PAINT

PAINT
By Gerald Martin Davenport

GENRE: Action, Family
LOGLINE:

A quiet twelve-year-old boy finds himself in a paintball rivalry against a cocky, twenty-year-old prodigy. What begins as a battle for victory ends as a lesson in humility, friendships, and the power of forgiveness. Through every splatter of paint, the two learn that, it is not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game.

SYNOPSIS:

Aria is used to being the quiet, smart one — a bookworm who would rather lose himself in a novel, calculus problem, or physics theories than play any type of sport. But when his older brother, Trevor, convinces him to join his paintball team just to sit on the bench so they can join a tournament, after someone gets injured, Aria finds himself on the front lines of a fierce competition. Knowing little about paintball, Aria is way out of place and out of his league among the older, more experienced competitive players. The opposing team, led by Roscoe, a talented but arrogant 19-year-old, does not take Aria seriously.

The classroom training Aria received, eventually clicks in the field, and he outsmarts and defeats Roscoe in a thrilling one-on-one match. Roscoe, humiliated, isolates himself from everyone until an opportunity arises for a rematch.

Roscoe’s arrogance and toxic behavior spirals out of control alienating his siblings, as they realize that his need to win is poisoning his relationships. Aria stays true to his kind nature, even offering a handshake after the intense rematch competition teaching everyone the importance of humility, friendships, and the power of forgiveness. The two young men, once rivals, begin to see each other in a new light, forming an unlikely bond that helps Roscoe find his way back to the people who care about him.
