Theme #2 Twins
Two of something. Or someone. It can be a cloned president, two brains in jars, evil sisters on the run, or rats with rifles in a subway. However you show it - there should be two.
Theme #3 Trophy
You must feature a trophy in your film. What it symbolizes is up to you: a beauty pageant, a sports event, the last surviving human in an AI apocalypse etc.
