okay good image oh great zoom

this new camera is awesome

I don't know.

I just think we can watch a movie anyway.

Especially since your parents are gone, we have a place to ourselves.

Maybe we can do something different.

Like what?

Should we have a drink?

Suda, you know I can't handle alcohol.

What are you talking about?

I have an idea.

but we've known each other for a long time since second grade

at least second grade you know we've grown up together

and that's good i i

don't know what i

think

Who's there?

You know, I think it's the neighborhood murderer.

So it's probably her. Yeah, I'm serious.

I don't like this.

I think someone might be out there. Okay, fine. I'll go check it out. I know

this

is stupid, right?

Anything? It honestly was probably just a wolf.

That's supposed to make me feel better.

Seriously, I think it's fine.

Please don't do that.

Okay, I'm sorry, but it's just, like, it's really funny what I do.

Not for me.

Hey, let's go inside.

I need to toughen you up, my friend. This is ridiculous.

Hey, Bri.

It's okay. This is my friend, Archie.

What's up?

Check it out. New camera. Oh, cool.

Do you want to come inside and hang? We're going to watch a movie.

I mean, I don't want to impose.

No, Jodi doesn't care.

Awesome.

Hey, Jody.

This thing is fancy.

I know, right? Yeah. It uses these little tapes so I don't have to lug

around the VCR anymore. I can go anywhere. And also, it has an extra

audio channel so I can put music. I can do titles. I can do effects. It's like a

whole production studio.

That's so cool.

How did you score this thing?

It was at the pawn shop on Lake. I had to trade in my old camera because it was

really expensive.

Yeah, I bet. So how did you pay for it?

Or do you just have rich parents who just, like, give you money whenever you

want?

I don't have rich parents.

So where did you get the money?

I subscribed to Columbia House Records, eight cassettes for a penny, with a

hefty monthly fee thereafter.

But I reneged on the monthly fee because the contract's illegal because I'm under

18. And then I resell the cassettes for profit, but only for the top-selling

bands who can afford it.

You see, America doesn't subsidize artists the way Europe does, so I

subsidize myself.

So you're an artist.

I'd like to be.

I'd actually like to be a filmmaker.

But if I'm going to do it, I want to go deeper.

You see, I love movies, but they always feel a little fake to me, right?

Like you know they're acting. But with this camera, everything looks so real.

I mean, this, what we're doing right now, this energy between you and me,

this could be a movie.

Wait, really?

Yeah, yeah, we can make a movie tonight. We just need a story. I've got all the

tools right here.

Yes, this is what we're doing tonight.

I thought you and I were gonna watch a movie. Why would we watch when we can

make, right? Yeah, exactly.

I just, I'm not really an actor. That's okay.

You can just play a version of yourself. You can even use your real name. We'll

just make it up as we go along, right? Come on, it's like jazz. It's like jazz,

huh?

Jinx! Come on.

Okay, is there a cool place to film around here, Bri?

Yeah, I...

somewhere.

So how do you guys know each other again?

We met at the skate park.

Archie here sucks at skating. I do.

But he has fantastic film taste so you know naturally.

I haven't seen you at school.

Oh I don't go to school.

I just moved here.

I'm kind of I'm kind of just out here you know.

I like the way you said that, Archie. What?

Just out here.

You know, it's kind of ominous.

Maybe we should make a scary movie.

So, uh, when do we start filming?

Oh, I'm filming right now.

No, no, I mean filming the movie. I think this is the movie.

Just three kids walking in the woods, filmed on a home video camera.

That's the movie.

I don't have it all figured out just yet.

I think we just have to trust the creative process.

What?

Over here. What'd you find?

Holy shit.

Whoa. Cool.

What the fuck is that?

It's like some kind of nest or a den or something.

Hey, come here. Come on.

Yeah, hey you guys got me again How

do you feel

That's what it feels like when you know you're gonna die

Great scene you guys great scene.

That was hilarious

Okay.

Really?

You don't feel it?

What?

He's awkward.

There's just something off about the dude.

I mean, he's different, but that doesn't mean... I think he might be dangerous.

Come on.

I'm serious. The way he's always hiding behind the camera, filming everything.

There's just... Something's not right.

You're being paranoid.

You're being naive. Honestly, I think you're getting a little drunk, and...

This is just starting to feel weird. I don't know what you thought was gonna

happen here tonight, but ever since Archie got here, you've been acting... I

didn't think anything was gonna happen.

I... I... Yeah!

I'm so sorry we keep doing that to you, but Elsa, it's really interesting.

Anyway, great seeing you guys. Good job.

Wait, you were spying on us?

He's not spying. We're making a movie, right? Exactly. And Brie, you were so

good. I could tell you were sensing ulterior motives from Jodi, and they

were making you uncomfortable.

But you didn't show it to me. You held it right under the surface.

Super subtle.

Really amazing. Great job.

Also, Jodi, so loaded.

You clearly don't want this guy here getting in your way with Bree.

But you know what?

You're not just an annoying teenage bro, because you might be right.

He might be dangerous.

The thing is, we don't know what's making you tick, because you clearly

want to get with Bree. That's not what's happening.

Is it not? I mean, it's super subtle, but I thought I sensed it. Bree, did you

sense it? I sensed it. Yeah.

It's so great. I just need one more take that focuses squarely on you.

Wait, you want me to say all that again? Yes, but I need you to go deeper this

time. I need you to be really honest with me.

Do you really think I'm dangerous?

Or are you just making this whole thing up?

Just so you can get out of the friend zone with Bree and into...

Joey, what the fuck?

Dude, get out.

Fine.

Fuck this shit.

Hey, you okay?

Yeah, it was worth it. You know, I can't wait to see that shot of the camera

flying across the room. So cool.

I'm sorry about that.

Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

This shot is so good. You look so cool in this light.

Um, I think I should have told you this before, and Jodi

too, but, um, I'm not really into guys, so.

Oh, wait, no.

I know.

I could tell right when I met you.

I just...

I just thought you were cool. You were like a little rabbit, and I just thought

we'd be really good friends. That's it.

I mean, it's not like I'm, like, capital G gay or whatever.

I'm just... No, no, I get it. I get it.

You're still figuring things out.

It's... It's confusing.

Yeah, I don't know what I am either.

Like, what? Like, sexually?

Or... Like... Everything.

Maybe Jodi's right about me. Maybe I'm... different.

Like, good different or bad different?

I don't know yet.

Okay, we can cut.

No, no, we don't have to cut. No, no, no, no, no. All the screenwriting books

say end the scene early.

Right at that moment where you don't know what's going to happen next.

Archie! Archie!

Hi, Jodi. Fuck!

Where the hell did you come from?

I got a great idea.

Me too. Stop fucking scaring me. I have a great idea for the ending of the

movie. Dude, there's no movie.

We go back to the animal nest.

You slowly walk up to it as if you're mesmerized or possessed.

And then I creep up behind you.

You're back to me.

You never know I'm there.

And then...

What?

You kill me? Yes! Yes! And here's the best part.

We take the tapes to the police anonymously, as if I found them, you

know? Like it's real, and it's some kind of found movie or something. It's cool,

right?

Here.

What is that?

It's a mask.

What do you think?

I think it's creepy as fuck.

But it's also stupid.

I also think your movie idea is stupid and that it should end right here with

me beating your ass into the ground. Cut to black, the end.

Respectfully, I don't know if I like that idea as much, Jodi. I mean, I want

to be a good collaborator.

Hey, you.

Hi.

What's going on?

Jody and I are just working on a new ending to the movie, and he was offering

me some constructive criticism.

No, it's okay.

It's for the movie.

Free, get the camera. Get the camera.

Is it real?

Keep filming. Yeah, keep filming.

Did you get the shot?

I did.

You sure?

I got it.

Oh, my God.

It's real.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Here.

Here's what's gonna happen.

You're gonna go to the police and you're gonna tell them exactly what happened.

I'm gonna leave town and you're never gonna see me again.

But I want you to have this.

To remember our special time together.

We'll always be friends.

We just can't hang out anymore.

Now I know this is a lot, but it's going to be okay.

You have any questions for me?
