...a writer and old friend of mine in atlanta inspired me recently to pick up a project that had been sitting around in various sketch books for a long time... sort of frank miller meets magaret mitchell... slightly steampunk... the sort of movie where certain buildings or locations become characters in the thing also... like Barton Fink or The Tenant...
so here it is... sort of storyboards for an opening scene......
would you watch this movie?

Sound
...fade from black as the camera struggles to focus through the August air hanging over Piedmont park on an anonymous part of the atlanta skyline
the camera passes various people from various walks of life in the park, each trying slightly ridiculous things to stay cool in the record heat.... pans across several buildings in the neighborhood...
eventually coming to rest on a particular window of a decrepit yet pricey, condominium/tenement above a pub called smith's old bar at the north corner of the park.....
