The Sea Pagoda Shadow, AI Short movie

Late afternoon in the Continental Hotel lounge. Delacroix sits at one table. You sit at another, typing. The courier enters and receives the envelope. You notice. You type a single line — a note, not a story — and look up at the wrong moment. The courier meets your eyes. He smiles. You don't smile back.

That line survives the scene. It is never read.

You become him.

The deliverable is the scene. Eight seconds inside The Sea Pagoda Shadow — the longest of the four roles — as the film's other witness, the man who saw what Jörg saw and paid for it. Your likeness is generated into the character. Your name appears in the closing credits under The Negative Archive.

The NFT is the on-chain record of that participation. It contains the scene still from the finished film, the role metadata, and the credit. No speculative asset. A receipt for a part you played.
