One Sentence Description:
The King of the Dark Forest goes on a search for a Starlet.


Characters:
Starlet…. Female....Ariel Rucker
King…. (Male?)


The Story:

[Fade in from black]
The story begins with a close up of a king sitting on his golden thrown.
His servants are kneeling motionless next to him.
Everything seems frozen in this dark forest.

The King of the Dark Forest spends all his time sitting and staring down at a broken flower steam on the floor.
but on this night a very bright light brakes trough the thick leaves and shines directly into the kings path.
He has never seen anything like this before.
He becomes very curiosity that he gets up and trys to touch it.
He sees that he has to go up to where the light is coming from.
So he orders his servant to build him a latter up to the tree tops.
His servants stack up one on top of the other. (like Chinese acrobats)

As the king climbs up he sees that the light is coming from far beyond from where he thought.
The light is shining down from a heart shaped cloud in the sky.
So he orders his servants to build him an even higher latter.

As he is about to reach the cloud a comet crashes into his latter.
He just nearly grasp on to the cloud.
He pierces through the bottom of the cloud and sees that the light is actually coming from the window of a castle that was hidden away inside this cloud.
The light is coming from the Starlet.
She is wearing a sparkling golden dress looking out her window.

I also want to photograph the lonely maiden waiting in her room.
in a variety of poses and places in her room. this should look like a high fashion photo shoot.
her standing in a door way. lounging in a chair. laying on her bed holding a dried white flower.

As the King gets closer he sees this beautiful glowing starlet in her room and she sees him.
They both lock eyes with a longing for each other.
and in the background you will see lots of shining stars and fluffy clouds.
Then a flash of bright light.

cut to a shot where the king is sitting back on his thrown with his beautiful girl on his lap.
She illuminates his dark forest.
