Still from The Script. In a set, a person with their back to the camera, talks to two other persons that are sitting in chairs in front of a table. To the right and left, there are camera crew people. In a dimly-lit set that resembles a doctor's office, two actors, dressed as a doctor and patient, look intently at the director speaking to them. The Script is a short film in the QUEER FUTURES series.
