POLLING PLACE
When a bitter family feud escalates, a rebellious tech exec and his girlfriend head to a remote firehouse during a blizzard to defiantly vote against his father's mayoral bid, only to be trapped by a masked axe-wielding killer.
Brett Clancy, a high-ranking executive in the Big Tech industry, is preparing to attend his family's Election Day reunion dinner in his conservative hometown. With him is his activist girlfriend Tracy, who shares Brett's liberal views and is eager to make a good impression on his red state kin. However, as soon as they arrive, tensions flare up between Brett and his father Ned, who is running for mayor of the small town. The old wounds between them are reopened, and Brett becomes more determined than ever to vote against his father's candidacy.
But when they arrive at the polling place, a remote firehouse, they encounter a masked figure wielding an axe. Panic sets in as they realize that they are trapped in the building with a potentially politically motivated predator. As the killer closes in on them, Brett must team up with his estranged uncle Walt, a poll worker, to escape the clutches of the madman.

“Concept - 5/5, Theme – 5/5, Overall - 4.5 out of 5; Overall I really love this script and think it’s very well done. You’ve done a fantastic job setting up a small-town political story that aptly reflects and represents the state of culture and politics in present-day America. I think a small-town mayoral race is such a smart way to make commentary about the chasms between the right and left; the depths of voter intimidation and suppression; and the political divide that has separated townsfolk and families.
