INT. UNIVERSITY ART STUDIO (NEW ENGLAND PRESENT DAY) - NIGHT

ECU PAINTBRUSH The first long stroke of midnight-blue paint traces along a light pencil line sketched on a 24x36 canvas.

THE STUDIO: Artist EMILY DUPARTE, 33, is alone in the large shared space. Several art tables, easels and paintings of different subjects and styles at various stages of completion --organized --unorganized --throughout student art stations.

Nearest Emily, paintings of 17th Century European merchant and sailing ships are displayed, and stacked upright on end.

Confident, Emily steps back from the easel to examine the image on her canvas --the single stroke of midnight-blue paint along the sketched spine of an outlined BLACK PANTHER standing broadside with its head turned toward the viewer.

Emily takes a breath, smiles to herself, raises a brow.

EMILY

Well, the adventure has begun...
