Film Treatment - 'Mind Clock'

Annie Moore is a 17 year old London student. With her exams coming up, Annie is feeling the pressure, and an internal clock starts ticking in her brain. Annie conjures up the idea that she has to complete daily tasks, such as walking to school, in a certain number of minutes. If she doesn’t complete these in the time her brain has set, a chain of bad events will begin to happen to people around her. In reality, these ‘bad events’ happening are usual daily tragedies which Annie thinks are down to her losing track of time. As Annie’s time keeping gets worse and the chain of bad events get more life threatening, she confides in her family and teachers, who blame this ‘internal clock’ on the stress of the upcoming exams, leaving Annie isolated and alone with this clock still ticking. As one bad event takes a turn for the worse, it enables Annie to work out the conspiracy as to why these clocks are only ticking in her mind - is this just her fantasy, or is she the only one in reality?


Possible Titles:

We came up with a few title ideas for this treatment, however all decided on 'Mind Clock' as we felt it was the best fit and the simplicity of it is quite intriguing.
