Elaborate stories with multiple characters are really difficult to execute. But "more" doesn't always mean "better". Sometimes it's the "little" that counts.
Below you have three TROPFEST shorts. Each of them may serve as an illustration of what "little" you may employ to arrive at a very satisfying result.
1. HIGH CONCEPT (or changing ONE rule in the exisiting universe)
An Imaginary Life (concept: "imaginary friends are real")
2. SINGLE CHARACTER
The Story of Bubble Boy (focus on one character only, quirks, full character arc)
3. PLANTING & PAY-OFFS (implementing a twist into a very simple story)
The Lighter (single character, single location, simple action + a twist)
