On Scriptnotes a few weeks ago they read from a reader submission: 'Batshit'. Here is an idea for a completely different short film with the same title.
Basically, it would be the story of a parent catching something like Hendra virus from you know what (I saw today that SARS was probably caught from bats originally). They would be survived by one modern young person. The doctor's inability to cope and the poor suffer would be mirrored by the overwhelmed young person reaching deep into their vocab and coming up with a rueful, marvelling 'batshit'.
I recently rewatched the 'Neon Genesis: Evangelion' series, and I enjoyed it very much, although the final couple of episodes are pretty hard to take. I found the bleak world view fit my current mood very much. This story idea is probably very sophomoric.
