Amsterdam Comedy Short Film Script Prompt

Write a complete shooting script for a 3-minute comedy short film set in Amsterdam, built around three real internet meme characters and faithful to their established meme lore. The script must be shot-ready: every beat needs a scene heading, action described visually, and dialogue where it happens. Total runtime must land at roughly 3 minutes, so keep the beat count tight and the dialogue lean. The three characters and their lore Bad Luck Brian (protagonist). Reference image Bad Luck Brian.png is attached. Visual continuity is mandatory: red-and-black plaid sweater vest over a light blue polo, short side-swept blonde hair, metal braces visible when he smiles. His entire lore is that everything he attempts backfires catastrophically and immediately. Every escape attempt in this script must fail in a way that is his own fault, and he should keep smiling that awkward hopeful school-portrait smile right before each disaster. Overly Attached Girlfriend (Laina). Her lore is relentless, unblinking, wide-eyed romantic obsession delivered with total sincerity and a fixed smile. She never runs out of breath, never seems rushed, and keeps appearing wherever Brian goes as if she already knew he would be there. Alien Guy (Giorgio-style "Aliens" ancient-astronaut character). His lore is that he explains everything through aliens, with absolute unshakable conviction, wild hair, and expansive hand gestures. He alone believes Laina is an alien because he watched her ship land in a tulip field. He is trying to help Brian, and Brian keeps not listening. Story beats to dramatize, in this order Brian on vacation in Amsterdam, realizing Laina is hunting him, and trying to slip away. Alien Guy intercepts him and urgently explains that Laina is an alien, that he saw her land in a tulip field, and that Brian must follow him to her spaceship. Brian does not follow. A chase through Amsterdam streets and canals. Brian keeps making his situation worse. On a bridge, Brian runs into the blonde woman from Judith.png (long blonde hair, black off-shoulder top, shorts, posed on the railing of a dark metal bridge over a canal, white boat with several casual men in sunglasses passing directly below). He startles her, and Brian himself falls into the canal. The men in the boat find it hilarious and help her down or out while Brian flails. Final scene on a busy Amsterdam street. Laina finds him and says, exactly: "Found you, my love! I'm never letting you go!" Camera rises to reveal a flying saucer descending slowly over the city. Hard cut to a close-up of Alien Guy, cheering ecstatically: "I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!" THE END. Both quoted lines must appear verbatim. Craft requirements Play it as deadpan, escalating slapstick, not parody-with-a-wink. The comedy comes from timing and from each character being 100 percent committed to their own logic. Use recognizable Amsterdam geography as an active obstacle course: narrow canal streets, cyclists, bridges, tram tracks, flower markets, tourist crowds, tulip fields on the outskirts. Write the bad luck as physical, specific, visually funny events, not as generic mishaps. Each one should be a gag a viewer could describe afterward. Include brief camera and sound notes only where they carry the joke or the reveal, in particular the final rising camera move to the saucer and the cut to Alien Guy. Keep the visual language grounded and handheld-documentary in feel, so the absurdity lands against a real-looking Amsterdam rather than a glossy one. Keep dialogue minimal outside the Alien Guy monologue and the two verbatim lines. Brian barely speaks. Deliver the finished script only.
