I think you're trying to ask us for ideas, which is sort of confusing since you're already writing, er, uh, "righting", a screenplay yourself. (lol, sorry, but, that was sort of funny...) ––– But, please, write your ideas yourself. Nobody likes someone who just takes other people's ideas and uses them.
Now, some tips for writing suspense, since I don't want to be rude and really do want to help you:
-Choose a memorable setting and "feel" for your story. You could pretend the story takes place in another area than you are in if you have a green screen to work with.
-Create something unusual about your story that will help it be memorable. Maybe it's a character's unique name, or something special about a person. Anything. Just something different.
-In a short screenplay, pay attention to 'letting the audience read in on things'. In other words, you don't have to tell every little thought or thing that's going on. Let people figure some things out and keep their minds interested in the story.
-End with an 'open ending'. In other words, make it so the story could continue on if you wanted it to.
