It sounds like it may work for a one act on stage.

Im sure you could add plenty of stage actions and lighting cues and sound cues to turn it into a lovely one act.

Have your actors preform it and see how you like it, it may even inspire you to add more. You never know. :o)

Well, a lot of great films were plays first. You have better chances of getting it published and noticed right off the bat thanks to a thing called the Humanna Festival which is basically a contest for new plays to be introduced. I would adapt it into a play format and go from there.

BUT you already answered your own question...either extend it or reduce it.

it's almost a 1 hour tv show

if its worth while they'll do something to extend it.
