Project Synopsis
This is a very rough version of the concept. It will be updated and a more complete script and story will be sent to you upon application.
This is a commercial for the bookstore Cross & Crows
ALLY is shopping around the store looking at all the super cute and queer books and stickers. The door opens (it makes a bell ding sound) but we don’t see RACHEL yet. The owner says “hi welcome in”.
Both characters are shopping around and looking at things. When suddenly, both characters meet as they both start to reach for the same book at the same time. Their hands touch. Suddenly music comes in and all the lighting becomes colourful and magical
They look at each other and then lighting goes back to normal and music stops and they go “oh sorry” and the same time. They laugh and smile and ALLY says “it’s okay!” And smiles.
Cut to pretty lighting wide of store with text and voice over saying
“Cross and Crows - the friendliest and queerest bookstore in east van”
