I’m happy with everyone’s ideas on this image, an image I wasn’t sure would work, but really liked.

1 word: discovery

Two cousins at a family are about to discover what’s down the river early one morning.

Two cousins who lead very different and quietly competetive lives, meet at an annual family reunion. They grew up the best of friends, but drifted apart as both had different interests and goals in life. Both are in their mid-twenties, with the youngest (by a year or so) being the more aggressive, and seemingly the most successful. The elder is more passive, and content with life.

As kids, they always wondered what was beyond the river, and what was on the other side. Years later, they embark on a river ride to discovery and soul searching, as they talk about each other’s lives, pasts, secrets and pains which sparks emotions between the two as they go further into unknown territory.

Topic: Resolution

Middle-aged man comes back to the small New England town where grew up, visiting his ailing father on his waterfront home.

It’s an awkward visit. The son and father never really got along. We see flashbacks, where the father was an absusive domineering S.O.B. Which is why the son eventually left in the first place.

But now the Dad is dying, and the once powerful man is weak and feeble. He’s trying to gain peace with his son, who wants nothing to do with him.

Something terrible happened 30 years ago, which changed the son’s life, which he’ll never forgive his father for.

Will the Father and Son make peace? Or will the father die, before the two resolve their differences? What happened 30 years ago….?
