1	FULL FRAME - WHITE NOISE



Credits begin. The entire frame is filled with white noise within which one can make out thefaint

image of a television program. Every few moments the channel changes, revealing a new ghostly

image.
The camera pulls back very slowly. We reveal that this image is coming from a twenty seven inch

television.
The camera pulls back some more and we see a man's hand enter frame holding a remote

control. The hand changes channels frantically.
The camera pulls back into its final position and we see STEVEN BARTOWSKY, thirty

years old, sitting on his couch. He is trying to find a channel with viewable reception.

Unfortunately for him � his cable is not hooked up.
