Boxes and Bare Walls

Live-action photoreal, present day. An empty childhood bedroom mid-move, cardboard boxes stacked, pale rectangles on the wall where posters used to hang. Late afternoon, dust drifting in the light. A person in a soft oversized cardigan and jeans stands at the window, one hand on the sill, looking out. Packing tape, a bare mattress, a single kept shoebox on the floor. Soft low sun through gauze curtains, warm amber wash, long shadows. 35mm, slow dolly in. Shallow depth of field, subtle grain, gentle motion blur, 24fps.
