This is an early development draft of Door Knocking, our AFI thesis short film.

It isn’t just a screenplay — it’s a working document layered with the director’s notes for every department. You’ll see how performance, cinematography, production design, sound, wardrobe, and editing are all considered from the very start.

By sharing this draft, we invite you into the creative process: the messy, collaborative, detail-driven work that transforms words on a page into a film.
