THE SPARE LIGHT — ORIGINAL BEAT REVIEW

Eight original story events adapted from Clout’s complete fictional film treatment. These are planning cards, not generated or filmed scenes.

Setup: the cinema has a final screening and an established future as a community room.
Deadline: the reel must leave for an archive.
Obstacle: projector failure and an empty replacement carton.
Opportunity versus choice: the shadow appears before Mira accepts it.
Commitment: closing the archive case separates failed repair from trying another farewell.
Public action: unlocking the doors makes the experiment a gathering.
Change: Mira shares control of the shadow story.
Resolution: the reel leaves, the lamp remains and a notice invites the next community-room gathering.

Reordering test: move the new invitation before opening the doors. It now announces a result that has not been established. Decide whether that deliberate anticipation belongs in your version; the tool cannot judge it.

No required act count, screenplay page targets, runtime, casting, location or production feasibility is established. No Save the Cat worksheet is reproduced. Cover is separate generated editorial artwork.
