Screenwriting Contest entry "Imagination" by Andrés Guzmán

  • fade in:

     

    1 EXT. SPACE

     

    A vast sea of quiet stars… suddenly, A little but fast starship crosses the space… behind it appears two more crafts… they are X- wings, going really fast, pushing to get close to the first ship. The X- wings start to fire lasers on the back of the ship.

    2 int. moving ship

     

    Inside the starship there are two persons; Mick and his co- pilot Sam. Both of them are in his twenties. Mick try to avoid the lasers by moving the craft to the left side and then, to the right one… the lasers still over them and he repeats the runaway maneuver.

    The left wing gets injured by one laser… the wing gets on fire, a few inches away from Sam´s window, who looks, terrified.

    A new laser strikes the ship… Mick loses control of the craft… the X- Wings get closer.

     

    sam

    Mick doesn´t answer… he keeps trying to control the ship… the camera makes a close up on Mick… his eyes wide open. Then, we listen to a new voice…

    3. INT. COLLEGE. CLASSROOM. DAY

     

    CAMERA ON A CLOSE UP ON MICK´S EYES… THE VOICE IS EVEN LOUDER NOW.

     

    PROFESSOR WATSON

    Mick seems to wake up (even if his eyes were both open)… we hear some laughings… the camera pulls back from Mick´s face… he is not longer into a starship… there are several young students in the room… all of them are mocking at him… professor Watson stands in front of Mick´s chair…

    The entire class starts to laugh then… the professor sighs, impatient.

     

    PROFEsSOR watson

    Mick doesn´t reply to those words… the professor stops steering at him, and talks to the rest or the class.

     

    professor watson

    The professor keeps talking with no emotion at all, almost like a learned boring speech for his students. They stop the laughs and now are listening to him, resigned. Mick doesn´t pay attention to him… his eyes find something nice: a pretty girl, named Laura, is looking at him. They smile to each other while the professor talks. Mick gets blushed at Laura´s smile. Zoom in to her beautiful face… and…

    4. ext. jungle. day

     

    Camera pulls back from Laura´s face… she is now wearing  safari clothes and she looks scared…

     

    laura

    Now we see a giant lion, with his mouth wide open, showing big teeth and approaching to her, who is shaking under a big tree, with no way to escape from the attack… Mick is two feet away from her, with a torch in his hand. He walks into the lion, fearless.

    laura

    Mick smiles at him and run to fight with the lion. The animal stops approaching to her, to turn into mick´s direction… animal and man jump into each other, with bravery.

    fade.
