For this task, I was required to write the opening page of a screenplay. Coinciding with this project is a pitch for a three to five minute short film, to kill two birds with one stone I decided to write the opening page for my pitch.

Here is a breakdown in the form of a five-finger pitch:

• Genre: Drama.
• Protagonist: The Artist.
• Their Goal: To paint again.
• Obstacle: Their dominant hand has been permanently injured.
• What’s Important: The Artist still has their other hand.
