THE COMPANY: First Contract

SCENE 1

Snow Blizzard Films Presents

Black screen, stylized snow swirling, night — Cinematic white flakes drift over a stark black void; text reads ‘Snow Blizzard Films Presents’.

SCENE 2

Opening Credits

Black screen, faint snowy glow, night — ‘A Bradley Elliot Film’ appears in bold, icy blue font, fading as wind whistles.

SCENE 3

Rooftop Shadows

Bucharest rooftop, late night, heavy snowfall — A man in his mid-20s, Chris Stone, crouched atop a snow-dusted rooftop, scans the city through swirling white.

SCENE 4

Unseen Eyes

Rooftop across narrow street, late night, orange streetlights in fog — A woman in her early 30s, Vera Mihai, peers from behind a rooftop vent, binoculars fixed on the building below.

SCENE 5

Mantra in the Blizzard

Same rooftop, late night, wind howling — Chris Stone opens a small locket featuring a faded older man’s portrait, fingers trembling with cold.

SCENE 6

Zeroed In

Chris's rooftop, late night, sniper scope’s view blurred with snow — Chris Stone aligns the sniper rifle’s sightline, his blue eye reflected in the lens, city lights ghosted behind.

SCENE 7

Final Instructions

Chris's rooftop, late night, earpiece blinking red — A close-up shows Chris Stone’s earpiece as Adrian Dragescu’s cold expression is faintly reflected in the glass of a nearby surface.

SCENE 8

Taking the Shot

Chris's rooftop, late night, muzzle flash in snowstorm — Chris Stone squeezes the trigger, icy breath clouding as a precise muzzle flash briefly illuminates his face.

SCENE 9

Trajectory

Bullet's path, across alley to lit apartment window, late night — A bullet streaks in slow motion, trailing snow crystals, with Chris Stone’s silhouette receding in the background.

SCENE 10

Shattered Silence

Apartment window, late night, interior lamplight — Glass explodes outward as a suited, unseen target collapses from view; white curtains flutter in the wind.

SCENE 11

Packing Up

Rooftop stairwell, late night, emergency light casting long shadows — Chris Stone silently dismantles his rifle, the locket visible on his glove, snowflakes melting on cold concrete.

SCENE 12

Crossing Paths

First floor stairwell, dim red light, late night — Chris Stone brushes past Vera Mihai, who glances up sharply; neither betrays recognition.

SCENE 13

Drive Into the Storm

Street below rooftop, late night, snow intensifying — Chris Stone loads his rifle case into a red Cobra Mustang, exhaust fog swirling as the engine ignites.

SCENE 14

A New Name

Black screen, faint engine and storm sounds — ‘THE COMPANY: FIRST CONTRACT’ appears on screen in stark white letters as storm winds reach a crescendo.
