Final Project Treatment (Entitled: 'Side Effects Include...')

A spotlighted wall canvas will be interrupted by a man rising into up, taking the spotlight. You see the man has between his finger and thumb a small black dot, which he examines for a few moments. After this examination he places the dot in his mouth, savouring the taste. After a short while he starts to look uncomfortable before descending into a full blown panic, gripping his stomach and holding his throat as if being strangled. Before long, black liquid starts pouring from his ears, nose and mouth, travelling down his body and slithering onto the floor. The black mass travels a short distance before forming into a leech like form, saying something to the camera before burrowing itself into the floor. The camera moves to a bird’s eye view shot over the spot where the shape burrowed, seeing from above another black mass ebbing up into a circular shape, before a hand takes it between its thumb and fore-finger. The film will then be free to start over; a film enabled to repeat.
