Hey buddy.

Just got a postcard from Nathaniel,

and listen what it says.

"Dear Stilly,

"our leader has asked me to invite you

"up here to Ragnarok.

"If you can round up Pitman and David,

"we know that we have an incredible subject

"for a documentary.

"If you're interested, meet me at the

"Winnett Bar in Winnett, Montana sometime between

"2PM and 4PM on July 13th.

"If you are not there, this is my goodbye.

"You have always been a true friend",

and this is in capitals, "We need your help."

I'm calling up David, I think we're probably

gonna be headed north.

These people he's with, and then,

I've met some of them, they're awesome,

they're crazy, we've had crazy deep conversations.

So I dont know how deep the conversations

are gonna go in these things.

I dont know man, I feel like I could be

one step away sometimes from sending

somebody a postcard like that.

- I think that it's gonna be awesome.

I'm excited.

I'm excited for this.

We're in between projects.

It makes perfect sense, why wouldn't we go do this?

We've always wanted to kinda make a documentary.

- My initial reaction is that I didn't wanna go.

I was like, screw that.

And then you guys were like, "yeah, it's fun,

"it's gonna be fun, excited", and I was like,

what are they not reading that I'm reading?

Why are you guys not worried about this situation?

The postcard is really weird.

- I am overseeing all things sound related.

So are you excited?

- I hope there's some cute girls there.

- The thing that I'm struggling with is

if this is a cult or a commune.

That's what I--

What's the difference?

- Cults are in my opinion, seem much more insidious.

Stilwell.

- Yeah.

Do you think Nathaniel's

gotten himself into real trouble?

- No.

I don't.

Like, I don't know what it is,

but I don't think trouble.

I really don't.

That's it, isn't it?

Welcome to Winnett.

Hey, you haven't heard of a commune in the area,

not at all?

Is it out at the bench or?

Out I guess by the, yeah,

Muscle Shell River, or?

- Oh okay. - Yeah, Muscle Shell.

- There's a,

they're not really such a commune, it's,

they're kinda setting down there,

they've made their own little niche.

- Yeah.

Thank you.

- Yeah, you guys have a good one.

- Take care, bye. - See you soon.

All righty.

12 ounce steaks, video gambling.

Wow.

Outside 100, inside 75,

where do you wanna be

Where are we?

The Winnett Bar and Grill.

Why are we here?

He said to meet when?

Between two and four.

Two and four.

So they very well could be in this bar at this moment.

Yup.

Are you guys lost?

We're not lost.

We're filming a movie.

Yeah we're--

- Oh right, the commune guys.

What are they like?

You don't know?

Uh-uh.

- Then you're on your own dude.

Yup, here we go.

You got beers in here?

Uh huh.

All right.

Doesn't mean you get any.

Woo!

This is all, it's very nice.

This is great.

Is this your bar?

Sometimes.

How long have you lived in Winnett?

I'd say nonya.

Nonya.

- Nonya business.

How long have you lived in Winnett?

All her life.

- All my life.

Really?

Have you met any of the people living in the commune nearby?

No, she hasn't.

10 o'clock news, seven o'clock news.

Oh my god.

Are you serous?

Oh my God.

He's alive.

Listen to this shit oo.

- We weren't sure.

Yeah, that is, he was gonna fly around.

Cheers.

- Cheers.

- Cheers, man.

- Let's get a joint.

- Everybody.

Pitty's mad.

I haven't heard from you in three years.

- I tell you what, when we get out there,

you'll understand exactly why I've

been gone for three years.

Do you know who we're meeting here?

Do I?

Yeah.

Oh yeah.

Woo!

Uh oh.

- Stilwell.

Creek's dried up.

And the bus ain't runnin'.

Oh shit.

- Rizzo.

Adam Cotton.

- Pleasure to meet you. - You too.

Hold on, hey, Adam Pitman.

- Nice to meet you, Andrew Rizzo.

Hi.

Hello.

David.

- Andrew Rizzo, pleasure to meet youse.

We got some problems, boys,

we gotta kind of move quick, the bus is down.

I'm just gonna be a little transparent with you guys.

There are some people who are not really happy at all.

You might be walking into a little bit of stuff.

You know what, the best time to come see

Ragnarok is as the sun's going down,

so let's DD Mao, let's get on the road.

Anyone wanna ride with me?

Pitty, do you wanna go with him?

David, you go with Rizzo.

I'll go, I'll ride with you, I'll go.

- It's okay, it's okay.

I might need to put more water in this bitch.

Car?

Yeah.

All right, I can do,

you can just use what's in my water bottle.

Yeah, I'm gonna--

Are you okay?

Let's do that, let's deal with.

That's what this is all about, right?

I don't know how but

if you can ask him if like,

if any of the people that are worried

about us filming, if we're gonna face

any hostility at all?

- Okay.

Like violence.

- They wanted us out here.

Let's get that sunset.

I know, okay.

All right.

Okay I'll see you guys out there.

- See you out there brother,

just stay close behind.

I'm excited for this.

I don't have any real ties or any real,

and nothing anchoring me and so I thought,

what the hell?

- The only advice I'd give you sir, David right?

Yeah, yeah, David.

- David.

Is check your expectations at the door,

and your assumptions at the door and you'll do just fine.

You got it, easy to do.

- Yeah, for some.

Okay so we just met Andrew Rizzo.

So when you wrote in your postcard,

the leader, is that him?

That's Rizzo, that's who Stilwell thought was the leader.

Are these your cows?

No, we don't have any cows.

We do have sheep though.

I'm a coffee drinker, I brought

a couple of frappucinos for myself.

- Oh nice.

And for anybody who wants them.

- Well we can, I mean, like it's kinda

like the natives, if you give the gifts,

you know, when I was in the army years ago

when I was over in Iraq, you give them toilet paper,

or jeans or anything like that, you make friends real quick.

So use your frappucuinos or whatever it is you got wisely.

And if your half as laid back,

if you're as half as laid back as you are right now.

You're gonna be fine.

I'm pretty laid back.

- Well the little guy, he seems a little nervous.

He's a little nervous.

They're gonna eat him up, man,

they're gonna eat him up.

So I'm a little worried about the

people that aren't excited about us being out there?

- Yeah, well you know you just have to

understand that for some people cameras and movies

and things like that are one of the symptoms

of the world that we're trying to

get away from.

- So here she is.

If you turn that camera right over here.

Ghetto Gypso.

There it is.

Yeah.

There it is.

Is this really far away from camp?

Yeah, about half way.

Yeah.

Nice.

- Welcome to Ragnarok.

Who is that?

Oh, by the way.

Yeah.

- No smoking.

Fire danger.

Okay.

I don't smoke though.

- All right so some quick housekeeping brothers.

One: a lot of rattlesnakes.

Especially up in that area and that cave up there,

we had a collapse, our boy Nicky, you know Nicky?

He almost got crushed up in there,

so stay away from it. - Oh Jesus.

I wonder if I should get out

of the car?

- Two.

No booze in the triangle at Ragnarok,

and you'll understand that when you get in there.

You can come drink at your car.

- Okay, okay.

- No I think that's it, oh yeah,

leave all your gear in the car.

Someone'll come and take care of it,

put it in your yurt for ya.

Okay.

Krunk, come on we gotta go, DD Mao.

Where are you going?

I got some stuff I gotta do.

All right okay.

See you guys down there.

See ya Nathaniel.

- I can't believe I haven't been here yet.

- Yeah.

- It's crazy.

Wow, cameras out.

Oh hey.

He's Pitman.

Holy shit, nice to meet you man.

Nice to meet you.

This is Roos.

- Hello cameraman.

Wow, that's a trip.

And we just got ...

Some trouble with our old structures

so we just got some new structures,

and working on them, figuring them out.

That's pretty cool.

Creepy.

That's creepy.

That's a nice spot to die.

Regretting coming here.

Oh shit.

- Welcome to Ragnarok.

Wow.

Are you serious?

Hey.

Come on Pitty.

Don't be too weird.

Keep up.

How are you?

Holy cow.

- Wow.

- Good hug man.

Buddy.

- Fuckin' nuts.

What's up, man?

- Welcome, welcome.

- I'll show you guys round real quick,

and then just show you were your stuff's at

and we'll get you in your place,

and then we'll eat dinner.

- This is the whole crew, this is everybody?

This is it.

Hi, I'm David.

- Hi.

I'm Adam.

That's Sugar Slim.

This is David, this is John.

Call me Cotton, that's my last name.

Cotton.

It keeps the confusion down.

Cameras are on us.

Capturing every move.

How was the drive?

Good.

It was good, hot.

Hot?

Don't go in Martha's kitchen.

- Don't go in there unless you, you know,

rub on my back or my feet or

be dinner.

All right she's cooking, so let her be.

- I'm good, yeah.

- Okay this is,

this is the water buffalo, so you guys need to--

This is your kitchen?

It is.

- There's a lot of water right here.

There's a lot of stuff going on,

but it's a lot of fun.

A lot of them.

What's your name?

- I'm Martha.

Martha, I'm Adam.

- Adam, nice to meet you.

- It kind of has a little bit of a sulphur taste to it,

it's kind of soft water, tonnes of minerals,

really really good for you.

Cool.

- But it does. - Stoking!

- Thank you stoking!

But it does smell like fart water.

I'm Joel.

I'm Adam.

What's your name?

Beautiful.

- Put some rice in 'em, cover 'em in mud.

Take it away.

Two different ones.

- I just finished your portion, it's so good.

And I ran out of sauce for the top of it.

I'm coming.

I'm David.

Nice to meet ya, I'm Nick.

Nick, nice to meet you.

Gabriel?

- Yeah.

Nice to meet you.

- You too.

- All right well I think that's it for these guys.

David, there's prickly pear

so anything inside the triangle

you're pretty much safe you can

kind like step with your flip flops and stuff.

Okay.

Why do you call it the triangle?

'Cause it's like a triangle.

It's like the shape of the community,

it's where everything fits.

We're a pretty tight knit.

So this keeps everybody kind of tight and cool.

Yeah.

Wow.

Yeah, that's it, I can

show you guy to your yurt.

Wow.

Yeah.

We get a yurt?

Yeah.

Holy shit.

Whoa.

- So man, this is all you guys,

I'm gonna go check on dinner, see if I can help out,

and go get yourselves comfortable.

Cool, cool.

- There you go.

Awesome.

Thank you.

Stoking!

I did check.

Stoking.

Thank you stoking.

What's your name?

- Rick.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Welcome, welcome.

What's for dinner?

Lasanga and some salad.

I haven't met you yet, what's your name?

- Ciara.

Ciara, hi.

David's California.

Oh really?

I'm David, sorry.

- Very cool, Reid.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, Reid.

- Hi, I'm Sarina.

Sarina, nice to meet you.

- Oh, Hailey.

Hailey, nice to meet you Hailey.

- Nice to meet you.

Hi I'm David.

Okay.

Hey Rizzo, sorry to interrupt.

What's the protocol for dinner?

Hi buddy.

Eat.

I'm not totally sure, I think

two weeks, three weeks.

Maybe, yeah.

I dont know, there's something about electricity

and energy that I get.

It makes sense to me.

Do you feel like it's ironic

that you're trying to get away from it?

- The things that make us comfortable sometimes

make us too comfortable.

And we start to forget what else life is really about.

You know?

Yeah.

- I found myself that way years ago,

and the Burning Man experience for me

definitely opened my eyes to alternative forms of living.

Cool.

- And it's a treat, honestly.

Oh!

That generator.

Uh huh.

With a five gallon tank,

probably can run about 12 hours.

Okay.

But we're not big into fossil fuels

around here unless it's a special occasion,

and luckily, you're a special occasion.

Cool, thank you very much.

No problem.

- The idea that there are scorpions,

rattlesnakes, and like I said, we're so

far out in the middle of nowhere,

no cellphone service, that cellphone booster

does not work at all.

It says there's three bars, but you can't call out.

It doesn't connect.

I'm very uncomfortable.

I know you are.

- It's not--

But hey, hey, hey.

What if it this is good for you?

Oh like a spiritual--

No, no, no.

- I'm gonna have this--

- Thing that pulls me out of, I mean--

Out of your comfort zone

- Sure.

- I understand that.

If you spend your life being comfortable

all the time, how do you ever grow?

- Right, understand that.

And you've got some things that

you need to--

- I saw somebody.

Somebody was at that window.

Looking in the window.

Somebody was looking in the window.

Oh Jesus Christ.

Jesus.

Oh it was Nathaniel.

Oh fuck.

You have some things you need to work through.

All right Jesus, that scared

the shit out of me.

What you doing in here?

We're having a conversation, that's all.

No, that's awesome.

Oh God, that really scared me.

Okay.

All right.

You all right there Pitty

Keeps coming up like,

"what are you guys doing out here?",

and it's like, what?

We came out here 'cause you asked us to.

- You invite us out here.

We were invited.

And I actually only feel comfortable enough

talking about it 'cause I don't think

they can hear us over the generator.

But there was a few moments where

we talked about the people who,

the people who don't really want us here.

Not individually and specific but

there are some people who don't,

it wasn't their choice to bring us here,

but he talked about you, Pitman.

The fact that you didn't wanna ride with them,

he kept saying, "If your squirrelly friend

"brings that into the triangle,

"they're gonna pick up on it".

Weird.

I wasn't actually even gonna mention it to you at all.

Cotton!

Can I come in?

Yeah.

Why do I have this trust issue with Nathaniel?

- Yeah, he's one of your best friends.

You just gotta talk to him.

Whenever I see him he looks pissed off.

He looks like he has the weight

of the world on his shoulders.

- Yeah, he said, it's a big deal,

we got a good subject, maybe that's it.

Maybe we need to, we need to talk to those fuckin'

mother fuckers. - Yeah.

I just love it in here.

- Yeah. - Wow.

- The yurts are new for us.

Okay.

- Yeah we're trying them out,

we had a little surplus money and--

- You said usually you guys are doing

kind of the bigger tents.

- Yeah, we did those canvas tents

and even though they're shady, they get pretty hot.

So are you okay?

Yeah.

You're good?

Yeah, I'm good man, I'm good.

You're stressed a little bit?

We invited you guys here,

and I don't wanna put any of this on you,

but you guys have to understand that

you're walking into a situation where

these people have built this place and

they put it together, and they made a lot

of personal sacrifices, and financial sacrifices

to be here.

And it could pose a little bit of a threat,

and their concerned about how they're gonna be portrayed.

Yeah.

- But we've got a good thing going on here,

and we want people to know that

this is possible, and you can do this,

and you can find happiness in an environment like this.

That's why you asked us to come, or?

- Well I need you guys to know that

there is some stuff going on that I'm

not really at liberty to discuss right now.

Oh great.

- Within the group.

And just know that things are gonna level off,

it's an adjustment for you guys to land here,

and it's adjustment for us to have you.

That makes sense, cool.

Where we going?

- Straight to the top, baby.

That's beautiful.

Why are you here?

- I'm because of these people,

and I'm here to experience

and create a culture in a setting of our choosing.

- When you get all the outside noise,

dimmed down, quieted down,

you could do the best writing,

do the best singing, do the best dancing,

like just feel free.

- The ability to make change in this environment

is so immediate, and so powerful

and the struggles that we go through,

we go through together.

- This is a place to be aware of yourself,

and connect with other people,

and truly and honestly and be open enough

with yourself to connect with other open souls.

- So I'm very out front, I enjoy bathing

in front of people, and I think that's

kind of one of the beauties of our community,

and just shows a sort of an extreme level

of intimacy that we've somehow managed to achieve,

and for a fairly decent-sized group,

just bathe out in the open, you can see people

shitting up on the hill up there.

But it's all like why should it be shameful?

Why should it be?

It's like it's all something we all do,

we all have deal with our bodies.

We're all animals.

- Yeah exactly, and attaching to this notion of shame,

it seems like a very sort of Catholic,

Protestant sort of, you know,

way of living that I,

so desperately trying to avoid ever since

I've been old enough to make my own decisions.

What's in here?

- Please don't film in here.

Okay sorry.

- When an emotion rises up like, I don't like

the way that David's asking me this question,

I have a choice to try that on and

take over my vessel.

It's almost like a fight.

Within a fight, you've got two things

that you're in control of, time and distance.

The distance you've gotta cover,

and the time it takes to get there to strike it,

you know what I mean?

Sure.

- So when a thought or emotion comes up,

for me five years ago, I would be like,

"David hates me".

And I would be like, fuckin',

I gotta clock this fuckin' guy.

I would be talking to you and going,

"Fuck you", and now I'll allow go, "David hates me",

I look at it, kind of separate, I get a little

time and distance in between me and that thought,

but before I let it take over,

my flesh suit, I watch it,

and then I have an appropriate amount of distance

to say, "Is that something I really wanna try on?

"Is that something I really wanna give to David?"

because to be quite frankly, yeah, I do,

I am disliking the way you're asking me these question.

Sorry.

Morning.

- Good morning.

What was your name again?

- I'm Ciara.

Ciara, David.

How you ladies feeling today?

Kind of stuffed up.

Yeah?

Just, I dont know if it's the dryness.

Yeah.

The heat and the desert dryness.

- Yeah, I think I need to lay down,

my head is kind of ...

Lay down, baby.

Crazy.

- I was walking around in my bare feet,

and got a prickly pear.

I stepped on one.

Uh huh.

- And I got all these little thorns in my foot.

And they're like, "We're raking".

And I was like, "You don't have to rake,

"I'll put on my shoes", "no, we're gonna

"rake this whole place."

I was like, "No seriously don't rake!"

It's fine, he's like, "No, you're our guest",

Rick said, "If you have a thorn in your foot,

"we have a thorn in our foot."

"We're gonna rake this whole place",

and they've been raking all day.

- It's all because somebody gets a little

prickly pear on their toe,

and next thing you know you're raking all day.

- This is an appearance release.

- I thought this was a handshake sort of deal.

- We can't, when it's a production.

Shall I got talk to him?

Yeah.

It's just one of those things--

- I get it.

We still have to deal with the real world,

and I'm not trying to be an asshole.

- Bring that stuff to me first.

Yeah, yeah.

- Before he brings it to--

Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.

- We want this movie to be in theatres.

- Of course but hey, but listen.

But keep your dicky in your pants,

and we can fuck next week.

And we invited you, we did, we asked you to do that but--

- The thing is we do need every single

person here to sign those agreements.

- That'll happen.

Course it could be just a film about

20 jerkoffs in the middle of nowhere.

Yeah.

- But if you're kind to us,

there's things that we understand and we know

that can really be mutually beneficial.

Do you want these?

Do you want to read them over?

- Yeah, listen I know what this is.

This sucks.

- Put it by the toilets.

- That's how we feel about it too, man.

You know that.

We hate this shit.

It's a lot of paperwork.

- I mean some people don't--

- It's just reality.

- Listen, some people don't even have addresses.

Where you gonna put the address on here?

I'm sorry, we don't need--

Let's put a signature on there,

and you guys can figure out the rest.

Yeah, and it doesn't say anything

except the you aren't gonna sue us,

and I doubt you will.

- No, we'll kill you before we sue you.

- All right, all right.

- If we can help with anything,

I know we're trying to, I dont know.

- Put this douche on a lease.

- I'm just kidding, I like you, I do, I really do.

- He's like that, he makes jokes.

He does.

You just like brought them out, or,

I wasn't around when--

Forget it, fuck it.

- Oh!

- Arm pit.

- Arm pit.

- You sliced his femoral artery.

- Dead man!

Dead man.

- Splittin' wigs.

Hey, where's the Pit

- Yeah, yeah hold on.

- Does it feel like there's something in there,

or is it just a pressure?

- It's kinda numb.

Hey Pit-Man.

Yeah.

Sorry, sorry, cut it please?

- We usually do a good breakfast and then a snack

'cause it's so hot out there that

you don't really wanna eat that much

in the middle of the day.

And then at night I try to feast

because everybody works so hard out here.

There's just

Yeah I noticed.

All these things to do,

always things to fix or create and

it gets hot and heavy.

- There is an interconnectedness

that's very real.

Living out in the wilderness you see the ants

move around and you see the way that

they're communicating constantly,

and they're feeding off of each other

and we're feeding off of each other.

So we work very hard to keep that in mind,

and so every action that I do is going

to affect everyone around me.

- On small levels we're all a part

of making this massive thing move, and

if the gears aren't taken care of individually

then it doesn't go anywhere.

- Trying to do it off the grid is

not the easiest, definitely gives you

an appreciation for our forefathers who

came out here with nothing, no jennies,

no electricity.

- Right. - No plastic to

cover their shitters.

This one is coming over.

You need water?

Yeah, yeah sorry.

- It's a place to regain your perspective,

a place to touch stone on,

to come back and relearn how to

basic needs in life, learn how to cook your food,

learn how to survive in the elements,

no distractions, no advertising.

People not advertising to each other about

things that are meaningless

to your personal evolution, not saying

that the world outside is meaningless

to personal evolution, I think it's a big

lesson on what not to do.

- The American culture, western civilization

which is in my estimation just sort of poisoned

the entire world is,

it's just all so much horseshit.

New York is just such the epicentre of it

of all the advertising, of all the,

it feels like you're in there

like a fuckin' lab rat, and everybody in there

is having all these social experiments,

and advertising experiments, tested out on them,

police presence at every turn, constantly

having to watch what you're doing,

and an arrogance to it, like a belief that

somehow it's the pinnacle of civilization,

it's the pinnacle of progress,

like it'll always be like this but

you take a step away from it,

and you come out to a place like this,

and you walk through the canyon

and you look at a mountain.

And you realise that the land doesn't

give a flying fuck what we call important.

- Well we've been going to the Burn together for years.

And then this was just kinda the next step.

It's now been three years, I guess.

Losing track of time 'cause I really

don't know what day it is.

And time just kinda goes through us.

So,

you know what I mean?

Yeah, absolutely.

I'm sorry, I think I need to move out of the sun

a little, because I'm gettin' kinda

Okay, okay.

- Funny with my...

I'm sorry, I'm getting a lot of

- Yeah, I see. - Feedback right now,

and it's a little overwhelming.

Okay yeah thank you, it's okay.

- Yeah, just, I gotta go.

I'm sorry, I don't know if it's just--

No, no, no.

- I think it by the camera, I think I'm a little sensitive,

and I didn't really shield today

and I'm a little. - No worries.

- So we sell the chimes.

We sell petrified wood mostly.

We also do sage bundles, 'cause there's really

great burning sage out here.

And if you've noticed, I dont know if you've looked around.

There's a lot of cows in the pastures.

And when the cows take shits,

there's a special little things that grows on them shits,

and we kinda dry up the things that grow on them shits,

and sell 'em.

Wow.

- Joe here is an Aukbash,

and he is really, really thick fur coated

in the winter time and so when it

gets cold he has no problem staying out

all year long with the sheep.

So they just ward off--

- Ward off coyote, any predators.

Ward off coyotes, yeah.

Mainly coyotes out here.

No problems with them at all.

- It generates revenue, it gives a lot of people

something to do, caring for the animals.

Eventually we wanna learn how to make

our own clothes, this is the beginning step of that,

it's a work in progress.

And here we are, you know?

- At the bare minimum, I think we could

make a documentary about

a different way of doing things,

and showing people that

this energy can be brought back into communities,

whatever that means, but just knowing that

there are other ways.

And there are other options.

It's something that is very real.

And it's something that is accessible to us

if we choose it, and that everything that

we do is ultimately, as we know,

by our own design, and this is what we

have chosen to design.

If we form a relationship,

and you wanna stay, if you form a relationship

and you like this place,

then I'm happy, you know?

If you come out here and

you demonise it, you don't enjoy it,

you think something's wrong with this kind of thing,

then I'm okay with it.

But the most important thing for me

is to give people the opportunity to

make up their own mind about it.

- I don't wanna come at you guys like a hard on

but it's very important to understand

that if this door blows open and comes off,

this thing turns into a fuckin' kite.

So you gotta really make sure that you

keep it shut at all times, and if the

door starts to come off, you gotta re-tape it yourselves.

Okay.

Sorry about that.

- It's important.

Okay.

- It's important.

Thank you.

- Sorry, I'm sorry.

The beard's growing out, my hair's growing out,

I haven't shaved.

Yeah that hair is

really cutting loose.

- You might be leaving me behind.

Where we going?

- We are going to the Ragnarok well.

Here we go.

- I think that some people are a little threatened

that you guys are out here just 'cause

it's, I mean you got a camera.

Usually everything we say and do

just kind of drifts off into the ether,

and you here you guys are recording everything.

- Yeah.

- Awesome.

- All right you're good to go.

- Yeah.

- The word "cult", I mean ...

- Yeah, give it a name.

We are.

According to the predominant paradigm

of what a cult looks like and what a cult is.

It's the cage of words.

You can wrap this place in a cage of words

and try to intellectualise it, and understand it,

but it's just an Alamo, it's to retouch

the human heart in a new different way,

not even a new way, to revisit a way

that has been lost in our contemporary society.

- A cult seems to signify to me

a unified belief system.

Which means a belief is attaching to something

that you have the answer to the unknown.

And one thing we definitely don't have is

an answer to the unknown.

Roos just passed out out here.

How you doing?

Yeah?

You okay?

Would you turn that camera off?

Why didn't you help him?

- Somebody--

Hey you guys.

Roos just ...

Oh shit.

He needs some shade.

- Pitman, get the camera off.

I didn't even know, I was like in shock.

I didn't even know I was filming it.

- No, it's not your fault.

They brought us in here.

So we get the cameras, we're supposed

to be shooting all the time.

Like what are we supposed to do?

- Let's be respectful though,

when they say "camera's off",

yeah I know we're supposed to be

capturing all the dramas,

but I don't want to ruin relationships around here.

I don't wanna-

- What I was, I think Pitman's had his

camera on 24/7, I don't think he,

it's like a thing, you get it in your head,

you just have it on.

I will stay I'm sorry,

he's really scared of things like that

and he was shocked.

And I don't know if he knew, you know what I mean?

I wasn't really--

- When something is happening out here,

when you're a member of this community,

you are officially part of the we collective.

Right.

- We take care of each other here.

He's just protective.

- I'm okay, it's just.

Living on the fuckin' prairie, you know?

Just part of the stuff.

Good, okay.

- Can we just have this conversation

without the camera for a couple of minutes?

- I'm now a little concerned about

Rooster.

This morning the same thing happened to Ricky.

Oh shit.

- He collapsed, he got up he was fine but--

Did you ask him if that's like

what it was, or it was just--

- He said it's so hot, he said it was the heat.

- You know, and how global warming is gonna affect us,

and scientists don't really know.

So who knows?

Next year we may not even see a drop of rain.

This broccoli is really confused by the weather.

Right here this is about to flower

so it's flowering and it's not ready,

so it's in this weird limbo state that

a lot of these plants seem to be in.

I just wanna ask you a quick,

there's a couple of people passing out lately.

- No, I think it's just the heat.

Yeah.

- I think I was telling you earlier,

usually it's hot for like three days,

and then we get like a spell of rain.

Everything cools off, this is just like steady,

steady heat.

And we've been dealing with it the best we can.

Yeah.

- Makes weeding a kind of pain in the ass.

Yeah right?

Yes, it was delicious!

- Great.

Darkness, emptiness, miners come first.

I accept that I will be at feast.

When I open my eyes, the hot breath of the beast

blows my hair back, we are eye to eye,

in bellows wants loud and long,

and it draws foaming with hunger,

I smile, but it alternates shape,

back in--

- This is something, I guess.

I dont know.

I dont know how much you guys are supposed

to know about this.

I'm surprised actually they played it tonight.

Our bodies froze in fear,

there's denim--

- There's some common links in this group

that some people have and some people don't,

and this has something to do with that.

You guys.

Did everybody have a good day today?

- Oh yeah. - Hot day.

Felt good, it was really hot, huh?

- Hot.

That's what I heard.

Yeah, right.

Well maybe turn in and

see you tomorrow.

- Good night.

Right here is the only thing

that ...

Ambition?

You wanted to see your friend Nathaniel?

You think he's been swept away by a bunch of freaks?

What intrigued you about this project?

What made you, what inspired to get in a car

based on a postcard, and come, what is it?

2000 miles?

Well I don't know anything about you,

you don't know anything about me so--

I know, exactly.

- Maybe me and you could--

I'm not judging you or

we wouldn't be out here. - I know you're not judging.

Of course not, but me and you can

quit the assumptions about each other.

I'm all about being friends, brother.

How you doing?

- I'm good.

How you feeling?

Yay!

Oh look.

Hell yeah.

- All right!

What?

- He propositioned me.

What do you mean?

- To come by and experiment in his tent.

Or in his yurt.

What does that mean?

- Like sexually experiment.

Hey buddy.

- Yeah, no problem.

- That was a great interview.

My pleasure.

Where you guys going?

- We're going to make sure nobody's

stepped up in this cave and

dig it out a little bit.

What's going on here, buddy?

- Oh you know, just getting ready to

put another layer of mud on those ovens.

One of us, one of us!

Woo!

- Keep playing with it on the bottom, he said.

- My little child.

Oh.

- Yes, goes in the oven.

- And it was getting to the point

where I felt like I wasn't really gonna make it

out there, you know?

And I came here and I feel important,

and I feel loved.

And I don't get in trouble.

Are you gonna miss us

if you stay out here for the rest of your life?

- Yeah but, you know, depending on

how this thing all pans out,

you can come back.

Saw that lightning strike.

Yeah, those are our guys.

- Another townee.

It took 'em two days to get choppers out to that one.

There's only one chopping in fucking Billings.

Keep moving down the line,

the next guy will get what you miss!

What are we doing Riz?

- Stamping out, we're creating a fire barrier

so it can't move.

We burn it out here, it will burn back on itself.

Turn on it, so--

- Look at that lightning going on.

That's as far as it was away from us,

and you were over there.

- We did it, by ourselves.

One more.

- Where I am now as a human being,

I could say that I don't think I'll

ever regret anything that's happened out here.

So far.

- When I was interviewing Sugar today,

the spider, there was a spider inside of the teepee,

and he said, "I know you're not going to hurt me,

"but you're not welcome here" and he kind

of shooshed it out of the,

I guess I don't need this, Cotton.

He flooshed it.

- Flooshed it out of the teepee.

Wait, so he floofed it out?

So anyway, he said he floofed

it out of the teepe and he said--

Floof, is that a word?

Floofed.

- Makes sense.

- Yeah, spiders are not good spirits.

In every culture.

That's not true.

Yes?

Gentlemen.

- Yes.

Hi.

- Hi.

Hi.

- We are meeting out in the circle right now,

and we'd like you to be our guests.

- Okay.

- I'll tell you what, if that's difficult

I can take it and take control of it

Okay.

- and see if I can figure it out.

Is it on?

I think it might be on.

And this is like focus?

If there's a red light on, it's on.

That's focusing.

That's cool.

Yeah.

Wow, this is nice.

Have some fun.

I gotta get my shoes on.

It's just a giant eyeball.

Pitman was ready for bed.

This is going to be fun.

- David, please have a seat next to Adam.

Adam, please have a seat next to David.

We are trusting you.

It's time for you to start trusting us.

These are our releases.

- Thank you.

Sip, don't gulp.

Oh god, I'm moving here.

- Yeah well, welcome home.

Stilly!

Yeah, Kruck, it's time.

Stilly, let's go.

Okay.

Point your camera this way, brother.

Yup.

Yeah, come on.

Okay.

David.

Just keep the camera rolling.

Is your sound on?

Double check boys.

You notice that everyone

has not been feeling so well?

Yeah.

We think this is the reason.

Yeah, there it is.

Fuckin' weird!

What is that?

Oh man.

- This is why you're here.

Yeah.

Oh God.

- Stay up here, Michael.

- Oh God.

Holy shit.

Fuckin' A.

It's coming from there,

that's where the--

Jesus!

Pitman, over here.

Over here.

What the fuck!?

Can you hear it?

Fuck yeah I can hear it.

Oh my God!

This is where it's coming from?

Yeah.

- And the further that we dug it up,

the louder it got.

And we got to a point where people started getting sick,

and so we stopped, and that's when we called you guys.

Pitman!

Come on, Pitty.

Pitty!

All right, I gotta go.

- Okay you guys, people don't know about this,

not the whole camp knows about this,

so you guys can't just talk about it, all right?

- We're a democratic society - We wanted to bring them out

here so that they could see this,

so the world could see this.

- Okay, there wasn't a vote on this one.

- I know that.

- This is not a choice.

- You're not helping the situation.

To show us that thing?

- I'm just, I just wanted to know--

- Nobody knows about that thing except

for the people out here right now.

We voted on having you come in,

and they voted no.

But we did it anyways, because that thing,

- I'm trying to just--

- Is a fuckin' problem.

And we need to fix it.

- I'm just trying to tell them.

Stilly, not everyone is getting sick.

Yeah.

It's only certain people.

Uhuh.

Is that when, the passing out and shit?

Yeah, about a month ago--

Headaches?

After Nicky found it.

The headaches?

Yeah, yeah.

As you get away from it,

do you feel better?

- Yeah, it wears off.

It's very nauseating.

- Stilly, when we get close to that fuckin' thing

it feels like your cells are fuckin' vibrating.

It doesn't just, you don't just hear it,

you feel it, you feel it everywhere.

Yeah and there's some more information.

Okay.

- Not everybody knows about this,

we gotta go back in there, and we'll

talk about this tomorrow.

We'll talk about how we go about dealing with this.

Woo!

Hey guys.

Guys.

I think something's going on out there.

I heard ...

- It's really fucking early.

Yeah.

Yeah?

Hey sorry guys.

Oh no.

- Oh unlock the door.

Have you guys seen Ciara?

No.

No.

Uh uh.

No.

I dont know, sorry buddy.

No.

Did you see her last night?

But not this morning?

No.

- I can't find her.

What's up, John?

Maybe she went for a walk or something.

- Well she...

I went to bed.

She never came home, so I dont know if--

What?

- She was never was next to me at all.

- Ciara!

Ciara!

Get out of my face.

Just find her.

Quit filming and let's find her.

She out there?

- No.

Shit.

Monte?

You okay?

- I just got a bloody nose,

and I gotta shit real bad.

- She's usually here by now.

Where do you think she'd go?

- They're not doing too good, John.

What's wrong?

Nathaniel?

You okay?

- No.

Do you guys have a rag?

I need something, Rizzo's bleeding.

Yeah, just anything?

Really hurting.

Ciara's missing?

Are you okay?

- No.

Oh fuck.

Ciara's gone.

- Missing.

Rizzo seems really sick.

Hey buddy, you got a little blood in your ear.

Martha, go to Martha, okay?

Pitty.

- Ciara!

Yeah, it seems like something's going on.

Guys, can we?

Rizzo, what's going on?

Can we all come together here

and maybe figure out some sort of

search party thing, or?

- I have the flu or something.

I don't feel well.

Oh Jesus Christ.

Oh Jesus.

Oh Jesus.

You need water?

- Yes please.

I need water.

I don't have a glass.

- I saw her last night sometime.

Everybody saw her last night - Stilly.

- But I don't ...

I'm gonna go get a doctor.

I'm taking your van, I'm going to the doctor.

She could have gotten sick and gone off.

What the fuck is going on?

I have no idea.

I think we all have food poisoning.

It's gotta be something we ate.

I ate the same thing, I feel fine.

Turn the shower on your head?

Yeah, yeah.

Put the shower on his head.

Jesus Christ.

Drink this buddy.

Your head hurts really bad?

Drink.

Are you fucking serious?

Come on!

Shit.

Okay, okay. - It's too late for that!

Come on, come on buddy.

Let's go.

Come on buddy.

Just stay with me, keep your eyes open.

Ciara!

We need to make sure everybody--

- It's not working.

It's not turning over.

Oh Jesus.

It's getting worse.

Ciara!

Is it working?

None of the cars are fucking working?

What's up?

Are you gonna go for help?

Yeah.

Get him some water.

- I feel exactly the same way

that everyone here has been kept

out of the loop would feel.

Who knew?

For that we are beyond apologies.

What do we do?

- We get outta here.

We need to get out of here.

I will stay back with John and whoever else needs to

and we will find Ciara.

People need to get their shit together,

only the necessities

and start moving towards Mosby.

- We need to stay calm.

This thing is something that's above us.

It's something is beyond what we can understand.

We're all in this together.

It's everybody who had the dream.

You okay?

- Yeah, just let me get a breath.

Nathaniel,

what did he mean the dream?

Is that him up there?

Oh shit, go, go.

Where?

Go, you guys go get 'em.

Andy!

Andy!

Aw fuck!

Fuck!

Andy, Andy!

I'll get his legs.

Jesus.

Hey!

- No, no, help please.

- Oh Jesus.

Come on!

We gotta get him laid down.

He's bleeding.

What do we do?

Wait.

Where are you guys going?

I got some water here.

- I have to go.

No.

- I have a baby, I have to go.

- You guys, get them.

Here's some water.

Put your head over there, put your head over there.

You have the baby.

The further we go, the worse it got!

- Rizzo, I can't--

- The further away we go, the worse it go!

Please.

Here, here.

Can you drink some water?

Someone's gotta follow them.

Slowly.

What happened?

Where you going?

Don't go!

You can't go!

No, come back!

Okay listen.

Was it the tone?

I have a baby, I can't ...

It's gonna get worse.

- It's the tone, it's the dream, it's in the cave.

It's happening.

Everything that we fuck around with,

it's happening.

I don't know.

And it started a month ago.

- It started a month ago.

Rick, what dream?

- There's fifteen people here who have had the same dream.

It has to do with that skull that's up there.

I just think that we need to stay calm.

I'm not gonna go.

- Monte's gonna walk you.

Monte will help you, okay?

- I don't wanna go.

- Pitman and Stilwell were okay.

They were fine, they were completely fine.

We're gonna have to get anyone who can leave

pack together, water, we need to go get help.

Get to Mosby, there is an emergency phone at Mosby.

Get to Mosby, call, get people out here.

I know it's okay, listen, listen, Kyle,

Kyle, you're gonna have to get her out.

Get the stuff that you need.

Get the stuff that you need, and Kyle,

gather everyone at the road, make sure

they're all together and go together.

Take care of them.

Anyone's who's not going--

They need water.

- Gather all the water in smaller jugs.

They're all gonna leave, they're gonna walk.

It's 41 miles, they got enough water,

there's enough shade along the way.

But it's gonna be 24 hours before anybody

comes in to get us.

Okay.

- It's more like 36, man.

40 miles?

None of them are prepared for that kind of hike.

Come on, we're here!

- I tried to tell her ...

- Shit.

- Can we fold these blankets right here

since they're here?

Here, I got a pillow.

Okay yeah.

Hey y'all, take your boots off.

Get a rag on her belly.

- Shh shh.

- We need shade for them.

We need shade for them.

Hey, it's okay, it's okay.

You don't know what the hell's going on, Tyler.

- Mikey please, nobody knows what the hell

is going on, okay?

I don't need you to tell me.

Mikey, now is not the time for you to

start telling people information...

Let her get better and then they can see this.

We'll talk about how they see this.

This is the first...

We'll talk about how they see this.

We'll talk about how you see this.

I know it's important, we'll talk about how you see it.

Did you have this dream?

- I never had the dream.

You didn't have the dream?

- Mm mmm.

And I know about the dream.

- I first had the dream when I was seven.

And at the same time I was friends with Karen.

- We

kept it quiet from everyone in our lives

that we've shared, we just assumed we

were some sort of cosmic twin.

- When we were younger we were in a friend's basement

and she was drawing a picture that

I recognised from the dream.

- Cut to Burning Man.

Another person, another person, another person.

- The more and more we started finding out

that people had had it too.

- Go on a website, it's a blog.

Five more people.

- I guess we had a kind of a mission.

I didn't choose this, we were chosen.

- Part of my dream is I was,

I was in a shack--

- This young person without any genitals,

without any nipples.

Not even a belly button.

- Have people been discussing the dream openly?

- It morphs between this pitbull and ...

- A beast, a bear.

- It's like a shape-shifter, it can take many forms.

- And then the bear actually services us.

- It's the end of the fear and beginning of this path.

- After light years and aeons of walking with this,

this creature, our guide, our friend, our mentor,

he dies at our side.

- And it decomposes right next to me.

- What's left of him instead of bare bones

is this giant Tyrannosaurus Rex skull.

- It's this T-Rex skull in this cove.

- With ancient etchings in his teeth.

But we've never figured out what those mean.

- It looks

exactly like it looks up in that cave.

- That is the reason I sent the postcard.

It's a physical manifestation of

one of the main images in this dream that we've had.

- And at the end of that dream,

we're gone.

- I just wish I never had it.

I wish I never had this dream.

- We didn't know how it was gonna play out.

And we needed someone here

to see how it was gonna play out.

Well, I'm gonna let you

get some rest.

- Okay.

Okay?

- Can I...

Can I say something to my mom

Yeah.

♪ At night I go to sleep ♪

♪ My lord angel's watching over me now ♪

♪ I pray the lord my soul to keep ♪

♪ Angels watching over me ♪

♪ All night all day ♪

♪ Angels watching over me now ♪

♪ All night all day ♪

♪ Angels watching over me ♪

♪ Angels ♪

Goodnight angel.

John?

It's Ciara?

- Oh it's definitely Ciara.

Yeah?

We've got something to show you, come here.

She doesn't leave?

John I think we ...

- Last night, I set up a camera on a tripod

to film a time-lapse of the cave,

and we found this.

So right there that's Ciara on the edge of the frame there.

And she walks towards the cave, I'll just play it,

hold on.

Okay, she's walking towards the cave.

And she takes off her clothes and,

hang on I'll fast forward.

There, she goes in the cave.

Look at this.

There's a flash.

She doesn't come out, Johnny.

No, no, no!

Hey Johnny!

- Weird.

It's all fucked up, man, you should ...

They're asking about you, we'll hang here.

Go down there, get some food, water.

Seriously, okay?

- One of its teeth is glowing.

What do you mean?

John.

It's true.

It's so loud.

What is that?

What is that?

Look.

You see that?

Yeah.

On the tooth, on the back tooth.

It's making a noise.

Jesus.

Oh Jesus!

I don't think you guys should be down there.

All right I'm gonna go back up.

Should I just go?

We're going.

Ah, it's like inside your head!

I don't think you should be down there.

Pitman!

Be careful dude.

Oh my God, it is so loud.

She dug it out!

It looks like a crystal, like a glowing crystal.

What?

Don't touch it.

I don't think we should be here.

Okay I'm coming up.

You guys gotta help me up.

Okay.

Coming.

You guys gotta help me outta here.

Can I tell you something?

Yeah.

I'm scared.

I know.

We can't let them see that,

they're all way more scared than we are.

There's a weird thing going on in their fucking brains.

I dont know.

They need sleep, it's like crazy.

They just need to sleep.

I mean, it's been a long fuckin' day,

I'm feeling amped up myself.

Yeah.

There's something weird going on

with them that they can't leave.

Maybe if the day passes, it was a crazy fuckin' day.

They've passed out before, they've gotten sick,

and then gotten better.

Maybe if they wake up in the morning, they'll be fine.

You know?

Don't you think that we should tell them though?

That's probably what is going on.

That's probably why everything is happening.

- Yeah.

What is telling them going to do?

Yeah, look at how exhausted everybody is,

in every way, at this moment,

is that gonna do any good?

- I think that we should set up cameras

at different points, and just if anything happens,

if Ciara comes down,

if anyone else leaves we'll be able to see it.

- The help we need to perform is here now.

We need to put these cameras up.

Need to make sure Reid and Martha

are checking on people, Reid is checking

these yurts so they don't fly away.

What was with that storm today?

Have you ever seen anything like that?

And that tone, that noise.

Yeah.

- Well the noise is obviously the weird thing.

- What happened today, they almost died,

our cars won't start, a storm hit

that ripped open a yurt, 40 mile per hour winds.

A glowing tooth, someone disappeared.

It's a lot of crazy shit in one day.

I know.

- I'm done.

Bury that fucking skull, bury it.

What?

- Karen!

I woke up in my yurt and Katie wasn't there!

Check your camera.

It's still rolling.

Rizzo.

Rizzo!

This is Sugar's.

Nathaniel!

Nathaniel!

Nathaniel!

I don't think we should go in there!

Adam, I'm serious!

What's in there?

What's in there!?

It's empty.
