Short Film Treatment
“A coworker of hers approaches and asks Joan if she’d like to go out for drinks afterwards with some of the others. Joan jumps when the woman starts speaking, and quickly makes up an excuse about how busy she is. The scene then cuts to Joan entering her small, sparsely decorated apartment. She is seen triple-checking the locks, and she spends the night alone on her couch.”
Screenwriting
Feature Film Treatment
“There is a brief montage of Robert driving his boat around the bay, looking at the sunset while the dark storm clouds continue to brew. He speeds along the water, his boat leaving a perfect wake behind him. His phone rings multiple times, every call coming from “Home.” Robert frowns and ignores all the calls, but at last begins to steer home as dusk falls and a fog begins to roll in ahead of the storm.”

THOMAS
