyer, while Jeremy uses his defence attorney from his car accident case. Obviously, his wife gets custody and Jeremy only gets to see her for the weekend. After that Jeremy goes to find a place to live with an extra room while having it close to the downtown area so he can continue work on a bicycle. But then jeremy confronts his cyclist friend that he cannot ride a bike, and some lulz happen when the cyclist teaches jeremy how to ride a bike. After getting the hang of it Jeremy starts to do deliveries and finds out that he cannot rent a house in his price range so he ends up living with a bunch of mexicans in the exact same building as his ex wife's boyfriend. His ex wife still stays at the house with the kid. After awhile Jeremy starts to realize he will never be in good amount of shape to cut it as a bike courier, so he decides to use his last remaining savings to get a class 1 license. Through a miraculous feat Jeremy gets a drunk recently divorced instructor for his test. Hilarity ensues and Jeremy passes his test. Jeremy hangs out with his daughter for the first time since the split. They discuss his antics and her antics and generally have a heart to heart and she tries to convince Jeremy to go in a different direction other then courier services, since they are making his life incredibly difficult. On his first shift as a truck driver Jeremy has to go through a dangerous mountain path and ends up rolling the truck into a ravine in a hilarious fashion. Obviously Jeremy loses his job and goes back to the courier service, he earned enough from his one shift as a truck driver to get a newish car for his old job. He ends up with what looks like an awesome sports car, but it ends up starting on fire during a test drive and the dealership tries to sue Jeremy but Jeremy wins the case, but loses his license and ends up kicked out of the Mexican apartment.

Jeremy ends up back at the cyclists house and stays the night. The next day Jeremy goes and blames his civic for letting him down. Jeremy finally gets frustrated and unleashes his fury on the vehicle. It then occurs to him that he should finally do what he loves and go to school to become a transportational engineer to make sure his problems are never met with other drivers ever again. He goes for the interview and goes through all of his issues with the transportation system and how he would change them. He gets accepted and goes for a night out with all of his buddies, he admits that it was foolish not to move on from the courier path he chose several years ago, and he gets his an agreeance with his lawyer to get his licence back, but he opts to bike instead. In the closing shot he bikes along with his daughter, although he's slow as shit and nearly dieing from exhaustion.

The end is a bit weak... But I'll further realize this as time goes by.
