Yellow
Logline: After freezing during a violent burglary call that leaves his partner shot, a disgraced cop is forced into therapy with a paralyzed former officer who secretly molds him into a weapon of vengeance against the department that wants him gone.
Short Description: Yellow is a psychological crime thriller about Officer Chris Kelley, a Miami cop whose fear leaves his partner bleeding out and nearly dead. Humiliated and facing termination, Kelley is sent to mandatory therapy with Martin Vellasco, a wheelchair-bound former cop with a hidden agenda. Through hypnosis, conditioning, and manipulation, Vellasco strips Kelley down to his rawest instincts — rebuilding him as an aggressive, hyper-vigilant enforcer. As Kelley begins to thrive on the edge between courage and brutality, Internal Affairs closes in and Vellasco’s true motives come into focus. The story is tense, character-driven, and explores how far redemption can go before it turns into something darker.
Writer’s Note: With Yellow, we wanted to explore what happens when cowardice becomes a crime, and whether a man can be rebuilt — or weaponized — after his lowest moment. This script dives into the psychology of fear, shame, and manipulation, pairing the clinical intimacy of therapy scenes with the raw danger of the street. It’s part cop drama, part character study, and part descent into moral ambiguity.
