Titles: Strange Sexual Stirrings
Music: Jazz
INT. ARTIST’S STUDIO – DAY.
(Action) We see a lone artist flicking through a magazine. Pen in hand. A naughty ciggie on the go. The person is taking a break, a break perhaps from the act of doing the ridiculous. The artist is drawn to a double-page advertisement spread.
The Artist (inner voice):
I have visited an uninhabited island. I have seen the leaning tower of Pisa. I have had a museum all to myself. Check. Have I written a screenplay? I would like to. Check it anyway. Yummy biscuits. I haven’t won a karaoke contest, eaten an insect or seen a penguin in its natural habitat. (beat) Hmmm the screenplay…
CUT TO: Magazine close-up.
(Action) The artist then proceeds to write the following on the magazine:
Overlooking the city…amazing spaces, brilliant light.
Child - no baby.
She sings.
Amazement.
Los Angeles.
No, two children and baby and a daughter.
Amazing clear light,
A breeze,
Sun.
Architecture (mixed) -
Overlooking the city (near Swiss Cottage)
But there is an allotment
In a Georgian garden
And a black ‘slave’ gardener
Holding a baby boy who’s totally secure and sleeps.
A feeling of a cinema in the sky filled with all beatnik types..
Strange sexual stirrings…
She would love the allotment.
CUT TO: INT. ARTIST’S STUDIO – DAY.
The Artist (inner voice):
Must do the dialogue. Internal. And the narrative…
More music
