Synopsis

A man walks through an unmarked door. His mission is to deliver and receive important documents that have been placed in his care. What is in these documents no one knows. All we, and the man in charge of their safekeeping know, is they are enclosed in an unmarked envelope. 
He must work his way through the halls and corridors of the "Agency" to ensure that the envelope is passed on safely, to the right person, before he moves on. Once the last envelope reaches it destination he walks through the back of the same unmarked door to begin the loop again.


The ambiguity of what the man is doing and the lack of information about the characters involved will mean that there will be little narrative for the viewer to engage in. There will be an obvious series of event but the focus will be on a wide variety of shots and scenes rather than a story.

The film will be in black and white in the theme of a gangstery, possibly 'Film Noir' type piece. Dramatic contrasts and varied shots will add to the effect.

To further create ambiguity, there will be no dialogue, only a slow, minimal, jazz soundtrack to complement what is being seen on screen. The composition of the music will be quite repetitive to ensure that the viewer feels like they are seeing a continuous loop.
