Dean and I spoke today. We had a real quick brainstorm session together. We plan to stay with the kidnapped idea but we took away the tied up part about it.
So here is our idea
we have our male character (julian) He wakes up in a forest in distress
then we have our female character (Emma) she is introduced right after Julian wakes up and she is being chased by some mysterious guy.
After both characters are introduced then we will have both the characters yelling out for each other.
Julian appears to be so hurt he can't even move from where he is so Emma just ends up leaving him.
I'm pretty happy that we got this idea down because i have a perfect spot to film this. The location is secluded dirt road with nice forestry vibes to it.
