## Prompt

```text
Create a cinematic film still in a 16:9 widescreen frame, showing {character_name} from behind as he stands in a rectangular doorway and turns his head over his right shoulder in a tense profile glance. He is a white man in his 30s with slicked-back dark blond hair, wearing a dark navy or black jacket with a broad collar; his body fills the lower center of the frame, mostly seen from the back, with only the side of his face visible. The camera is positioned slightly behind and to his left, at chest height, creating an over-the-shoulder, surveillance-like composition. The foreground wall around the doorway is rough beige stucco with strong tactile texture, occupying most of the left and right sides of the image. Beyond the doorway is a warmly lit yellow interior room with cream walls and a built-in bookshelf in the background containing indistinct books and small framed objects. Use moody neo-noir lighting with a sickly warm yellow interior glow contrasting against the dark jacket, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain, realistic skin and fabric texture, muted green-gold color grading, soft shadows, and the look of a single frame from a serious psychological thriller. No visible text, no watermark, no extra people.
