ECHOES - Part 2

Excepts from the script

FADE IN CAPTION

IN THE BEGINNING... Fast cut of a LONG and NARROW CORRIDOR, deserted and silent ...THERE WAS NO EXISTENCE OF...Fast cut of another similar looking corridor, yet somehow different....TIME...A CREEPY looking SEMI-OPENED HALLWAY, the night wind is whistling.

VERY SLOW FADE OUT

FADE IN

1. INT. - STAIRCASE - LATE NIGHT

One of the lights at the corridor flickers. The upwards-staircase remains empty. A faint smoke emits from the astray standing at one corner of the staircase. The leaves from the plants in the pots swaying a little due to the night breeze. We turn a corner into the door to the office.

CUT TO:

2. INT. - OFFICE - LATE NIGHT

The office is almost dead quiet.
The only faint sound that can be heard is a slow humming of air conditioning from afar. The paintings from the walls are faces of human starring right back at you, with almost fiery eyes that one can hardly decipher at this time of the day. All lights are out except for one wing at the far end. We pass rows of cubicles at both sides but they all look almost identical under such darkness. As we move closer towards the light, we see JULIA working at her desk.

This is the first Malaysian short film shot on HD format. The entire project was funded by MDC. I sincerely thank them for making it happened for me. I had mixed reviews for the film whenever I screened it, but one thing is for sure, I am glad that I took that journey and that one step forward in my filmmaking career and I am proud of that.
