Sounds Interesting.

It did occur to me that a paradox would be created, however I like to think of the whole time-travel conundrum as a very free topic to explore. I intend on using parallel universes or alternate realities to explain how the character is able to travel to his younger self and not create a loop. Using this I could even make a "Twilight Zone" style ironic twist which exploits the characters short comings.

woah, I like this idea. do it.

It has a similar concept to the Doctor Who episode "Amy's Choice."
An older version of the character interacts with a younger one, and even though they're doing things that the older one didn't back when she was that age, it still happens relatively paradox-free.

The older version also stayed stable all the way up until the younger version left, so theoretically, as long as there is a definite "Cut-off" point where the older version cannot develop the same way, then it could work.

It sounds very interesting, and I'm looking forward to seeing it come along.

I feel like this is a good idea, but it would be pretty easy to mess it up. I'd say focus a lot on the character aspect of it, probably more than the story itself.

My thoughts exactly. The only way this wouldn't create a huge plot hole was if the man who came back to the past fails to warn himself. In that case it could be one of those "Time Loop" thingies. I'd suggest reading this

For this film I'm going to be using time travel laws similar to the ones used in Alfred Bester's "The Men Who Murdered Mohammed"

To explain what I mean, I'll use a quote from the book.

"We each travel into our own past, and no other person’s. There is no
universal continuum. There are only billions of individuals,
each with his own continuum; and one continuum cannot affect
the other. We’re like millions of strands of spaghetti in the same
pot. No time traveler can ever meet another time traveler in the
past or future. Each of us must travel up and down his own strand
alone."
