This is the commercial I wrote for my Script Frenzy attempt. Technically, I wrote it before April, but I didn't count it towards my pages and I didn't copy and paste it into my script...
Shynia is one of my made-up worlds. It's a bit of a joke to call the network SEN, since my first Shynian (Keenan) looks a little like Haku, from Spirited Away.

From Black:
Int. Ladies’ Room – Day
SHANNON METTERNICH (28), in neat business attire, pacing and holding a CELL PHONE to her ear, while water trickles into one of several sinks along the wall behind her.
DARREN (V.O.)
One FBI agent is about to discover a world hidden from view.
SHANNON
(softly)
Come on, come on!
MAHONEY (V.O.)
(over telephone, filtered)
Mahoney.
SHANNON
(softly, relieved)
Hey, it’s me!
MAHONEY (V.O.)
(over telephone, filtered)
Shannon! It’s about time you called in!
Shannon leans against the wall, staring at the door, obviously worried.
SHANNON
Yeah, sorry, I’m still stuck with the bodyguard. Listen, they moved the time table up. It’s going down tonight.
MAHONEY (V.O.)
(over telephone, filtered)
Well, then it’s a good thing I met up with Larabee’s crew today, isn’t it.
Cut to:
Int. Warehouse – Night
JIROU (V.O.)
Where things most people think are only make-believe exist.
CHRIS LARABEE (37), an agent with a serious, grim expression, peers around the edge of a CRATE.
IVANOVICH is closing in on Shannon with a gun.
CHRIS
(standing)
Drop it, or I drop you!
Ivanovich whirls around and hurls FIREBALL at Chris. Chris throws up a hand defensively.
CHRIS
(voice echoing)
Mira!
MIRA, a tiny woman with wings, appears between Chris and the fireball. She catches it and flings it back at Ivanovich.
Shannon stares in shock.
Cut to:
Int. ATF Office – Day
MORIAH (V.O.)
A world that needs someone like her.
JAKE NATHANSON (30s), a kind-hearted agent, sits at his desk, watching as Shannon holds a CRYSTAL PENDULUM over a MAP.
The pendulum stops and Shannon points to the location.
SHANNON
She’s here.
DARREN
You found her… just like that?
Shannon smirks and shrugs.
SHANNON
Sometimes, the stars align just so and it’s like there’s a giant billboard that any magician can read saying, “Look here!”
CHRIS
Oh, you are so much more useful than just an undercover agent.
BEN (V.O.)
Discover for yourself: Secret World.
ALEXEI (V.O.)
