Squawkbox

Idea: A series of soundproof rooms (called "squawkboxes") along the walls of a movie theater in which small groups of people can talk to each other and use their cell phones while watching the movie. Also: themed squawkboxes such as "hotel room squawkboxes" and "parental lounge squawkboxes" and "singles bar squawkboxes", types of movies that would be best for squawkboxes

Serialized Horror Podcast

Idea: A serialized horror podcast set in a dystopian future where a group of people who are forced to spend their entire lives in a giant haunted skyscraper talk amongst each other and try to figure out what's happening. Also: unraveling a mystery, spooky sound effects, not knowing what's going on in the outside world

Social Role App

Idea: A social media app to share nearby people's "roles" in your life with them, as if life was a movie, such as "clumsy waiter", "creepy security guard", or "hot girl who lives on my floor". Also: gamifying casual relationships, a passive form of dominance, a "tag cloud" of your most common roles/attributes, finding out how people perceive you and then figuring out how to change yourself to improve people's perceptions and/or expectations of you

Animation Studio Sitcom

Idea: A smart, topical, and meta sitcom about workers at an animation studio who never get to finish their movie because real world news keeps necessitating plot changes. Also: not knowing the plot of the movie you're animating, releasing the movie that the animators are creating in the sitcom as an actual movie, manipulating world events to match the movie you're working on
