Swingers Doc: Revised Treatment

Sorry for the delay everyone. Here it is:

K and O, a young, attractive, mixed-race couple, lie in bed together. They kiss. They touch. Their naked bodies roll around, wrapped up in sheets. They make love.
K and O are just like any other couple. They share an apartment. They cook meals together. They go to work. They come home. They talk together, laugh together, cry together. They share everything.
Almost everything:
Sitting in their living room, K and O browse the personal ads on Craigslist. They scroll down the list, discussing potential partners, ooh-ing and aah-ing at the photos and stats that catch their eyes. They write emails, trying to be as seductive to complete strangers as possible with the boring medium of computer text. When they find a partner, they separate, making love to people outside of their relationship, no longer the model of a “normal” monogamous couple, but rather two individual, sexual beings who happen to share an emotional connection.
This 10-minute video documentary follows K and O through their daily lives, both sexual and emotional, exploring and introducing their story as a polyamorous couple. Parallel storylines between the various individuals would function as a good way to express the varying viewpoints and opinions about the situations in the film. The film could progress chronologically through a swingers’ party and the events surrounding, or it could be edited into a thematic order. Inspiration may be found in the Comstock series of films such as Matt and Khym: Better than Ever or Damon and Hunter: Doing it Together.
In 2010 America, untraditional or unconventional ideas of sexuality and gender are the final frontiers in the fight for civil liberties. Like issues of same-sex marriage and adoption, ideas of polyamory or polygamy may seem foreign to many people. This is a hot-button issue, one that could incite loud and passionate responses from either end of the political spectrum. Still, behind the curtain of political theater remain real people, real couples like K and O who fit this bill on a daily basis. Their story may not be as unique and unconventional as many people would assume, and telling their story is one step along a path to a more understanding, tolerant and open-minded society.
This story is ideal for networks like HBO that show more explicit or adult documentaries or films quite frequently, like the series Real Sex. Members of the swinging community, couples that identify as polygamists or polyamorous, younger filmgoers, or supporters of the LGBTQ and other communities representing unique viewpoints about sex, sexuality and gender would be a vast, diverse and welcoming audience for this film. Both within this circle of supporters and outside, among the dissenters, the biases surrounding swingers would be key to the film’s story. Conservative social morality is certainly against this more casual form of sex and even the moderately socially liberal consider it psychologically or physically unhealthy. The participants in swingers’ events obviously hold a different perspective. This alternative view and lifestyle are what hold the interest of the film. Evidence in the form of interviews and verité footage create a connection between the viewers and our two characters, rather than trying to convince the viewer to align with either view as to the morality of the subject matter.
