29 July: "SIX ONE-LINE FILM SCRIPTS" by Tom Andrews

Tom Andrews
SIX ONE-LINE FILM SCRIPTS 


Film Noir
Everyone on earth is asleep – except Robert Mitchum.

French Flic
The camera is an emptiness that longs to be a camera.

Historic Epic
Thousands of extras…reset their alarm clocks.

Stéphane Mallarmé Counts the Buttons on the Hangman’s Vest
Mallarmé: Two, three…no…two…no…wait, two, three…one, two…

God, Guilt and Death
This will not work on film.

The Needle
Medium shot of a camel squeezing through the eye of a needle.

  1. I'm not convinced this is a poem, but it's pretty funny. I'm not sure how to read them as a whole. It seems a lot like that Tina Fye commercial which is one of the worst commercials I can think of off the top of my head.
