Have you ever imagined a disaster film with a protagonist who could assume the shape of an apple core?

Neither had we... Until today, when we saw this highly imaginative excerpt from a 12-year-old's film script -- shared with the Internet by an enthusiastic computer camp counselor.

Reddit user Xineph posted the following image with the caption, "My favorite part about teaching screenwriting at a summer camp is this script an 8-year-old just handed me." (He later corrected himself and said that the camper, Josh, is 12.)

"I'm a counselor at SummerTech Computer Camp in Purchase, NY," Xineph explained , going on to note: "we teach the campers basic screenwriting format and Josh wrote most of this on his own time."

For their part, other Reddit users contributed creative takes on the concept of a "squid-shark-alligator hybrid."

Xineph also shared a photo of the aspiring filmmaker:

Young Josh has already brought the project to the (very) small screen . And while it's not quite Oscar material yet, we're confident this project has potential. We hear shark movies are a pretty good bet these days. (Mom's on it, writing , "[Josh is] ready for his close-up and I'm ready for a SyFy contract. Bring it.")
