                                      SHOOTING DRAFT



                                           1995







A battered 35mm movie camera stands alone on a wooden tripod

surrounded by blackness. Opening credits begin. An almost

imperceptible DOLLY in toward the movie camera. The dolly

forward continues throughout the credits ending in an EXTREME

CU of the camera's lens, filling the frame like a giant,

glass full moon. Fade to BLACK.
Suddenly a door opens directly in front of the camera, wiping

the lens and revealing the following scene in Black and White.
               EXT. STREET. NYC. NIGHT
