Small Black - Small Black EP

Jonathan Demme 1989 short film starring Daryl Hannah as a night-shift security guard at a pharmaceutical factory. It begins with Daryl silently making the rounds, checking locks and scanning empty rooms with her flashlight. The beam of light dances and reflects off of the test tubes, lab equipment, plastic containers and the rainbow assortments of pills.

After noting her initials on a clipboard and punching out her time card she sits down placing a lunchbox on the table in front of her. She takes out a sandwich, soup, juice and an apple. She reaches into her pockets and pulls out a heaping handful of the colorful pills. She buries half of the capsules into the tuna sandwich and the rest she mixes into her soup. She delicately eats her sandwich and sips her soup. When she is done she places her utensils back in the lunchbox. A close up on her face. An enigmatic smile. Cut to black. - for Lauren D. LISTEN
