Finalized idea

 I have very exciting news, and it is that we finally finalized the idea for our short film. 

The story follows a protagonist by the name of Tom, who has a hatred for the typical, social rule of shaking people's hands at his office. He decides to take a stand against this, and begins to awkwardly wave his hand or do weird gestures when his coworkers attempt to shake his hand. As time goes on, his refusal to shake people's hand becomes a topic of conversation in the office, and people get increasingly uncomfortable with his awkward high fives or quick blurt outs like "Sorry I need to pee". Soon, everyone in the office is treating him weirdly and offering him bizarre gestures, like elbowing him or pointing and winking. Tom gets called into the office by his boss, where he is worried he will finally be confronted for his weird behavior.  

This story follows our initial idea of following an "unspoken rule" in society, and we decided this would be the best way to portray it. Although it seems like a silly idea without much of a message, the overarching theme is breaking the small, unspoken rules of society and the effects it can have.
