ALICE IN MODERN WONDERLAND

(Draft)

A Short Film

By Kira Bronfain
INT. APARTMENT - BED - EARLY MORNING

ALISA wakes up, looks at the clock on the nightstand, smiles at the thought of
something. Alisa is twenty five years old, a mix of a pretty librarian and a grunge kid?
She grabs a handheld device (iPhone or similar). There is an incoming text message from
LUXMan37.

LuxMan37

Today is the day.

Alisa smiles joyfully confirmatively.

ALISA

Yes, today is the day.

INT. APARTMENT – BEDROOM – MINUTES LATER

There is a happy anticipation and a feel motion in the air. The room’s ambiance is high-
tech with a laptop and other slick electronic devices. The wall above her workspace
features an MIT diploma.

Alisa moves around the room energetically. Passes a wall mirror and glances at herself.
Her glaze shifts to a large garment bag hanging on a wooden hanger over the closet door
next to the mirror. She looks at the bag intensely for a long moment. We do not know
what the garment bag contains.

INT. APARTMENT – BATHROOM

She gets out of the shower, dries herself with a fluffy towel. In front of the mirror, she
begins carefully applying make up. The energetic beat keeps playing in the background
and from somewhere outside there is a sound of birds singing.

A sudden beep is emitted from one of the devices in the bedroom.

INT. APARTMENT – BEDROOM

Alisa runs to her laptop and reads a message popped-up on the screen.

LuxMan37:
 I can’t wait. Is this a dream
come true?

She smiles, responds quickly:

Alisa:
Good to know it is for you...
I am still trying to decide.
Joke . Can’t wait.
This is everything I’ve ever wanted.
