THE SCRIPTWritten by

Geoffrey Fletcher

The following screenplay contains very little descrip-tion.

You may imagine its characters, its location(s) and its events in any inoffensive way that you wish for your entry piece of 5 minutes in length.

You may add to the dialogue.

The characters discuss opening something. It can be anything.

Remember, your characters can be any combination of people, creatures or objects, real or imagined. Feel free to place these characters anywhere (Earth or oth-erwise), in any time period (past, present or future) or in any genre (comedy, thriller or otherwise) using any style or production technique (live action, anima-tion, photography, drawing or otherwise) that you wish to use.

Good luck!
