Tree's Blood Storyboard

EXT. FOREST - DAY

Tight on:

A TREE TRUNK deep in an ancient forest as a chainsaw cuts into the centuries-old bark. From the shadows, a set of GREEN EYES (obscured by leaves and not quite human) look on.

EYES POV (Point of View): Observing the logging site as the tree falls.

TIGHT ON: VINES quietly snake closer to the legs' of a logger.

TIGHT CLOSE-UP: The eyes widen as we hear the loggers scream. *

EXT. FOREST - DAYS LATER

We FIND ELVERIA (18, long locks), slinking through the * forest. An eco-influencer of note with an aura of unearned confidence. She has a PHONE in one hand and a PLASTIC CUP OF * COLD BREW in the other. She starts LIVE STREAMING: *

POV: Elveria's Camera

ELVERIA
Guys, it's Elveria here. Last week I exposed Happy Seafood for using dolphin, and now-

She sips her cold brew and points her phone at the forest.

ELVERIA (cont'd)
-I'm coming for Mononoke Logging. The blood of these trees is on their hands!
(deadly serious)

And thank you, Coffee Shoppe Cold Brew, for fueling this change.

Ending her LIVE Stream, Elveria tosses the plastic cup aside. She hears rustling.

ELVERIA (cont'd)
Hello?!

She’s ripped off her feet by some unseen force! A VINE wrapped around her ankle drags her screaming into blackness.
