TIDEFLAT, back to the harbour

TIDEFLAT · shooting script
A red lobster puppet in an olive waxed jacket and a mustard knitted hat works a brass panel set into a stone harbour wall. Black turf-roofed houses behind him; a small brass bell on a driftwood frame at the waterline; buoys on a grey fjord.

1EXT. FLATEYRI HARBOUR – DAY1

A grey afternoon, soft and cool.

Tarred black houses with turf roofs. Laundry streams left to right in a west wind.

KLÓI, a red lobster in an olive waxed jacket and a mustard beanie, works a brass panel set into the harbour wall. His claws tremble. They always have.

At the waterline, a small brass bell on a driftwood frame. Buoys nod. Above Klói, a wooden flip-board waits to say something.

KLÓI: Morning.

THE ORGAN pushes in on the panel. Along the shore, THE STREET is to the right and THE FLAT to the left. PULL BACK shows the set.
