Beloved Teasers:
#2 “Seasons”
A BLACK BONY OLD WOMAN’S HAND SILHOUETTE SEPARATES ITSELF FROM A BLACK SCREEN BY A DIM GLOW FROM BEHIND. AS THE TITLES APPEAR OVER THE PALM, THE HAND SHRINKS CHANGINGTO A YOUNG WOMAN’S HAND, AND THEN SHRINKING DOWN TO A TINY BABY’S HAND.
OVER A BABY’S CRY, THE WORD “BELOVED” APPEARS IN THE PALM OF THE TINY SILHOUETTED HAND.
ALTERNATE:
AN OLD LADY’S HAND IS QUILTING -- GNARLED, WRINKLED WITH AGE SPOTS AND TOIL.
IT CHANGES IN MOTION TO A BEAUTIFUL STRONG WOMAN’S HAND SEWING RAPIDLY.
IT THEN SHRINKS AND YOUTHENS INTO A BABY’S TINY HAND. WE PULL BACK TO SEE THE BEAUTIFUL BABY WRAPPED IN QUILT.
V.O.:
“FROM ACADEMY AWARD WINNING DIRECTOR, JONATHAN DEMI”
“AND NOBEL PRIZE WINNER, TONI MORRISON”
FADE TO BLACK. THE WORDS, “BE LOVED” APPEAR. THEY MOVE TOGETHER, “BELOVED”.
Or...
FADE TO BLACK. THE WORDS, “Be Loved” APPEAR. THEY MOVE TOGETHER TO FORM THE SINGLE WORD, “BeLoved”.
