# ZEOLITE — Development beat-sheet excerpt

Source: ZEOLITE_Beat_Sheet_v1.md, August 15, 2026. Development planning, not a completed screenplay.

**1. OPENING IMAGE — Earth-7 alive** *(pp. 1–3)*
The terraced city at market hour. Water gardens, shaded stalls, the monorail, humans and aliens shoulder to shoulder, the gas giant on the horizon. **Establish what is worth saving before you threaten it.** No dialogue about stakes. Just a world you'd grieve.
> *Your trailer's opening shot is already this. It works. Start there.*
