New Short Film Idea #2

I never thought this post would happen, but I suppose inspiration just shows itself however it pleases. This is a bit odd, but still nothing compared to some of the short films I've seen.

Working Title: Clear

Genre: Mainstream/Spiritual, I guess

Characters: No more of the main character (a female in her late teens or early twenties) is shown than her hand.

Setting: The camera remains locked on a graphing calculator (probably a TI-84 or some such thing) that rests on a desk. It's an overhead shot so that all of the buttons and symbols on the screen can be made out.

Plot: The film opens with a shot of the calculator, its screen blank aside from a blinking cursor in the upper left. A female hand appears and begins to punch the proper buttons so that words appear on the screen (a time lapse would probably need to be used for these parts, because this takes forever). Each line ends with a press of the Enter button. After a few lines of positive/neutral words ("JOY," "WORK," etc.), some negative words start to creep in concerning bad acts of hers. The hand types out these words with increasing agitation until it finally hits the Clear button. After a moment's hesitation, the hand presses 2nd+Enter to find the negative words are still in the calculator, and she quickly presses Clear again. This process repeats, with a varying number of 2nd+Enter presses to bring up every line of the bad words, and then ends with her frantically and hopeless pushing the Clear button after it has taken everything off the screen. Timidly, she tries 2nd+Enter again, but the last line of negative words comes up again, and her hand drops to the side of the calculator in despair.
At that point, a masculine hand with stigmata reaches over and presses the proper buttons to clear the calculator's memory. Guiding the woman's hand back to the calculator, he has her try pressing 2nd+Enter again. Nothing comes up.
