Script Proposal

Clan (Working Title)

An innocent schoolgirl who gets ruthlessly bullied
joins the Yakuza to find purpose, only for it to
destroy her.

• Hayano, a sixteen year old girl gets bullied by her parents
and classmates to the point of attempted suicide.

• After failing and running away, she gets recruited to the
Yakuza.

• She becomes a hollow killer and fights her mentor, killing
him and then dying.

• The purpose of the script is to entertain but also to send a message.
The message I want to share is to show that mental health should
be taking seriously and that if it isn’t, the person suffering could go
down a dark, horrible path.

Genre: Thriller, Action, USP: Not many Japanese films
Drama, Phycological have mainstream releases outside
of japan and not many films cover
Themes: Family, mental the life of a Yakuza member which
health, giving up isn’t good but Japanese films that
do release here do well

• Your Name (Kimi No Na Wa),
a Japanese film released in
the UK:

• Box office in the UK:
£353,680

• Box office worldwide:
£271,251,427

how the Yakuza operate and Evangelion and my film will
what they do behind the deal with the main
shadows
character’s mental health

• Fukazawa Hayano, sixteen, protagonist/antihero,

she does because it makes her feel like she is doing
something worthwhile and people praise her for
what she does.

• Yamamoto Akiyoshi, twenty five, protagonist, lost
everything when he was a kid and then the Yakuza saved
