Pitch

WIPE

Positioning for a development conversation. Not a substitute for the screenplay.

A cleaner in a white suit stands small in a dark apartment doorway while a violet lamp beam crosses to a window seat lit by city lights. — WIPELookbook plate

World

Stockton, October. NELL ARDEN (26) runs a one-van trauma-cleaning company with TEO SALCEDO (27), an ex-EMT who is quietly in love with her.

A wet levee road beside dark water at night under sodium lights, a violet beam across the asphalt.

Engine

Every clean she signs while wanting pays her in someone else’s life. Every trace she misses lets them reach back. Her battered UV lamp is the only way to see them, and its battery is dying.

Why this

Ordinary work under sodium light, with dread underneath it. The film is funny and warm about two broke people who are very good at a terrible job, and that warmth is the trap.
