Help Us Choose the Movie Title for Our Steemit Feature Film.
See the logline for the film and the choices for the Movie Title below.
Here is the logline for the film:
“Abandoned at birth, a troubled young man who dreams of being a rock star is befriended by a stranger, who keeps secret from the boy, he’s gay, dying, and his bio-logical father”
Keep in mind, you have the benefit of reading the logline. However, the public does not. The public usually only sees the title, a tagline, the poster and the trailer beforehand. We will be involving you in the selection those as well as we move forward.
However, we need the title to build around. The title has to get the film-goers attention, enough to draw them in and to buy a movie ticket.
So. here are your choices.
- “Stokers’ Furnace”
- “For the Love of Pete”
- “My Beautiful Rock Star”
- None of the above
- Your original suggestion - if selected you will receive the credit in the film..
Please, state your preference in the reply to this post.
"Better left unsaid"
that is good actually. someone copyright that before hollywood snags it.
It is good, but not sure it works. The lead character is so racked with guilt and shame he seeks to make restitution but for the wrong reason. Not for the boy but to clear his own conscience. Therefore, a voice in his head saying 'Better Left Unsaid"' would give him a way to clear his conscience without doing anything.
Better left unsung?
Now that's a great little twist. This has possibilities given the music connection which makes it more personal to the lead as opposed to 'Better Left Unsaid' which is too generic. I could see this being position as follows... in spite of his conscience telling him it's 'better left unsung' he musters the courage to act in spite of it. Need to think about this one long and hard. Good on you!
That is solid!

Better Left Unsaid is golden, you got my upvote on that ingenious title, fits it nicely
It's a great title but probably not for this movie. Unfortunately, a voice in the lead's head saying 'Better Left Unsaid"' would give him a way to clear his conscience without doing anything.
Now that you mentioned that your lead is thinking very wisely in that concept of thought. Does kind of leave it open to suggest an out from dealing with the situations in a manner to do nothing at all. Lays the title out there too much to say, no story or dynamics coming at ya lol. Like the title though, maybe for another piece of work more fitting. Smart lead you got there, thinking it through
Thanks and take care.
THis is the best one IMO
As I said above, it's a great title but probably not for this movie. Unfortunately, a voice in the lead's head saying 'Better Left Unsaid"' would give him a way to clear his conscience without doing anything.
Good point
This! I would be so intrigued if I heard that title.

There are a few I like, this ranks up with them.

Interesting. Not sure it works though. The lead character is so racked with guilt and shame he seeks to make restitution but for the wrong reason. Not for the boy but to clear his conscience.
Or simply just "Pete", one name is usually easily remembered. And people are going to be curious what the movie is all about, I agree with @meesterboom, too, enigmatic like "Jones".
I considered 'Pete'. I went as far to think of stylizing it in 'baby' related font and/or background. But just couldn't make it work. I'll think about it some more, but my feeling is in this context it's hard to convey the essence of the film throw the one word without an action.
Understandable, how about Pete and _______ (name of the stranger), like "Thelma & Louise" or "Harold and Maude"? I like the story already. Best of Luck! 😊
"Underground"
It's a good title but given all the underworld stuff going on in film today, I'm not sure it would deliver on the story.
O.k., here's my suggestion: "Cradled by a Rock"
That's interesting actually. Can you expand your thinking for me?
I THOUGHT THAT THE HIDDEN FATHER AND THE MUSIC DREAM AND THE MUSIC STYLE ITSELF, BEING ROCK IN THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION, ACTED AS A ROCK IN HIS LIFE AND, FURTHERMORE, ACTED AS A REAL CRADLE ALLOWING HIM TO REBIRTH NO MATTER WHAT THE SITUATIONS IN HIS LIFE BROUGHT FORTH. THIS WAY, THE CRADLING OF THE DIFFERENT ROCKS IN HIS LIFE GAVE HIM THE OPPORTUNITY TO REDEFINE HIS PERSON AND, ULTIMATELY, HAVE A DIFFERENT OUTLOOK ON WHO HE IS.
THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THESE THOUGHTS.
NAMASTE :)
That works. Music is the rock and unknowingly the tie that binds the stranger and the boy together. In the story though, which I know you don't have the benefit of, it's not enough. The boy needs a Dad but he feels he's broken goods and not worthy. Good stuff.
No child is broken enough not to be one's cold anymore. Therefore, the cradle and the rock seem quite appropriate as well... Joy! Thanks for the kind words.
Namaste :)
Good point.
"It's All a Fucking Joke"
I'm sorry you feel that way.
But that's life really
I guess it depends on your perspective and what you mean by 'joke'. Yes, we know where we're going to end up so one might say anything you do until then is for not. But I think it would be an awfully boring wait if we didn't try to spice it up a bit. Futile or not, it's amazing the joy you can find in the simplest of things if you're look for it. Just a thought.
well, a joke entails for one to be funny and laid back. This is what I meant. It can be taken any way you want really.
I think I get it now. Thanks.
This is headed in the right direction!
Thanks. And it's fun too! Ha!
Keep crushing it by bringing the movie people in :)

The Long Road Home.
Wow! This has legs! Lots of metaphors here. Especially good since the lead character, once he decides to try to make things better, travels back to Hamilton (The Hammer. Steel Town) full of doubt on his Harley at night. Good one. I'll keep you posted.
Thanks Brian. “Stokers’ Furnace” would be my second choice. Best of luck on the film.
Thanks. Take care.
my suggestion tittle "i upvoted for you if you follow me " lol
Ha! I guess there's some truth in that, but not for the movie!
nice....you deserve resteem and upvote...
