Stare Synopsis (SPOILERS)

'Stare' is a psychological thriller about a young man who’s life unravels on a downward spiral after he sees something that no one else can. The protagonist of the film, Tyler lives a normal life. He has a good job and lives with his girlfriend, Sara. In his spare time he regularly hangs out with his best friend, Darren, who he has known since school. His life starts to deteriorate once he begins to see what he thinks is a man dressed in suit but his face is never clear. He continuously sees this “man” throughout his day and the week.  He doesn't believe himself at first and thinks that it’s just his mind playing tricks on him, but then this “man” keeps appearing to him, not saying a word to Tyler just standing and staring at him. He can no longer be sure of his sanity and starts to go mad. Gradually things start to get worse; events keep going wrong throughout his day and his week, he starts going into work late and his work is slacking. His boss ends up firing him after Tyler starts harassing workmates about seeing this strange man. The more he sees the man, the clearer he becomes, Tyler then realises that the man is in fact wearing a sheep mask. Tyler's girlfriend or his best friend don’t believe him, the two people he trusts more than anyone else in the world. They haven’t seen this man and tells Tyler he is being stupid.  He feels that both Sara and Darren are turning against him.When Tyler has no one to turn to and nowhere to go he ends up at a bar, drinking by himself. A stranger is next to him staring at him. Tyler asks the man what is he looking at and the stranger replies with “You. Why are you wearing a sheep mask?”



I did have a different ending in the original synopsis, and may film both of them when I start shooting, and decide on final ending when editing. 

Other ending:

When Tyler loses his job. feels abandoned by both his girlfriend and his best friend, he feels he is at the lowest point of his life and can no longer sees the "man" even when he is standing right in front of Tyler. A stranger walks past and it is him who can now see him.
