Pre- Production: Film Opening Movie Script

 Title: A Bad Deal 

Costume Designer 

INT. TJ'S House - Morning 

The room is dimly lit. A 14-year-old boy, TJ WILLIAMS, lies in the Bathroom, Overdosed, dirty and everything. The camera moves closer to him as he drifts into sleep. 

DREAM SEQUENCE 

The screen fades, We find ourselves in a rundown LIVING ROOM. The atmosphere is tense. TJ’s MOTHER sits on the couch, His FATHER, in a drug-induced rage, grabs her and slaps her. 

FADE OUT TO BLACK. 


INT. TJ'S house - MORNING 

TJ jolts awake, gasping for air, Throwing up and everything. He's shaken but determined. He sits up, rubbing his face, trying to shake off the nightmare. 

TJ 
(to himself) 
Just a dream... just a dream. 

 The CAMERA follows him: 

INT.  Downstairs- CONTINUOUS 

TJ goes downstairs a few minutes later seeing his drugs and pills and so he continues to put them in separate piles to use later. 

 

 

INT. The Dining table - MOMENTS LATER 

TJ then checks his phone to see if he got more messages from his drug supplier since he called one of their deals off. Then he gets a knock at the door, Tj opens the door and two shady gang members are their pressing him  

Gang member # 1 
(smirking) 

What you mean no deal. 

Gang member # 2 
Yeah what you mean no deal bro. 

 

FADE OUT.
