EXT – ST. MARK’S RIVER – DAY
PAULA MCKINNEY, 13, is up to her shoulders in the water. She takes four slow BREATHS then quickly ducks under the water.
INDIAN SITAR MUSIC fades in as the water settles into a placid surface. Paula emerges from the water, out of breath.
Dense woods draped in moss align the river’s edge. Nearby is a small dilapidated wooden dock. A large yellow dog sniffs through the hyacinths on the bank.
Paula wears a bathing suit, a pair of beat-up sneakers and scrapes and scabs on both her knees. She holds up a piece of a jawbone, the teeth still intact.
She places it in an old cigar box where a fading black & white photograph of a young couple lays alongside some rocks, an old whistle and a pack of chewing gum.

Production Notes:
7. This is a multiple part essay question. Read all segments before beginning.
You have been hired to direct the following scene.
INT – CADILLAC – NIGHT
GEOFFREY slides into the driver’s seat and JULIE scrambles into the backseat through the passenger door. Before she settles into the seat, he squeals into a U-turn, the passenger’s door slams shut with his spin.
Small red taillights fishtail up ahead. The pursued car churns up fine snow.
Geoffrey takes the cigarette from his mouth and stubs it in his ashtray. We hear the churning of the car wheels and the pinging of snow clods and salt on the car’s underside. In the back seat, Julie screams.
Geoffrey is not gaining on the taillights. He fights with the wheel as his car swims on the road. The red taillights ahead start to turn. With a distant crunching sound, they disappear.
The headlights now show only empty road. The headlights arc, starting to turn.
Geoffrey frowns and slows the car. His headlights show the car up ahead off the road, crumpled around a telephone pole, having failed to hold the turn.
Geoffrey brakes. Julie slides off the back seat and thumps onto the floor.
Geoffrey sweeps his gun off the front seat, throws open his door and gets out.
