The Ice Fishing Sessions (Opening Sequence: Draft)

Exterior, day.

Strong winds blow a dry snow across the desolate landscape of a frozen lake. Two or three lonely ice houses dot the far-off horizon.

In the center of the screen, through flying snow and ice that obscure most of the landscape, what appears to be a figure moving slowly toward the camera comes gradually into focus.

ENTER: A heavily bearded man (or woman) riding a double-decker Pugsley directly toward the viewer (medium shot).

As the shot cuts away, a chord from an electric guitar intermingles with the revving of a motorized auger.

CUT TO: Doomtree’s Dessa, wearing a Stormy Kromer and Steger Moosehide mukluks aggressively augering a hole in the lake’s surface.

MONTAGE:
-(Exterior) The skinny, big-haired guy from Howler kneeling on crushed snow, wearing fingerless gloves, cleaning a fish on a now-bloody wooden board.
-(Interior) The lady from Polica holding two tiny fishing rods, sitting on a white, overturned bucket.
-(Interior) Har Mar Superstar incorrectly operating a propane heating tank.

CUT TO: (Exterior) GIANT EXPLOSION.

CUT IMMEDIATELY TO: Begin Ice Fishing Session recording number one.
