The Diner Booth

Shot on grainy 16mm film, heavy texture, muted indie palette, imperfect focus breathing. Night. A near-empty roadside diner with buzzing neon. A person in a denim jacket slouches in a booth stirring coffee, watching the rain streak the window, weary. A jukebox glow, chrome napkin holder, an empty plate. Warm sodium light. Raw honest motion, verite soul, flickering exposure, 24fps.
