The present title, "Uncovering the Enemy" seemed too long and too obviously connected to the 1990 movie, "Sleeping with the Enemy," starring Julia Roberts. A brainstorm session came up with these suggestions for a title: "Too Good to be True" Trapped, or The Trap or Quicksand. After I got home I thought simply reducing the title to "The Enemy" might best represent what the movie is about. Erick is open to further title suggestions.

I thought of a title in a different vein...

How about "A Time to Run"

It is a take off on Ecclesiastes 3

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

"A time to run" is really the basic message of the movie, i.e. when things get bad maybe the safest course of action is to run away.
It is also nicely ambiguous. The audience sees the title and sees a girl running and thus is not immediately tipped of that this is a movie about danger.

Here is my proposal for the titling: (by the way what is Claudia's last name and do we want to give Ted's friend a name and if so what?
Please contact me if you have any additions, corrections, or other suggestions for these credits. (Bernie, I may have to make all the credits including the web address very short for the contest so the movie will not run over the the fifteen minute time limit by too much but for the distribution version we can rework the credits to make sure that SAMM and its website is given plenty of exposure.)

Opening titles and credits: (remember Jordan Scott is the screen name that Jill Hess wants to use).
