Detritus script sample

1. Detritus - Short Animated Film
SCENE 1: EXT. DESERT(COLD ONE) MORNING
Our unnamed female character (Jane for ease) is walking
across a desert landscape.
JANE is a NASA scientist, on an 18 month long mission to
test the feasibility of cryogenic sleep. The work is
highly controversial; due to this and the unstable nature
of the experiment, it is being held in the Svalbard seed
vault, one of the most geologically safe locations in the
world.
JANE
It was about 7 months into the
18 month experiment testing
induced torpor technology -
hibernation if you’re not a NASA
scientist. 7 months since I had
talked to anyone, 7 months since
I had read the news, 7 months
since I had last breathed. My
last emotion was excitement,
excited for the large cheque
about to be deposited into my
bank account.

JANE
At the start I was blissfully
unaware as the people around me
were catapulted at 375 miles an
hour towards the east facing
wall of the observation room.How
that would change.

JANE
Evidenced by what I saw when I
woke up, the earth stopped
spinning, but everything else
didn’t. That means that the
atmosphere kept spinning, and
375 mile an hour winds were
screeching past the vault door.
