00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Welcome to Truth Hounds, a production of My Heart Radio.

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm Anna and I've been unemployed for two years now,

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: so I really have nothing going on. And I'm Kyle

Speaker 1: and in middle school I received the award most Enthusiastic

5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: to Learn. So that makes me pretty special. And that

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: is what makes us the perfect investigative duo. We are

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: two friends who love each other very much. But will

8
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: we love even more? Is getting to the bottom of mysteries?

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: All mysteries, short but small mysteries. Specifically, trust me, No

10
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: mystery is too small. No, no, no, Why don't you

11
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: trust me when I tell you we are ready to

12
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: sniff around? We are They're the Truth Hounds. Helloa, hey, Kyle,

13
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 1: who is this? I'm right behind you. I'm just kidding.

14
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: It's Anne. Are you okay? Are you okay? Oh? Hi?

15
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: Hi um. I'm really glad I caught you because we

16
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: actually need to talk. I'll be right there. Hi. Hi,

17
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: are you good. It's so nice to see you, so

18
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: good to see you. Oh my god, I can't believe

19
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: that we were where we were skydiving. I know the

20
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: last time I saw you, we were in the sky.

21
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: We were literally this guy. But now not only are

22
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: we on land, but we're also at sea, well not

23
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: at sea, but at the ocean. Yeah, it feels so

24
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: good to be back on land. I know, I mean

25
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: to see this. I feel like you could just breathe,

26
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, it feels good to sort of be

27
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: on land and I feel like I can breathe again.

28
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: You look good. Thank you. Honestly, I feel like that experience,

29
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: it was like it brought up a lot of interesting feelings.

30
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 1: First and foremost, it brought up a lot of fear.

31
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: I know, you know what I actually was going to

32
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: ask you because I feel like you're a bit of

33
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: a fear junkie, like thrill seeker. Yeah, yeah, I actually

34
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: wanted to know. We've never had a direct conversation about this,

35
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: but what what scares you? For me, my biggest fear

36
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: has to be like a rat, A rat, like a

37
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: like a rodent, A rodent? Yes, Because when I was

38
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: growing up, Um, once time we opened the toilet, the

39
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: lid was on and there was a dead rat who

40
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: had climbed through the pipes. What are you saying to me?

41
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: And climbed out of the toilet and then but couldn't

42
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: get out because the toilet lid was on. So I honestly,

43
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: my fear is rats. You're that's why. Honestly, if you

44
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: give it come to my house, which I do, you'll

45
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: notice the toilet limit is closed. That's right, Oh my god,

46
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: it is always closed. Okay, So what scares you? Does

47
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: that scare you? I mean, it is scary, but at

48
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 1: least with a rodent, I know what I'm looking at. Yeah,

49
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: I can see why you're afraid of it, but at

50
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: least you're like, Okay, that's the face, that's the tail,

51
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: that's where it's facing. That's where it's going to me

52
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: a cock roach. I don't know what I'm looking at.

53
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's its face. I don't know

54
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: if that's its side. I have no idea what I'm

55
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: looking at. So I'm going, what am I looking at? Here?

56
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: And I can't look away because I get in my

57
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: head and I'm like, I gotta know what side of

58
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: the roach that is. That's an interesting part of fear

59
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: that like, sometimes we're really afraid of something, but we're

60
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: so intrigued by it that we can see you to

61
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: stare at it even though we're being were freaked out,

62
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: except because we want to understand, Like what am I?

63
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: What is that? Yes? You know what's really funny. The

64
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: reason why I actually brought you here to talk is

65
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: because I saw a website. It's so funny. It's exactly this, Huh.

66
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: I saw a website that is mortifying and Kyle, I

67
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: literally cannot look away and I need to show you. Okay,

68
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: should we go and look check it out? Let's go

69
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: check it out? Okay, let's go. Episode two, Anna's website.

70
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: So we came up with a plan. I would sit

71
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: down with Kyle and show her this website that I

72
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: had found. It wasn't just any website. It was the

73
00:04:53,680 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: website for a scary and intriguing for film festival. It

74
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: didn't seem like much of a plan, to be honest,

75
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: but Anna did say it was intriguing and scary, so

76
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 1: I guess it was a start. I went over to

77
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: Kyle's house to show her this festival's website. Wow, I

78
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: wish you guys could hear the name of the festival.

79
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: It's good, but we can't say it. I mean, I

80
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: love you guys, the listeners, but I'm not trying to

81
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: get sued. Just Google, Okay, let me go, hold on

82
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: that sounds scary. It was. Trust me, it's honestly better

83
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: that you don't know. Uh, film festival. Okay, here it is, Okay,

84
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: there we go. Oh my, what is that? So wait?

85
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,799
Speaker 1: What is that? Oh it's just like a film can

86
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: and it says, admit on, let me be your eyes.

87
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: What I saw was a website dedicated to not just

88
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: a horror film festival, but horror in general. The background

89
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: black blacker than the night itself. Lightning bolts darting out

90
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: of the top left corner slashing the blackness with violence.

91
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: Rusted wheels and mechanisms crudely lined the right hand border.

92
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: The website basically said beware and fuck you. The website

93
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: was cool. It introduced the festival and urged its the

94
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: sitters to submit an original, cutting edge short feature or

95
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: screenplay to participate, and it even featured a little video

96
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: giving its visitors a taste of the madness. Oh should

97
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: we play this? Oh? Is it in New York? That

98
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: was times Square wasn't actually prong where this was actually

99
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: a great point. The video did not make it clear

100
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: where the festival would be taking place and that that

101
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: would prove to be a big deal. But that's a

102
00:07:54,920 --> 00:08:03,559
Speaker 1: story for another time. That's Times Square. That is Times Square.

103
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: Oh my god, did you see that man climbing out

104
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: of the hallway? Yes, okay, where is this? I don't know.

105
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: Maybe let's go to about us about us. So we

106
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: headed to the about us page, which actually was the

107
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: main reason I had brought Kyle to the website. There

108
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: was someone that I wanted Kyle to meet. Disclaimer The

109
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: next part and some of the later descriptive parts of

110
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: this episode might sound a little bit weird. That's because

111
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: for legal reasons, we had to go back and alter

112
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: the original audio, removing any identifying details from the website.

113
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: We did our best to preserve the spirit of the

114
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: original text. Kay and I too close to the subject,

115
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: so we had our editor, Adam. It was basically a

116
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: hacker superstar take care of it. Okay, The optimum indie

117
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: film festival happening made outside of the very box that

118
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: has film festivals, and that seeks to create the tip

119
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: top amount of pizzazz, enticement and intercommunal participation for the

120
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: cinema creator and cinema lever um. So and actually a

121
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: submission does the submission universe of the previously unfamiliar wa

122
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,599
Speaker 1: so wait to see that. A submission to do is

123
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: a submission to the universe of the previously unfamiliar. This

124
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: is failed to remember other cinema happenings because you happened

125
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: upon the one that is inevitable. Wow, okay, and then

126
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: there cough these name really on it. That was all amazing,

127
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: but still not the reason why I brought Kyle to

128
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: this website. I finally got to it. Okay, this is

129
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: why I wanted you to see this website. Because the

130
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: festival director's name is Go ahead and say it. Okay,

131
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: I really wish you guys could hear this name. Trust me,

132
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: it's good, but we cannot share the name with you.

133
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: We do want to give you a little taste of

134
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: what the name invokes. So we'll just call him David

135
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: Scary Backromy. No, why are you signing because you're using

136
00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: a name that is too close to his real name Acromy. Yes,

137
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: that's too close. We have to beat, But why don't

138
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: we just use David Scary. Wait, so if it's beeped,

139
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: then it's going to be beat macromy. Yes, but David's

140
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: scary as well. Can we just call him beat Macromy

141
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: Then it's kind of cute. I like it. Whatever. Now,

142
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: when you hear us refer to this really intriguing figure,

143
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: we will be using the name Beep Macromy. Okay, when

144
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:42,599
Speaker 1: he comes from the Shepherd the shattering of the cinematic

145
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: happening industry by setting a blaze the original maps and

146
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: drafting new ones, which are avant garde to say the least.

147
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: Why immediately understood why Anna had brought me to this website.

148
00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: Beep Macromy, the director of the festival, looked terrifying. His

149
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: bio photo wasn't a normal photo, like what you'd hang

150
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: on a wall. No, it was twisted. Literally, it was

151
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: like someone took a regular photo but then tilted it

152
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: about forty five degrees on its side. The lighting scary,

153
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: dark blues, even darker greens. A doll sitting in the

154
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: corner for no reason. I mean, there wasn't even a

155
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: kid to play with it. Beep himself was wearing a

156
00:12:54,160 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: full face of makeup, white contact lenses blocking out his eyes. Yeh,

157
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: black lips curled into a devilish smile, as if to say,

158
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: I dare you to submit to this festival. I'm a psychopath.

159
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: You know that feeling when you look at something horrifying,

160
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: but you just can't look away. That was exactly how

161
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: I felt looking at beat Macromy's photo. Now Kyle was

162
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: getting it. And by the way, David scary enough Beat Macromy,

163
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: we agreed, okay, Beep Macromy, Hey, no attitude this season, Okay, fine,

164
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: or whatever it's worth. Beep Macromy. Didn't run this festival alone.

165
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: There was a whole team of people, and to be

166
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: honest with you, guys, that is what drew me into

167
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: the festival in the first place. You see on the

168
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: about us page. Beep Macrims freaky little portrait was followed

169
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: by a series of other portraits, which honestly got progressively

170
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: less scary. Okay, but then, okay, the next guy's name

171
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: is Then we just got his coordinated. She's holding up

172
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: a metal of demons. Yeah, this guy just looks cool.

173
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: This guy, okay, why but why does this picture look

174
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: like it's Okay, that's actually the scariest picture of all,

175
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: because just looks like a guy in his house. He

176
00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: took his picture by accident, without his shirt. Until we

177
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: got to the final staff member, an intern. I don't

178
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: know quite how to say this, but she looked normal,

179
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: not a single tattoo in sight, not a lick of

180
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: green hair dye. By comparison to the others, she looked

181
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: like a catfish. It was almost like they needed to

182
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: round out their staff photos, but ran out of people

183
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: they knew personally, like the words regular woman into Google

184
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: image search and found her picture. The point was there

185
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: was something here, something intriguing about this world. The sick

186
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: vision of this festival, the nomadic nature of not even

187
00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: having a physical location for it, the twisted cast of characters,

188
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: the woman who looked eerily normal and presiding over them all,

189
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: the ultimately deranged puppet master himself deep macromy This was it.

190
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: This was the investigation. We had to get to the

191
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: bottom of whatever this is? So Episode two? What is fear?

192
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: And why can't I look away? I know things are

193
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: getting really good, but we have to take a break

194
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: for some ads, and the ad break is over back

195
00:16:50,240 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: to it. What can we do to an investigate this

196
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: when we're not even sure what the this that we're

197
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: trying to investigate is. I can barely say this sentence.

198
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: How do you start at the bottom of something that

199
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: grows sideways not up? Am I going crazy? Kyle? You

200
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: are unraveling. We need to give you a little string

201
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: to hang on too, so that you don't get completely

202
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 1: lost in the forest of your thoughts. Wait, you're talking

203
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: crazy too. This website it was really powerful. But anyway,

204
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: I actually had an idea, but I at first needed

205
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: to catch Kyle up on the website and make sure

206
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: she was seeing what I was seeing. And clearly she

207
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: was seeing what I was seeing, So it was time

208
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: to share my idea. Remember, at its core, this was

209
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: a festival and it took submissions. I think we should

210
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: make a movie to submit to this festival. We get

211
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: to meet Oh my god, Oh my god, look at him.

212
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: Sure this was a way to get closer to this

213
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: world and meet the man behind the madness. But honestly,

214
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: I didn't know if I wanted to meet him. I mean, you, guys, listeners,

215
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: you have to trust me. Had white contact lenses and

216
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: look like he wanted to kill me. Who does that?

217
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: Anna was proposing that we make a horror shot film

218
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: to submit to this horror film festival. Infiltrate beat mcarmy's world,

219
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: meet him up close and see what the hell was

220
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: going on with him? M hm. It was a whip

221
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: smart plan. But she forgot one key detail. We knew

222
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: nothing about making a horror short film, or a regular

223
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: short film, or any length film for that matter, short, long, sideways, reverse, nothing, zilch.

224
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: My gosh, I just can god, I don't even know

225
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: how we would go about making a horror thing. And

226
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: then Anna got really serious. I guess because she's a

227
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: movie lover. Filmmaking is obviously a kind of big endeavors.

228
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 1: But I really think that with our unique perspectives and

229
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: kind of how much we think about the world and

230
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: how much you love get scared, um, I think between

231
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 1: that we definitely have a great chance. Okay, maybe we

232
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: hadn't suckled at the teet of academia. You no, let

233
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: me say this. Maybe we didn't fit into the cookie

234
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: cutter definition of n y U film grads. Maybe we

235
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: didn't have fancy degrees, maybe we weren't textbook. But here's

236
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: what we did have. Our unique perspectives, how much we

237
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: thought about the world, file's love of scares and frights,

238
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: plus one other thing we had heart. I was certain

239
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: we could pull it off. So he came up with

240
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: a plan. We would make a horror short film to

241
00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: submit to this film festival to meet beat Back Me

242
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: and see what the hell was going on there. We

243
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: immediately encountered a roadblock. Looking around the website some more,

244
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: we saw that to submit a horror short film would

245
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: cost us one hundred fifty dollars, And the thing about

246
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: us was that we didn't have a hundred fifty dollars. Kyle,

247
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: I totally hear you, especially because we don't have a

248
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: hundred fifty dollars. But that's just filmmaking. You gotta pay

249
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 1: to play. Anyway, we'll figure all that out later. Let's

250
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: just not even think about it right now. Let's just

251
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: get to the good stuff. Let's make a horror short film,

252
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 1: all right, Anna, But we're going to have to find

253
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: a hundred fifty dollars somewhere at some point. Plus what

254
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: about the budget of the movie. Doesn't that cost a

255
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: lot of money? Where are we going to get that? Kyle,

256
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: chill out? Okay, I just do think this will come

257
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: up at some point. But anyway, so first step, we

258
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: would need to come up with what the horror short

259
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: would be about. Me, Kyle, I love a good scare,

260
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 1: you know, like when a man goes to open his door,

261
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: but then we see that someone is right behind him

262
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 1: walking backward really fast, or like when a man goes

263
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 1: to open his door again a second time, but then

264
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: we see that someone else is right behind him, and

265
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: it's a different man from the guy before, and also

266
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: the man opening the door, and this new man is

267
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: actually so tall that his head kind of touches the

268
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: sea ceiling. It doesn't hit the ceiling because then you

269
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: would have to crouch, which is actually not scary at all.

270
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: And I would just be like, oh, you must be uncomfortable,

271
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: poor guy, and me Anna, I like any movie with

272
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: a social message, you know, the kind of movie where

273
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 1: a big city woman with curly hair comes into a

274
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: small town with her blazer and she goes into a

275
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 1: factory and she's like, when's your lunch break, and the

276
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: factory people are like, you haven't had lunch since the sixties,

277
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: and she's like, well, let's do something about that. And

278
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: she gets into her prius, but someone has actually spray

279
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: painted fuck war on the side of the door, and

280
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: then the mayor has cancer. Anyway, you guys, the listeners,

281
00:23:53,760 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: you get it, you know, something like that. So clearly

282
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: we had a lot of ideas, but we really weren't

283
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 1: sure how they were all going to fit together. I mean,

284
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: we weren't writers, and that worried me because if we

285
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: were going to get into this festival and meet beat Macromay,

286
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: we needed to make something really good. So, Kyle, how

287
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: about this? Maybe for now we put aside, you know,

288
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 1: the hundred fifty dollar submission fee, the details about what

289
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: the horror short film was about, and instead we find

290
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: someone who could just you know, put together everything for us,

291
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: a leader of some kind, you know, like a director.

292
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: So we came up with a new plan. We would

293
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: find a director to make the horror short film plore us.

294
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: Plus they needed to write it, and let's be on,

295
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: they should also fund ith. I hate to be a scrub,

296
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: but you gotta ask for what you need, and hey,

297
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: you know what, you should also be cool. That's why

298
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: we decided to talk to Lizzie. Lizzie was a friend

299
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: of a friends. Well actually I just I follow her

300
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: on Instagram, but she could be a friend anyway. She

301
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: looked really cool and I knew that she had directed

302
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: some stuff. Plus I was pretty sure that she wrote

303
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: some stuff. Plus she was gorgeous bingo. Anyway, we sent

304
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: her d M and set up a time to talk

305
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: via zoom. Good to good to meet guys. UM, so

306
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: kind of just to launch right into it. Um, So

307
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: we are looking for a director, um for a horror

308
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 1: short film. Cool. Yeah, that's kind of job. Yeah. We

309
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: basically found this film festival called the Film Festival, which

310
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: is like a prominent horror film festival. No, I've never

311
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: heard of the festival. Huh. We were off to a

312
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: little bit of a weird start because Lizzie didn't know

313
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: the festival, but that didn't deter us. We took the

314
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: opportunity to get to know her kind of Can you

315
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: talk about your background? Yeah? Sure, I'm a director screenwriter,

316
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: been working in the industry for about ten years. You know.

317
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: I've had short films that have gone to pretty prominent

318
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:05,719
Speaker 1: smuls Sunday and South By. Um. I don't really know

319
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: what those are, but it sounded pretty cool. I was

320
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 1: starting to think she was the perfect person for the job.

321
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: I have a I have a television show that was

322
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: on Showtime last year and produced whoa Anna. Did you

323
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: hear that I love TV? Yeah? I heard that. Sounds

324
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: great to me. This was going really well. Next we

325
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: let her know about our situation. Do you have no

326
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 1: budget at all. Yeah, so that's that is kind of yeah,

327
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: that's a great thing to bring up. Um, we have

328
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 1: not no budget, yeah at all. So and then also

329
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: what's kind of important is that we yeah, we really

330
00:27:55,560 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 1: can't pay you, um actually anything. Yeah. Lizzie really took

331
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 1: her time responding. Yeah, it seemed like she was having

332
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:18,479
Speaker 1: a little brain far you right, Well, I don't know

333
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: you guys, um so that you know, that feels like

334
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: a little I guess predatory. I don't, Um, it's a

335
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: little bit so I'm sorry. I just need to understand,

336
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: like you don't are you planning on doing like a

337
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 1: kickstarter or something like that is or you just like

338
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: how are you gonna you know, you know, equipment, like

339
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: there's you know obviously things cost money. Well we were

340
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: hoping that that's kind of your you know, like the

341
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: director that's like their things, so that that's what they

342
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: come in. We kind of come in with as the

343
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: talent um, the idea and the ideas. Um. Yeah, it's

344
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: just you don't really have an idea, right, So I'm sorry,

345
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to catch up, like get the full picture.

346
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: There's a social message, there's a social message there's just fear,

347
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: and there's fear, and then we are going to submit

348
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: it to this especials. Okay, guys, let's just cut to

349
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: the chase. It was a big note from her. Yeah,

350
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: it seemed like this person, Lizzie just wasn't down to write, direct,

351
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: and fund our horror short film. I know we just

352
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: met her, but she really made us feel bad. I mean,

353
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: she used the word predatory and people have been canceled

354
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: for less. Don't even go there. You know how I

355
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: feel about cancel culture. I do know that we set

356
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: our goodbyes. I wish you the best of luck. Okay, well,

357
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: thank you so much. Maybe it wouldn't work out with Lizzie,

358
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: but she did bring up a great point. We would

359
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: need to raise some money at least to cover the

360
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: expense of getting into the festival. I mean it was

361
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: a hundred fifty dollars. Lizzie brought up Kickstarter, and that

362
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: made total sense. As far as I knew, it was

363
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: pretty common for young creatives to crowdfund their project. Hell,

364
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: Zach Braft did it to make that awesome follow up

365
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: to the Garden State. I mean, I know, I donated

366
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars to it. I'm just one person. Yeah,

367
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of money would be great, and we

368
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: didn't need a lot. We just wanted to raise enough

369
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: money to cover the submission fee, which again was a

370
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: hundred fifty dollars. Didn't we need any else? M Oh,

371
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: I know, what about food right now? No, for the

372
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: day of the shoot. Oh, that's an idea. Yeah, I

373
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: just figured we might get hungry. How about we just

374
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: get pizza? But anna, you know I don't eat pizza.

375
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, Well, no worries. We'll just fundraise a

376
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: little more, and that way we can also get salad

377
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: for those of us who don't eat pizza. Thank you.

378
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: And hey, if we use Indiegogo instead of Kickstarter, even

379
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: if we don't reach our goal, we'll still get to

380
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: keep the cash. You're a genius. So that pretty much

381
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: settled the financial aspect of our problems. And now an

382
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: ad break. The ad break is over. Now back to

383
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: all this finding a director drama. I realized that I

384
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: actually did know someone. He had directed some stuff before,

385
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: and he would definitely work for free. Oh, he sounds perfect.

386
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: We arranged a time to meet with my friend Clay.

387
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: You want to do a spooky movie. Is that what

388
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: you're what I'm hearing? He already sounded awesome, but we

389
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: had learned the hard way with Lizzie that it was

390
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: very important to be upfront about your shortcomings and limitations. Yeah,

391
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: we don't have a script or anything. I think we

392
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: might hire some writers to do it, but we're thinking

393
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: that you would probably play the people. We're going to

394
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: do an Indigo Go campaign to raise the money to

395
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: submit to this festival, and so that's to submit the

396
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: film to get pizza and solad optional. Okay, cool. This

397
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: meeting was going a lot better than the last one.

398
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: Play really seemed to get what we were looking for.

399
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: It was time to get to the good stuff, the things.

400
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: We were very clear on our hopes and dreams for

401
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: the short. It just has to be as spooky as

402
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: possible and scares in ways that you've never seen before,

403
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: you know it. I think I see a lot of

404
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: horror movies and I really like it when the director

405
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: shows me something that I've never like, I've never seen

406
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: that like looks crazy woman's face before and that really scared.

407
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: So we're looking yeah, for a hybrid of I've never

408
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: seen a woman's face quite so scary and then just

409
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: to kind of really just you know, take it home.

410
00:33:51,240 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: You know it's going, it's going, it's gone, social social message.

411
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: I don't know how many times I can say this,

412
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: but this guy, Clay was awesome. He seemed perfect for

413
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: the job. Last he was willing to work for free. Well, Jay,

414
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: I'm really excited about this. We can make something really

415
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 1: sick and really spooky that also has um a social

416
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 1: commentary that's for the good of everyone. I was over

417
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: the moon with this guy. Before we ended the call,

418
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,360
Speaker 1: I pitched one last minute idea for a social message

419
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: and it could be really just like it could be

420
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,439
Speaker 1: the military drive. I don't really have a specific cause

421
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: in mind. It could be like let's not draft our boy. Yeah,

422
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 1: let's not get caught up in that. It could be

423
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,280
Speaker 1: I think we should really get our get our brains

424
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: and just mainly think about the spooks. Maybe, like let's

425
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: think about the spookies and then I just would love

426
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: you know. Later we taxon we go and don't you know,

427
00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: don't drive without a seatbelt or whatever. We said goodbye

428
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: to our new director. Well, okay, let's make some one.

429
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: That's all I have to say. We still needed to

430
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: raise money to cover the submission fee and pay for

431
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: the pizza and salad for the day of the shoot.

432
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: So we put together our indie go go campaign. Arguably

433
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: the most important part of an indigo go campaign is

434
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: an enticing video. This is it. This is us telling

435
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: the world why they should give us money. We got

436
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 1: together and made a video. Take one, Hi, start, start over.

437
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: Take two. Hi. My name is Answer Regina and my

438
00:35:55,760 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 1: name is Kyle Azzano. Okay, it's started it. Take three, Hi. God,

439
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: acting was hard. Once we had finished the video, we

440
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: filled out all the boring stuff. We're not going to

441
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: regale you with the details, but you know, stuff like

442
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: why you should give us the money, where the money

443
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: is going to, the perks, whatever. We waited a few

444
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: days to launch the campaign. We wanted to make sure

445
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: that it had eyes on it. I had heard somewhere

446
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: that it was bad to post social media stuff on

447
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: the weekends, just in case people were, you know, at

448
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: the beach. So a few days later I gave Anna

449
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: a call. I know you're driving, but I just wanted

450
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: to virtually press the launch button with you for indigoger campaign.

451
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I just can't believe I'm not

452
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: they aren't oppressive with you. But yeah, okay, let's do

453
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: a little countdown together. Okay, let's do one from one, five, five, four, three. Wait,

454
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 1: you're out of sake, Okay, I'm okay. Okay, on account

455
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 1: of three, will start an one? Oh no fun one

Speaker 1: watching our video and please contribute to our Indigo Go.

474
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: The next part even caught us off guard. Sometimes they

475
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: can feel like the world doesn't give a funk about you.

476
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: You're just a nobody, a speck of dust, just a

477
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: faceless body in a lineup of nobody's Kyle, are you okay? No, No,

478
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: I'm actually trying to say something positive. Okay, you just

479
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: scared me there. What I'm trying to say is that

480
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 1: sometimes it's hard to remember that you're not alone. In fact,

481
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: there's a whole big world out there of people who

482
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: are willing to give you money. What I'm trying to

483
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: say is that we met our Indi Go Go goal

484
00:39:55,920 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 1: within six hours, and then we went over our goal.

485
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: You see, we only really needed two fifty dollars to

486
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 1: cover the submission fee plus the pizza and salad. Well,

487
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: guess what, instead we made five hundred and nine dollars.

488
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: Now we had enough money for everything, and then some

489
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe we could even pay the director

490
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: like fifty bucks or something like that. This extra three

491
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: was the start of something big. Sure, there was a

492
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: lot of stuff that we didn't have figured out yet, like,

493
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: for example, the script, but it didn't matter. We had

494
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 1: all the money in the world, and meeting Beat back

495
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 1: from me didn't even seem like just a possibility. It

496
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 1: was going to happen soon we headed to the beach

497
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: to talk. I thank so much for meeting me again.

498
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: I mean, but it really is beautiful tonight. You know. Okay,

499
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: obviously we have a director now and we have money now,

500
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 1: but you know this isn't over. Yeah, it feels like

501
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: I mean, we just kind of decided what we're investigating

502
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: here and what we're trying to do, and it doesn't

503
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: seem like something that we can take care of in

504
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: an episode, not at all. I mean, this is we

505
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: haven't even scratched the surface. And then I guess I'm

506
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: glad that we're here to talk because I think that

507
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: if we're gonna meet beat macromay, it's going to take

508
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: quite a few episod zodes. I think I would agree.

509
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: But is there a way you could say that it's

510
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,720
Speaker 1: like sounds like a little bit more epic or something,

511
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: versus saying like there's gonna be more episodes. Just you

512
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 1: don't like that it's quite a few episodes. Yeah, I

513
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: just feel like there's a way of making it kind

514
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: of sound a little bit more like a little more

515
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: like like we're about to go on an epic journey. Okay, stars, Okay,

516
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: I can do that. Okay. So okay, So we're going

517
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: to meet beat Macrobon and it's going to take a lot.

518
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: But Kyle, look at me. Yes, can you look at me.

519
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: I'm looking at you, Kyle, as you're looking at me.

520
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you you're standing on the precipice

521
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: of something huge. It's a journey, and we don't know

522
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: where it will take us. We don't even know where

523
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: the festival is, so it could be far. This might

524
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: require travel. But I promise you, Kyle, I promise you,

525
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: we will get there no matter what it takes, blood, sweat, tears.

526
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: He might be weird. That's he might be weird. Yes,

527
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,919
Speaker 1: In fact, if I were a gambler, I would say

528
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: he probably gets he kind of weird, but we will

529
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: meet him. Is that good? Yeah? Okay, Well I just

530
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 1: think yeah, I think that's better. So this isn't the end. Wow, Okay,

531
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: we should go back Pullman. Do you want to go home? Yeah,

532
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:44,800

535
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,200

536
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 1: We needed to be with the acting community. We would

537
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: make a pilgrimage to the heart of Hollywood, the Hollywood

538
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 1: blok of fame. Is this some twisted house of mirrors? Yeah?

539
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: I think Lacksyde specifically. I was thinking, what if we

540
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,959
Speaker 1: needed that he kills us? Is this starting to feel
