I wanna add a certain twist to it but i don't know what exactly!. Or should i just try and make up another story!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Knowing how it is to be in a down and out position like your featured character!. You need to build up the persons downfall or place it in your film some how so that viewers can relate to the homeless character!. A good twist would be your character saving a persons life and getting media attention!. From there he becomes a local hero and people offer him jobs in his past trade (painter,carpenter, mechanic ect!.) that then becomes a target for racial discrimination!. You can fill in the rest of the story!.!.!. He lost his job/family cause of a major catastrophe example would be drinking, gambling, hurricane, earthquake things of that nature!. People dislike him cause of his race, religion or sexual preference!. Maybe he falls in love with someone and it becomes an issue!.!.!.
