The Amateur

By Matthew Cline and Ross Bradley

First Draft

2.

September 11, 2013 FADE IN: 1. EXT. A BACKYARD IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA - DAY. A makeshift film set is set up. There are about 5 guys standing around a low quality camera, a guy has a clapper drawn on his hands. There is lighting expert with flashlights. A cooler labeled craft services. A lawn chair with a sign taped on the back says, DIRECTOR/PRODUCER/STAR/ROSS ROSS (18) sits in the chair, your average recent high school grad, is about to film the last shot of his most recent movie, it is a dramatic walk into the distance. ROSS Quiet on the set! Speed! Marker! Action! As ROSS walks away from his CAMERA and begins to act fight another ACTOR, behind him a SHIRTLESS DUDE on a riding lawnmower starts driving through the shot, dancing to music he is listening to in headphones. CUT TO: 2. INT. THE INTERVIEW CHAIR. One of those confessional rooms from reality shows. ROSS (TALKING HEAD) I read somewhere on the internet that all it takes to make a movie is a dream and the unflinching passion to make it happen. I quickly realized it took a camera and money. CUT TO: EXT. THE BACKYARD. The DUDE on the LAWNMOWER pulls out of the shot just before ROSS turns around. ROSS gives finishes off with a kick and sneer. ROSS Cut! I think that was perfect. CUT TO: Title Card: THE AMATEUR

3.

3. INT. ROSSS WRITING ROOM. This is an unfinished bathroom sized room in his parents basement. ROSS is paging through his SCRIPT for Poker Daze 2: Poker Weaks Its obviously staged- like a news story where they use b-roll of a guy swiping his security card and walking into his office. INTERCUT. THE INTERVIEW CHAIR. ROSS (TALKING HEAD) This is the script that I wrote for the movie that I intend to produce, direct, and star in that will hopefully secure me a spot in the St. Mark John Peters Liberal Arts and Technical Alternative Film Sciences program. Its a sequel to the first Poker Daze movie that I wrote, produced, and starred in. Its good. Really good. And everyone knows that the script is the most important part of the movie. Except for the movie. ROSSS WRITING ROOM. ROSS writes the SCRIPT on a TYPEWRITER. ROSS (TALKING HEAD) Writing is a lot like the fermentation process. It gets better with time.
Unless its really good- in which case, if wine is anything like my writing, it should only take about two hours.

5. EXT. ROSSS MAILBOX - DAY. ROSS takes a MANILA ENVELOPE to his mailbox. ROSS (TALKING HEAD) I know no script is perfect in its first draft, but mine has the most crucial thing- a hilarious pun for a title. Ross holds up the script which the title boiler plate says Poker Daze TOO: POKER WEAKS Ross packages in manila envelope. CUT TO:

4.

6. EXT. ROSSS MAILBOX - DAY. ROSS pulls his SCRIPT out of the mail. He tears open the ENVELOPE and starts to page through it. We see that the SCRIPT is covered in red ink. ROSS (To camera) Im not sure if this is standard editing procedure, but it looks like she circled everything she liked in red. ROSSS WRITING ROOM. A PRINTER prints a copy of the SCRIPT as ROSS binds a copy. INT. AN ELEMENTARY CLASSROOM. MRS. JOHNSON, a 4th grade teacher, sits at her desk. SUPERIMPOSE: MRS JOHNSON, TEACHER and Founder of Script Kidz MRS. JOHNSON (TALKING HEAD) I am always really impressed when young children try to make a movie. I mean, most of the kids in my class have no aspirations to write a feature length script. That is why I started the Script Kidz foundation- so ten year olds like Ross could get exposure to writing, and by writing, I mean basic sentence structure. CUT TO: 7. INT. LUTHERAN CHURCH BASEMENT. ROSS (TALKING HEAD) Im really glad the Lutheran Church agreed to let me hold this Affordable Actors meeting in the basement- I call it AA for short.

5.

8. INT. A NONDESCRIPT BASEMENT. An Alcoholics Anonymous Meeting, with a banner that says A. A. It works if you work it! above this a banner reads: All are welcome! Come unto me all who are weak and heavy laden There is a group of people sitting in a circle, ROSS stands up to introduce himself. ROSS Hi, Im RossENTIRE GROUP Hi Ross. ROSS Im here to present you with a tempting opportunity, something you may find intoxicating. Im going to push you pretty hard- some of you will be close to blacking out by the end. But if youre interested, well do as many shots as it takes. EXT. OUTSIDE THE CHURCH. ROSS (TALKING HEAD) So they kicked me out pretty quickly- I wasnt even able to do auditions. They said they dont take kindly to enablers. CUT TO: 9. EXT. LEROYS HOUSE. ROSS gets out of his CAR and goes up to ring LEROYS DOORBELL. LEROY (30) a bit a a local celebrity answers. He dresses disheveledly because he can. His house is small, but progressive. Leroy is disappointed to see Ross. This is a familiar exchange. LEROY (sighing) What do you want me to donate my voice and/or likeness to this time?

(CONTINUED)

6.

ROSS I need you to narrate my latest entry in the Poker Daze franchise. LEROY Do you at least have a legitimate film crew this time? ROSS Er...I could use your help with that too. INT. THE INTERVIEW CHAIR. LEROY (TALKING HEAD) Yeah we are cousins. Ever since I created the hit PBS show Fields of Oppurtunity: The Corn Story, Ross has been taking advantage of my ties to the media production industry. CUT TO: 11. EXT. A CORN FIELD. LEROY is on set introducing an episode of Corn Stars. LEROY The price of corn is on the rise, we review harvesters head to head, a Billy Mays maize maze, and much more- all this week on Corn Stars. CUT TO: INT. THE INTERVIEW CHAIR. LEROY (TALKING HEAD) I like to give him a hand from time to time- because thats... what second cousins... do. At least its not farming. Farming is boring. You have no idea.

7.

12. INT. LEROYS HOUSE. LEROY Ok man, My unpaid college interns need 8 hours of industry experience to get credit for a class... We have recently found out getting me coffee doesnt count. Leroy nervously glances at the camera. ROSS Its only a 2 and a half hour movie, that will be plenty of time. LEROY And I will certainly not let you or them touch any PBS property or production equipment, so youll have to provide all your own gear. ROSS Im all over it. One more thing, I am starting to realize making movies is a lot easier when you have some one explain all the major plot points to the audienceLEROY (Cutting him off) You want me to narrate it. Sure. ROSS Thanks cous, you get me. LEROY Its what else would you expect from your thirdish cousin. CUT TO:

8.

12. INT. ROSSS HOUSE - DAY. ROSS is on the PHONE. Ross is setting up chairs around a pool table. There is a pile of scripts in the middle of the table. The door to the writing room is open in the corner. ROSS Hey man, just wanted to remind you- we have a script this time, and were doing the table read at three. . . oh, youre busy. Yeah, youre not the first. ROSS slams down the PHONE. He runs his hands through his hair nervously. INT. THE INTERVIEW CHAIR. ROSS (TALKING HEAD) For this sequel I wanted to do everything 100% correct. Thats why Im doing a table read. Ill be the first to admit that Poker Daze had its share of mistakes... CUT TO: 12. INT. A DINING ROOM SET FROM POKER DAZE - EVENING. This is footage from the first film. ROSS and JENNA are eating dinner. As JENNA speaks, someone walks through the shot. JENNA Ross, youre my brother and I love you. ROSS I love you too sister. JENNA We need to figure out a way for you to play in the World Series of Poker. ROSS Yes, we do. A CEILING TILE falls onto the food in between them. JENNA is surprised, but ROSS motions for her to keep the scene going. (CONTINUED)

9.

JENNA Cause you really know when to hold em and know when the fold em. ROSS (winks) And I know when to walk away and never run. A BOOM MIC drops into the shot, brushing across his face. JENNA All of this gambling has got you worked up and confused. ROSS Im in a poker daze. CUT TO: INT. THE INTERVIEW CHAIR. ROSS (TALKING HEAD)
And by mistakes, I mean mistake. Casting my ex-girlfriend. It was my first movie and I wanted us to have as close of a relationship onscreen as we did off. She played my sister.

CUT TO: INT. THE INTERVIEW CHAIR. JENNA (TALKING HEAD) I really love movies. Ross was heartbroken when I had to end things between us, but I hope I can still be in the sequel. If I have to I can always date him while we act in it. ROSS (TALKING HEAD) No, I havent told her. After we broke up I finally felt ok with writing her out of PD2:PW. Its subtle and organicI daresay even poetic. CUT TO:

10.

13. THE SCENE IN PD2:PW. Ross is praciting shuffling cards. An rushes in to the scene. Ross feigning shot flutters all the cards at the camera ACTOR Your sister was killed in a car accident. Ross flips the table. ROSS (monotone) Noooooo.. CUT TO: INT. THE INTERVIEW CHAIR. ROSS (TALKING HEAD) I was worried without her, the next film would loose its sexual tension. So I turned to an old friend. CUT TO: EXT. ROSSS HOUSE. COLE pulls up in a flashy CAR. He is wearing SUNGLASSES. He gets out of the car and is immediately hamming up for the camera. He puts his arms out to give ROSS a hug, but keeps looking into the camera. THey walk toward where the staging area is. COLE Is it hot out here, or is it just me? ROSS Hey man, great to see you! Will you do my movie?! COLE Movies stars get the hottest chicks. CUT TO:

(CONTINUED)

11.

ROSS (TALKING HEAD) Cole is the hottest man I have ever met, or even seen. I think I first knew it when my girlfriend of two years broke up with me and was with him next, there may have been some over lap. / Id just bought a ring. CUT TO: 14. INT. ROSSS CAR. ROSS is driving with a BAG of groceries in the passenger seat. ROSS I just went to get some more lil smokies for the table read. If there is one thing my mom taught me, it was to never run out of smokies. I want this thing to be just like a super bowl party, but with reading . . . everyone should be there ready to go when I get back. CUT TO: INT. ROSSS HOUSE. ROSS walks into the house with his BAG. ROSS Alright everybody, welcome to the table read of Poker Daze 2: Poker Weaks, Im glad youre all hereThe ROOM is empty. There are a bunch of SNACKS on the TABLE. CUT TO: ROSS eating the FOOD alone. CUT TO: ROSS putting the remaining FOOD away. ROSS Today went okay. It was pretty much like every Super Bowl party Ive ever had. FADE TO:

12.

INT. ROSSS HOUSE. ROSS is sitting on a COUCH with his LAPTOP. ROSS Every good movie needs more than just a table read and craft services. It needs stuff like viral advertising, Kevin Spacey, and a punch line. ROSS picks up his PHONE and dials. ROSS V. O. I was fortunate enough to stumble upon Mr. Spacey at a place we both frequentCUT TO: INT. THE INTERVIEW CHAIR. ROSS (TALKING HEAD) the internet. And by that I mean his number on a message board. I think of us as friends though, I him all the time. CNTD I found still call CUT TO: INT. ROSSS HOUSE. ROSS is leaving a voicemail. ROSS Kevster, Ive been thinking- were both men, we both have opinions and we both make mistakes. Now lets get over our differences and make this picture. Call me back, we start filming tomorrow. CUT TO:

13.

15. EXT. ROSSS BACKYARD - DAY. This is ROSSS set. LEROYS PRODUCTION CREW is there and ready to shoot. They are all standing around bored. They are sipping coffee and energy drinks and still unclear on why they are here. They are a motley crew of Technical College Students. ROSS begins his pre-shoot pep talk. ROSS Good morning everyone. I am really happy you all have the opprotunity to work with me. Please try not to screw this up for yourselves. Lets get set for the opening shot. CUT TO: INT. THE INTERVIEW CHAIR. ROSS (TALKING HEAD) Im scared to death, these guys are all pros and Im just an Amatuer. But like they say, youve gotta fake it till you make it. And berate till its great. CUT TO: EXT. ROSSS BACKYARD - DAY. The CREW is preparing for their first shot of the day. The EQUIPMENT is makeshift and of poor quality. They look confused and scoff at it. ROSS is taping BLACK CONSTRUCTION PAPER to the Handycam CAMERA LENS. ROSS (To camera.) This is how the pros shoot in widescreen. CINEMATOGRAPHER I just told you, thats not how it works. ROSS (Indignantly) Ok, tell me, who is the cinematographer here? (CONTINUED) CINEMATOGRAPHER

14.

Uh, me. INT. THE INTERVIEW CHAIR. CINEMATOGRAPHER I am starting to regret being here. I do need the credit to get my degree in videography. But I am starting to regret that too. CUT TO: EXT. ROSSS BACKYARD - DAY. ROSS Woah. Woah. Im the director of this crappy project. Yeah I heard how you referred it . Ross glares at a particular crew members who averts his gaze. ROSS (continues) And my film will be in widescreen come hell or high water. CINEMATOGRAPHER There is a fairly simple way to do this... ROSS Done. Boom. (Turning to the camera) There are a lot of jobs that need to be filled in order for a movie to be made. The cinematographer is basically a human tripod that moves the camera where I tell it to. Here is our sound engineer. (Motioning to the SOUND ENGINEER)

(CONTINUED)

15.

He holds the boom mic, skillfully recording the sound needed for the five point one surround sound in my future DVD releases. SOUND ENGINEER Were only recording one channel, how are you going to fill six with this? ROSS You mean how are you going to fill six? ROSS walks out of the shot and the camera turns to the sound engineer. He is holding a MIC taped to a MOP HANDLE. SOUND ENGINEER This mic is not plugged into anything and will never be used for anything. The shot pans back around to ROSS. ROSS Were a little short on actors today, so were just going to focus on the scenes that only I am in. Fortunately that is nearly half the film. Ill just pull in whoevers standing around if we need other characters. CUT TO: EXT. ROSSS BACKYARD - DAY. A GRIP is reading a line to ROSS from off camera. His heart isnt in it. GRIP Be careful, this is the biggest game of poker of your life. Im telling you this because if you lose youll be broke. I know you know how to play poker, but you need to run. A crew member walks through the shot as ROSS speaks.

(CONTINUED)

16.

ROSS I wont run, but I will shuffle up and deal. The SOUND ENGINEER texting and the BOOM MIC drops just past ROSSS HEAD. ROSS Cut and print. Thats lunch. CINEMATOGRAPHER This is digital...theres no printing. ROSS Nike. CINEMATOGRAPHER What? ROSS Just do it. SOUND ENGINEER Hey Ross, sorry but I think my mic may have dipped into the shot. ROSS Well edit that out. Lunch everyone! I got lil smokies! CUT TO: INT. THE INTERVIEW CHAIR. ROSS (TALKING HEAD) Yeah, I had quite a bit left over from the table read... CUT TO:

(CONTINUED)

17.

15. INT. ROSSS BATHROOM. ROSS is hiding during lunch, things arent going as well as hed like. His CELL PHONE rings. He looks up at the camera. ROSS I bet its Kevin Spacey. He answers running into a small bathroom What it do, Spaceman? He listens, his face drops. No, Im perfectly happy with my satellite television provider. A GRIP knocks on the DOOR. GRIP Lunch is up. ROSS Alright, lets do this! Ross walks out to make his movie. closing the door. The Grip walks in CUT TO: EXT. STREET in Front of ROSSS house- DAY. Everyone is waiting around. Ross rushes into the scene that has been set up. A CREW MEMBER is holding a HOSE ROSS Alright everyone, lets get this in the can. Cue, rain. The CREW MEMBER turns on the FAUCET and begins to spray water into the air over ROSSs head. It looks nothing like rain. ROSS Speed! Marker! Action! CUT TO: (CONTINUED)

18.

POV SHOT. ROSSS CAMERA. It tracks as ROSS walks toward it talking. ROSS Im on my way to meet with a big shot mafia guy. Im going to make him an offer he cant refuse. . . to give me the money I need to enter the world Series of POker BOOM MIC swings through the shot. The HOSE srays unexpectedly and ROSS is doused in WATER. He pulls a random GRIP into the shot and grabs a SCRIPT from out of shot for him to read. GRIP (Unsure) I am . . . Don Cabinito, king of the Mafia? ROSS Well Im here to tell you that I will play, but you have to pay ROSS is doused again. GRIP Play what? ROSS Poker. GRIP But you barely know her. (He chuckles) ROSS Damnit! Thats not in the script. Cut! CUT TO: CINEMATOGRAPHER Back to one?

(CONTINUED)

19.

ROSS No, I think we got it. CINEMATOGRAPHER You didnt the part of the scene that had the plot. ROSS Well add that in post. Print it! CINEMATOGRAPHER Once again, theres nothing to print. SOUND ENGINEER Hey Ross, sorry- I think I got the boom in the shot again, Im not used to this thing. ROSS I didnt notice, no worries man. CREW MEMBER Director, theres a Hollywood looking guy here! ROSS Kevin..! He takes off RUNNING. The cameraman follows him, shakey cam. They run around to the: 16. FRONT YARD where we see COLE getting out of a CAR. ROSS (Clearly disappointed) Oh. Its you. COLE Is it hot in here or is it just me?

(CONTINUED)

20.

ROSS (Immediately rejuvenated) Its you man! Boy am I glad to see you, Im in major trouble in terms of having an attractive movie- or a cohesive plot. COLE For sure- now where are the groupies? ROSS Um...were working out back. COLE THey have to meet me. COLE walks toward the backyard. The CINEMATOGRAPHER walks up to ROSS. Cole continues to the backyard CINEMATOGRPAHER Ive noticed several continuity errors in the scenes weve filmed so far. I made some notes that I think will be helpful in keeping the story cohesive. They begin to walk and talk. Also, I think it would be great to add a female poker player to challenge the audiences perceptions about gender roles in American societROSS (Interrupting) Whos the writer and director here? CINEMETOGRAPHER Um, you sir. ROSS Exactly. Go get ready for the next shot. They arrive in the BACK YARD and the set and Cole is deep into a story with the crew. (CONTINUED)

21.

So yeah so doing with sunglasses here or is

COLE she is like, what are you my friend? And I put on my and am like Is it hot in it just me?

COLE pauses for the expected high fives and laughter GRIP You already said that. ROSS Hey guys! COLE So Im all like Heather, think about this from my perspective. ROSS Cole... Thanks. Ive decided we should add a femaleCOLE (loudly whispering over Ross) What else am I supposed to do while your at work. Get a job, puh-lease. ROSS has stopped trying to make his movie and he is now enthralled with COLE. COLE I need flexible hours to maintain my quaff and love you full time. ROSS You are like a hero, you are soColes phone rings. He looks at the phone and answers it.

COLE Stacy youre free right now? I love you too. No, nothing important. Yeah, no its really not a bit deal. I am sure they can get it in post. (CONTINUED)

22.

Cole gives thumbs up to Ross, who is loves the boat of confidence. COLE Lates. Cole hangs up the phone. COLE Im gonna bounce. ROSS Really man? I was counting on you. COLE Sorry bro. Im hot and theyre not. Cole begins to walk away. ROSS Lates. CREW MEMBER I dont think youre hot enough to say later like that. Ross ignores the comment and calls the crew to attention by attempting whistle loudly multiple times ROSS Everyone, (failed whistle) I have an announcement to make! (failed whistle) Ive decided to add a female poker player. She will challenge the audiences perceptions about gender roles in American society. At first, my character will not be ok with it, but later I will bridge the gap thematically with a redemptive dance sequence. The CINEMETOGRAPHER is dumbfounded. CUT TO:

23.

INT. THE INTERVIEW CHAIR. COLE Oh yeah I would have been really hot in this movie. But my trust fund isnt going to last forever and I have to find a dependable way to girls hearts. Ill bet there is a book synopsis I can read or something. INT. THE INTERVIEW CHAIR. ROSS (TALKING HEAD) I know I said it was a mistake casting my ex-girlfriend. But this time it isnt. I need a girl, and she is one. CUT TO: 17. INT. ROSSS GARAGE. A DANCE SCENE is set up. An X is taped to the floor. ROSS Hey- thanks for coming on such short notice. Jenna makes eyes at the camera, pleased at how right she was about ROSS needing her. JENNA Oh, yeah, thats no problem. Hugs ROSS and pops her left leg up behind her. JENNA (continues into Rosss ear) I knew you would call. ROSS Well unfortunately your original character got cut during re-writes. JENNA leaves his arms at this.

(CONTINUED)

24.

ROSS (continues clearly wanting her back in his arms) But were adding a character called poker girl and thats who youll be playing. JENNA Sounds intimate. ROSS Our redemptive dance scene will be. Its where the audience will see that I accept females as members of the poker society. The Sound engineer presses an iPod and A SONG that sounds vaguely like Lady Gagas POKER FACE begins to play. CUT TO: INT. THE INTERVIEW CHAIR. ROSS It is difficult and expensive to get the synchronization rights required to use popular songs for use in movies. However, parodies are considered derivative works and are protected under the definition of fair use. I use a relatively easy method for parodying my songs. I just replace any verbs in the original lyrics with the word fart and boom! Parody! CUT TO:

25.

18. INT. ROSSS RECORDING STUDIO. This is the same room as Rosss writing room except that he is singing into a small webcam mic. We see the levels on audacity rise and fall as he sings. ROSS is recording his parody of Poker Face called Poker Fart. ROSS I wanna fart em like they do in Texas plays. Fart em, let em, fart me, fart it, baby, fart with me (I fart it) Love game intuition fart the cards with Spades to start. And after hes been fart Ill fart the one thats on his hart. Cant fart my, cant fart my, No he cant fart my poker fart. CUT TO: INT. ROSSS GARAGE. POV ROSSS CAMERA. ROSS and JENNA dance. We see the X on the floor and a CREW MEMBER on a ladder holding flashlights. ROSS motions JENNA to the X. ROSS I think- Look, Im sorry I ever doubted women could play poker. Its my own flawed personality that didnt allow me to see past your gender. I have a strong respect for your strong will and sassy attitude. Also, I love you. Now kiss me. JENNA (fake indignation) Are you serious? You did this whole thing to try to get back together with me? Im done with this! JENNA storms out. ROSS Cut. Thats dinner. Ill be in the bathroom. Jenna storms back in.

(CONTINUED)

26.

JENNA You have what you need for me to be the movie right? The DOORBELL rings. ROSS Kevin! Everyone, please do not spook Kevin Spacey. Do not touch him or mention Netflix. Ill do the talking. He runs to the DOOR, and turns to the camera. ROSS This could turn out to be the best day of my life, and a lucky one for Mr. Kevin Spacey. ROSS answers the DOOR. There is a LAWYER holding DOCUMENTS. LAWYER I am from the law firm of Danielson, Danielson and Daniel-san representing Kevin Spacey in a harassment lawsuit against you. I am here on behalf of the aforementioned party and am delivering a cease and desist order prohibiting further contact with and or discussion of my client or his image. Good day. The LAWYER hands ROSS the documents and leaves. ROSS is distraught. Jenna slips out leaving with the lawyer. CUT TO: INT. ROSSS BATHROOM. ROSS is hiding during lunch, things still arent going as well as hed like. GRIP knocks on the DOOR. GRIP Dinner is up. ROSS Alright, lets do this!

27.

19. INT. POKER ROOM. There is a TABLE set for heads up poker. The CREW MEMBER that ROSS made act earlier is seated. ROSS comes in an sits down. ROSS Alright everyone, no mistakes here- keep our heads on! SOUND ENGINEER Hey- wheres Spacey? ROSS He was stopping by to say that hes busy today, but hell shoot his scenes at home on his green screen and well edit him in later. SOUND ENGINEER Working with him is why I came. ROSS Speed! Marker! Action! CREW MEMBER I bet you the value of your house. ROSS I call. ROSS flips a CARD. CREW MEMBER Im all in. ROSS Can I get my next line? CINEMETOGRAPHER (looking at the script) Kevin Spacey enters the room in a dramatic fashion and give Ross enough money to call. ROSS bursts into tears and runs away as the SOUND ENGINEER drops the boom mic. CUT TO:

28.

INT. THE INTERVIEW CHAIR. ROSS (TALKING HEAD) Is the world ready for my movie? I honestly dont know. I mean, was the world ready for Mike Tyson to have an acting career? Was America ready for Barrack Obama? I know I wasnt, I voted McCain. And then Romney. CUT TO: JENNA (TALKING HEAD) Im not going to answer any questions about that stupid relationship- I mean movie! But I doubt, I mean I broke up with it CUT TO: LEROY (TALKING HEAD) If theres one thing Ive learned, its that you never can tell until the last frame is shot. My crew said it was a disaster. And do I think it was a good idea to film your film school entry piece like this, no probably not. CUT TO: INT. AN ELEMENTARY CLASSROOM. MRS. JOHNSON (TALKING HEAD) No, probably not. But Ross should be proud and thankful he had parents who helped him send this to me over the internet. CUT TO: INT. THE INTERVIEW CHAIR. CINEMETOGRAPHER (TALKING HEAD) Hey, college credit is college credit, but there has to be a better way to get it. Is the world ready? Well its not really a unique idea- so yeah, probably.

29.

CUT TO: SOUND ENGINEER (TALKING HEAD) If he gets Kevin Spacey that would probably help it out quite a bit. CUT TO: COLE (TALKING HEAD) (flirting with camera) Ladies I am an entrepreneur now. And I have all the time in the world for you, since I pick my hours. Wait what did you say, I thought this was for an online dating profile. CUT TO: ROSS (TALKING HEAD) You know, I dont think that matters. Because for me at least, its all about the journey. Its all about the process, the relationships we create. Its about the memories that weve made that will last longer than anything we make ever will. And even if it does suck, at least I did it. Thats better than not doing it right? But hopefully its good enough to get into film school. CREDITS ROLL.
