Fourth episode of season two means production day is here and Anna and Kyle are ready to step into the spotlight. Their patience is tested, however, when shooting time takes a bit longer than they’d expected. Even worse: the film crew doesn’t seem to care about the pizza getting cold. Will Anna and Kyle finish the shoot before they pass out in exhaustion? Will anyone even touch the (small) salad that came with the pizza?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Truth Hounds, a production of My Heart Radio.
I'm Anna and I've been unemployed for two years now,
so I really have nothing going on. And I'm Kyle
and in middle school I received the award Most Enthusiastic
to Learn. So that makes me pretty special. And that
(00:22):
is what makes us the perfect investigative duo. We are
two friends who love each other very much, but we
love even more is getting to the bottom of mysteries,
all mysteries, short but small mysteries. Specifically, trust me, No
mystery is too small? No, no, no, Why don't you
trust me when I tell you we are ready to
(00:44):
sniff around? We are the the truth Hounds. Previously on
Truth Hounds, I think we should make a movie to
submit to this festival. Deep Macromy, the director of the festival,
(01:06):
looked terrifying. Yeah, he says, you guys are looking for
a short film script the horror short. Ana and I
were thinking about maybe meeting with an acting coach to
just really get our rolls down. What's the intention behind
the whoa? I think that I think let's go get
some shut I look, we get to be onset tomorrow.
(01:29):
I'm so excited, so exciting, really that I'm scared. I'm
really scared. It'll be okay, I'm here for you. Okay,
let's go. Okay, Hello, hey Kyle. Yeah, hey, sorry, I
know you just drove away from the beach, but um
(01:52):
there we just kind of need to talk some more.
I about the beach. But I'll be right there. Okay, okay, okay, else,
you should be careful. Hey, what is it? Thanks so
(02:16):
much for coming back. Oh yeah, I was like on
my way home, I feel like I thought we I
thought we should get home because of the shoot tomorrow. Yeah.
I know. I guess the shoots in a couple of
hours now very powerful. How the waves are today? Yeah,
we just were we were just here. Um, I mean
I don't know. I guess you left and then I
(02:38):
stood here and I just like we might actually meet
beat back room. I don't know. I got really scared. Well,
we don't know. Okay, I'm serious. We I gotta get
home because the shoot is tomorrow. Yeah yeah, yeah, okay,
I just felt like I needed my friend. I don't
(03:02):
do that. I'm sorry I needed you. No, it's okay,
it's fine, I'm fine whatever. I just needed my friend. No,
I can't leave it on that note. Okay, but I
have to go. I'm sorry, It's totally fine, just go,
It's I'm fine, I'll see, I'll see on set. It's fine.
(03:27):
We'll just from And how are you doing? Yeah? Is
that a birth? Episode four? What is Fear? And why
Can't I Look Away? Part three? So here we were
(03:56):
on the day of the shoot, meeting beat back from
It was still in the distance, but we had now
plotted a map which showed us how to reach him.
The road towards the film Festival unfurled itself beneath our feet,
(04:20):
and all we needed to do was to commit those
feet too, stepping on it. Whoa yeah, exactly as Anna said,
the shoot was upon us. All the different moving parts
were in motion. My house became a bustling movie set.
(04:44):
You could have mistaken it for the sound stage for
Meet the Goldbergs. There was a camera operator, a guy
setting up lights. The other actors would eventually be arriving
with bags bursting with wardrobe options, and we had already
commit the number of the pizza and salad place to
our speed dials. I have to say, I know that
(05:07):
there was an ultimate destination here, the film Festival, but
for this moment, we put aside our investigative hats and
trench coats and melted into our roles as actors. Before
we officially began the shoot, and and I had a
(05:27):
huddle with our brave director Clay to discuss the day's
game plan. Okay, okay, so this is I guess a
production meeting. This is like a um um yeah, production eating.
Clay jumped right in. Okay, so, gang, how long do
(05:49):
you think we have to shoot this? We were so
happy to be working with him and seeing him step
into the role of the director on set me to
see him in a whole new way. Honestly, he was gorgeous.
(06:13):
Gone was the bookish boy on the other end of
our zoom calls in his stead the sexy bespectacle mysterio.
You know the kind of guy who lives in the
Lower east Side. No, but I know the kind of
(06:35):
man who lives on the Lower east Side. Ha ha ha, exactly, Kyle.
You see, this was the kind of Lower east Side
man whom you might expect to find on the other
side of a door leading you to a dusty, obscure
jazz basement holding a glass of eye lay scotch in
(06:57):
one hand and apathetically tinking on an old yamaha with
the other. But it just so happens to be the
most beautiful music arrangement your ears ever, did hear? Yeah, exactly,
(07:18):
And he's holding a saxophone. Yeah, and a jazz record
plays in the background. Yeah, and there's a beautiful woman
draped over her shoulders and she's like, oh yeah, okay, okay, anyway,
(07:46):
now you see what we saw. Clay was amazing. He
had just asked us how long we hoped the shoot
would take. We thought about it, um um, I mean
as soon as early as possible. But I do have
four pages here. Yeah, so if we shoot from six
(08:08):
thirty to nine, maybe we even rest earlier. But I
just don't I just don't see that being a possible.
This was our first time making a film, so we
really had no idea how long it would take. Play
seemed to imply that would probably take longer than an hour,
(08:31):
but hey, even if it took two hours, it would
be okay. We were here to make a short film
and get into the film festival. This is our camera guy,
how long do you think this is going to take? Unfortunately,
the camera guy, Moses predicted that it would be more
(08:54):
like twelve hours to shoot the whole film, if not more.
In and I were not expecting that, not at all.
In our heads. It was like this, So think about
a movie. How long is one of those? Two hours? Okay,
(09:17):
so what's the hold up? Why isn't it taking two
hours to shoot one? Well? You know, I guess the
guys have to set up the lights and turn on
the camera. Okay, fine, but that takes what an hour?
So fine? Add that to the total. It should take
(09:39):
three hours to shoot a two hour movie. Well but anna,
you know afterward, I think those same guys have to
take down the lights and turn off the cameras. Fine,
so I ad another extra hour of cushion at the end.
Four hours. It should take four hours to make a
(10:03):
two hour movie. So what I'm saying is we're making
a three minute short. Where's this camera? Guy? Moses getting
twelve hours? I'm sorry, but again, what's the hold up?
Are we gonna be walking around the set going oh
and wow, look at that? And you guys ever hear
(10:24):
that one story about Orson Wells? Hey, what's this story
about Orson Welles? No, that's not the point. No, unnecessary
conversation while we're shooting, Kyle, keep it tight, you know what.
We're going to make the short in. Four hours before
(10:46):
we finished our production meeting, I had some news for
Anna that I hadn't shared with her yet. We got
an Instagram message and it's pretty crazy. I don't know
if you saw it, but it says I'd love to
screen your shirt at my festival. We'd love to screen
your shirt. Yeah, And I wrote back and I said,
whoa do you mean short? Good to clarify, we would
(11:09):
love that, and he said I absolutely meant short. And
then I said, awesome, Sauce, tell us when your festival is,
we will give you our short. Wow. He didn't respond
to that because he said shirt at first. Then Yeah,
so anyway, I'm saying it, We're definitely going to this
other one. Just to keep it consistent, we bleeped out
(11:31):
the name of this other festival as well. Hey, we're
not anyone's PR team over here. This was exciting, to
say the least. We hadn't made the short yet and
there was already a festival circuit buzz. Some random person
from Instagram wanted our short sight unseen in his film
(11:51):
festival Clay, it turns out, was not only gorgeous but wise.
He imparted some wisdom. Well, I just say, let's keep
our eyes from the price here, because I don't know
if I can miss out on this other festival. Clay
was right, we were getting ahead of ourselves by thinking
(12:12):
of other film festivals. We didn't need to because we
had a great film festival to look forward to, the
Shop Film Festival. Sure we hadn't made the movie yet,
but I had a great feeling. I could literally imagine
us rolling up to the festival. Kyle and I would
(12:40):
look just like Hollywood Starlett. I would wear a gown
and my hair would be up. No, no, it would
be down. You know what. It would be half up,
half down, and that way you get the best of
both worlds. And me, Kyle, I would wear an oversized
(13:02):
suit and have lots of gel in my hair. It
would take hours to get that gel out of my
hair after the event, but it literally wouldn't matter because
my short film was being screened at the film festival.
That's right, And you know what, let's let the whole
(13:23):
crew come. I mean, I'm sure they would want to
come to this fabulous event and watch our hard work
on the big screen. Well, the absolutely, I mean that
would be and to bring the whole crew, I mean
we all roll in. Will probably have to get a
limo if it's in l A. As this thing happened
before in other areas, I have to jump in. The
(13:45):
truth is we were applying to this festival blindly because
we didn't know where the festival actually took place, because
this information was not listed on the website, So we
were we didn't know how to answer Clay's question this festival, Yeah,
(14:05):
it's unclear, but I really looked hard on the website
you didn't see it, try to find where the location
of this one was, but it was not there. Little
did we know at this moment the location of this
festival would actually proved to be a big deal. But
more on that later. I know things are getting really good,
(14:36):
but we have to take a break for some ads.
And the ad break is over. Back to it. We
were about to start shooting, but there was something we
needed to do first. I had been told by some
(14:58):
of my film but friends that getting into festivals it's
not an easy feat. It seemed that getting in it
was a matter of whom you knew and how they
felt about you. Let's be honest, if we wanted to
(15:18):
get into this festival, we needed to build a report
with Beep Macromy. I know it seems like this was
a big risk to take to reach out to the
very person who frightened us, but we needed to start
playing chess in order for this investigation to be a success.
(15:41):
In order to meet Beep Macromy at his festival, we
needed to start acting like real festival hopefuls, and that
meant reaching out to him and saying, hey, crazy running
into you here, what's up. I gotta say this was terrifying,
(16:09):
but I knew Anna had a good point. She assured
me this was the safest time to reach out to him.
We were together on a film set, and by the way,
we were surrounded by a bunch of strong guys who
handled cameras and lights. If anything, this was the safest
(16:31):
time to do this. That is how that works works.
That's a really good idea. Sorry, I know this is
We're in the middle of this meeting. This is what
production Okay, it's getting a vibe check from the DPS.
Here's what the final email said, Mr beat Mackramy. I
(16:52):
just wanted to let you know we are currently working
on our short. Something you probably can't tell right here
is that I'm actually terrified. It is looking promising and
we will have it in by the late deadline. Not
(17:14):
to be presumptuous, but curious. Where will the festival be
located this year? If we get in fingers crossed winky
face again, I'm terrified. Can my whole crew attend? I
know they are all dying to go. As I said,
(17:36):
we have a strong product here. I will send another
message when we actually submit the short. Much love about Emoji, Kyle.
That was so scary, but it had to be done
(17:58):
because we how to get into the festival, because we
had to meet beat macromy because that would be facing
our fears. We were super happy with the email we
had written, but we did apologize to Clay for taking
(18:18):
time away from the production. I mean, if we were
going to make this puppy in two hours, we kind
of had to get this thing going. But Clay was
really cool about it. I think I think you're I
think what you're doing right now and that's more important
is networking. Wow, I was feeling really good about it.
(18:42):
It was definitely scary to send an email to beat
macromy but we did it. Who knew what the twisted
freak would say back. It was finally time to start
this shoot, but before the cameras could start rolling, we
needed to take care of some little last minute tasks
(19:04):
like create the set design. Kyle and I didn't know
what set design was per se, but we knew what
looked good play plan for the opening shot to be
that of a creepy fridge, so we took a look
at what we had to work with Kyle's fridge. We
(19:24):
just decided that, I think for the opening shot, we
wanted it to be this postcard that we got from
the Tri Cities Cities, which is where we took road
Yeah for his perfect days Perfect and we wanted to
give this, as they say in the film world, a
little easter egg, A little easter egg that's right for
the fans, so hopefully they catch it. Hopefully the fans
that are listening to the show are also of course
(19:46):
watching the film, and the even bigger vans, A little
a basket of baghetts, a magnet because Paris, because we
have a real strong relationship to Paris, to Paris, of course,
and just like that, we he became set designers, having
just adorn the fridge with a postcard from the Tri
Cities and two magnets from Paris. The Tri Cities, if
(20:10):
you remember, was where we took Rod on his perfect
day in season one. We put that in there for you,
the listener. The magnets from Paris, well that's just for us.
We love Paris. We moved onto the interior of the fridge.
(20:33):
You see in this opening shot a guy would be
opening the fridge and looking inside of it, and we
the audience, would be right there with him, meaning we
would also see what was inside the fridge. He likes
to eat. Maybe there's nothing in his fridge except for
(20:56):
the maple syrup, and then you who's that guy. We
tried out Anna's idea of leaving just the maple syrup
in the fridge, but it actually wasn't as impactful as
we had hoped. We threw some sausages in there too,
So whoever this guy was in the opening shot, he
was a maple syrup and sausage kind of guy. You
(21:17):
figure it out. I think that's really nice. And then
you just just because just check, just check the motor
that really read that there's because see you also imagine this.
The fridge was set and we were ready to fly
in the actor who would be playing the guy. But
(21:41):
here's the thing, we didn't know that many actors. Kyle
had mentioned that her neighbor sometimes acted and stuff, so
we figured that sounded fine and we asked him to
do it. It looked promising for a while, but right
now when we needed him the most on set, he
(22:05):
was nowhere to be found. And we were already an
hour and a half into the shoot. Well, we waited patiently.
Clay decided to test the shot by standing in for
the other guy. Checked it out in the monitor. Wow,
I really like how long you held your gaze. I
(22:26):
kind of scared myself a little bit, so it's kind
of I'm not even acting early honestly, When I saw
on the monitor, it's great. Clay, well, he was a natural.
Right then we made a split decision. Let Clay be
(22:47):
the part of the guy. That's right. He could be
the guy in the opening shot. I mean he literally
just nailed it in one take. Sorry, Kyle's neighbor, better
look next time. You're really good. I think it's so
good that we we got it so let's move to
the second show. One shot down, twenty to go. We
(23:12):
were off to such a good start that we were
ready to do one of the most important parts of
the day, ordering the pizza and the salad. Just to
refresh your memory, we had raised money through indiego Go
to buy pizza and salad for the day of the shoot. Well,
(23:33):
that day was today. I browsed the pizza menu and
asked the crew what they thought. Can I give you,
guys two choices? Okay, Pepperoni classic or roasted fenteal sausage. Well,
(23:54):
it's two different schools entirely, so I would defur both
in those h The pizza was ordered, and don't forget
the salad, and we were sitting around at this point.
We were about three hours into the shoot. To be honest,
(24:15):
we weren't doing much. This is probably a good time
to tell you about the short film. Kyle and I
were in it as actors, but it was actually about
much more than that. It was about COVID and the
(24:37):
monotony of our own anxieties about COVID. That is to say,
this film it's about something much bigger than just us.
And that is to say, there were lots of scenes
in this thing that we weren't in. And then that
(24:57):
is to say, we were doing a lot of sitting around.
M M. It's so interesting with Phil how long they
stay in the same spot. I know, it's crazy, like
you think we yeah, you think we've already moved on.
It's crazy. I kind of we would be done by now.
(25:22):
It was taking a really long time. But before we
knew it, the pizza had arrived and with it the salado.
Have the pizza? Oh great? Do you want to put
it over here? The pizzas here? Whenever you bud the
(25:45):
sun always really small right now? Damn do you think?
I mean yeah, I think we already thought, yeah, that's rolling, okay,
say okay, just because the pizza. Ah, what is this
quiet on set thing? We were just letting everyone know
that the pizza had arrived and with it the salad.
(26:08):
I mean, could you blame us? We were just sitting
around with nothing to do. It seemed to me that
this whole filmmaking thing kind of sucked. I mean, don't
get me wrong, I am a huge film lover, but
to be honest, I found the whole process to be
(26:29):
rather tedious, and they would spend so much time shooting
the door, watching it open and then watching it close,
then shooting another angle, this time from the door's perspective.
I'm sorry, why did we need the door's perspective and action? Uh?
(26:58):
I guess we got the shot, but something worried me.
I brought it up to Kyle. Mm hmm. I just
so the pizzas here and then the salad. Yeah, the salad. Again,
(27:18):
pizza and salad had to arrive, but it seemed like
no one on the crew cared. They kept shooting. There's
no poetic way to say this pizza gets cold, which
normally would be fine, but in this case, it had
been funded by our Indie Go Go backers. Remember our
(27:41):
Indie Go Go campaign was solely for this, providing pizza
for the shoot and with it the salad. I really
didn't want to cause a scene on set, but also
I didn't want to risk toying with other people's money.
It felt ad, but I had no choice. Hey, so
(28:05):
I know that you guys have a couple more shots
and stuff, but I'm a little worried. Yeah, the pizza
is going to get cold because the salads fine, I
think sounds good cold. Well, salads good cold, so that
unless it came hot. But the pizza, I'm now I'm
(28:26):
a little worried because it's kind of a focal point
of the fundraising. So I just you know what I'm taking.
Are you thinking for the pizza just to have it
be warm? I think you might lose a shot. Combine
it with another shot, and then maybe we have a
quicker out. Is that okay? Yeah, that's good. I'm okay
with that. Is because I think as long as you
keep the pizza the fox, it's going to be a Yeah.
(28:50):
I'm not planning on eating the pizza, but even though
I'm not eating it, I am worried about it for
the sake of other people. Just can we change shot
to and and merchant was shot four, so we can
skip shot six? Cool? All right, I'm gonna get back
(29:10):
to say, okay, cool, thank you so much, thank you,
Thank what a relief. Lay was really a good guy,
and you know what, it didn't hurt that he was gorgeous.
He moved some shots around and before we knew it,
we were eating piping hot pizza while some of us
(29:31):
focused on the salad. Hey Kyle, I'm looking at you.
She doesn't eat pizza. We thought this would be a
good opportunity to grab some behind the scenes footage for
indiego Go backers to show them exactly where their money went.
(29:55):
At first, the crew, which included Clay are Di Rector,
Moses our camera operator, and Tom, the lights guy. They
were a little taken aback. You see, usually these guys
are behind the camera, not in front of it, and
(30:17):
I get that, but I told them it was an
important part of the process to connect with our campaign supporters.
And hey, they like that they were getting to eat, right,
That's what I thought. Now get dancing boys. So what
(30:42):
you're about to hear is that footage we got of
the crew enjoying the pizza and don't forget the salad. Tom,
thank you to all the indigogo donors on this pizza
is really amazing and not to mention the salad. Wow,
it looks like a really good pizza. I don't think
(31:02):
this would have been possible without the indiego Go people
who gave money for this, and thank you so much.
It's most really good too. And the salad I'm sorry
for invention salad action drink because of you. I's pizza
and the scream shot. Thank you all right, boys, thanks
(31:30):
for dancing, and now an ad break. The ad break
is over. Next, it was time to bring in the
(31:51):
other actors. Let's just talk about them for a minute.
We needed to people who would be portraying a couple
seated next to one another on a bed. First, we
had hired a wonderful woman named Sheila. Sheila had been
recommended to us by Deshaun, our acting coach. Sheila, well,
(32:15):
she just had the it factor. Now the more tricky
actor to explain. We were looking for a guy and
it was kind of important to me that he was cute.
I mean, I'm not shallow, but let me ask you this.
(32:37):
If you were watching a movie and you see a
cute guy on the screen, aren't you more likely to
keep watching the movie? That's what I thought. So I
thought about all the guys that I think are cute,
and one happened to stand out. Honestly, I have a confession.
(33:03):
I have a crush. You guys, you actually know him.
It's so embarrassing. Okay, do you remember Chris from episode one?
Why are some people always late? Hi? My name is
Chris and I'm a late person. Oh my god, I'm
(33:26):
turning red. I'm so thankful this is a podcast because
my face is turning beat red. Anyway, Chris was the
guy who was perpetually late to practically everything. But I'll
tell you one thing. He wasn't late for leaving a
big impression on me. No, when it came to that,
(33:50):
he was right on time. Anyway. Chris had been on
my mind, so when we needed to hire another actor
and he needed to be cute, well naturally I thought
of him. Um, okay. When Anna first brought up hiring Chris,
(34:12):
I was a little confused. You mean Chris who was
eating a tangerine for twenty minutes and that's why he
was late to meet his friend Mia and Chris who
showed up at our art show uninvited, and Anna didn't
have answers for that. Look. It was becoming clear that
Anna had developed a big crush on Chris, which is fine.
(34:37):
I get that, I've been there, but I guess from
my perspective, Rather than casting her crush in a role
in a short film that we would eventually submit to
a festival in the hopes of getting in to meet
beat Macromate Journey, which would ultimately take up most of
our second season. It seemed like, rather than doing all that,
(35:01):
wouldn't it be easier to just ask the guy out?
But hey, eat their own anyway. That's how we came
to select Sheila and Chris to be a part of
our short. You're not going to believe this, but Chris
(35:23):
showed up early. He wanted to have time to run
through his lines. I honestly jumped at the opportunity to
help him. Wait. So it's like a horror movie within
the world. Yeah, it's like weird. It really does feel
a horrantine. Everyone going through the same. Something you probably
(35:46):
can't tell right here is that I'm actually freaking out.
Oh my god, you're not gonna open it, are you please?
Just that sounds great? Good, great job. Oh god. I
(36:08):
barely held it together right there. But luckily Sheila arrived
and it really seemed to break up the tension. This
is Chris and acting with Chris. Hey, let's not get
too carried away. And then players are directed a break. Well,
(36:34):
I think they're all set up. The actors took their places.
In this scene. We would see a couple next to
one another in a bed. They're watching a movie as
they wait for food to be delivered. The twist is
that the movie they're watching is actually the scene that
(36:54):
Clay was just in, a guy opening the fridge, looking
at the bull syrup and sausages, and then getting stabbed.
Obviously there's more tour short, but we'll tell you more
about the plot later. We were just about ready to
(37:14):
shoot the Sheila and Christine. First, Kyle and I needed
to make sure their outfits looked right. I jumped at
the opportunity to look at Chris a bit closer, if
you know what I mean. I mean like two ft
rather than the classic six Okay, leading man sweater. That's
(37:43):
kind of nice is leading men sweater? I've never worn it.
I bought it five years ago. I'm just thinking maybe maybe. Yeah.
I kept laughing like a psychopath. Can you guys tell
him nervous? My stomach is literally in my butt. Anyway.
(38:08):
Clay framed the shot and I checked it out on
the monitor. Oh it's a beautiful shot. Wow, you've got
to come over here by play this. Oh my, that's
really nice, so good, it looks really really good. Sunk
(38:29):
that little lamp a little lamp punch shine so much? Alright,
cool whatever X call action. You can wait the five
seconds and then get into it. Question and action. So
it's it's like a movie within a horror movie. Yeah,
(38:50):
it's like weird in meta. It really is like Quarantine.
I mean, everyone doing the exact same thing over and over. Yeah,
cut beautiful. You guys are doing fabulous closer to acting.
(39:14):
It's really good. Sheila and Chris were amazing. They really
understood what we were going for. Great acting, great chemistry,
and sheer terror. We set our goodbyes to them, and
(39:37):
I told Chris that I hoped I would see him later.
He said, okay, what do you guys think that means?
Finally it was time for our big moment. We were
about to act. We were all nerves and then we
(40:04):
looked at the clock. It was like twelve thirty am.
I'm sorry, but how did we go from knocking this
out in two hours to barely getting around to it
at six? Not only were we stressed out about our parts,
but we were tired and the guys were still setting
(40:26):
up our shot. It was so late. You don't understand.
This was hours after Kyle's bedtime. We had done all
this preparation for our scene beforehand. I met with an
acting coach, strategized on the best ways to run backward,
(40:47):
and visited Hollywood. But when it came time to actually act,
we didn't even have the energy for it. We literally
did two hags and said that it would probably be fine.
I mean to be honest, we did it so quickly.
(41:12):
We don't even have the audio of us doing that
scene that you the listeners have heard over and over.
We hoped it would be good, but honestly, who cares.
I have to get some disease. It's really interesting. I
(41:35):
don't really know how actors do this. Hit hard. It's
really hard hard, you know. I think that hopefully in
the end we come up with a great product that
I really that they will, that will not be able
to ignore. Kyle was so tired she was calling her
(41:57):
short film a product m poor guy. We waited around
until we were officially dismissed by Clay. You've got another
time check. You're not gonna believe this. It was three
a m. How did this happen? What happened? What is this? Okay?
(42:30):
So I think that's a wrap? Yeah, um, guys are
just getting in with the nareson um rap. It's three
Wednesday next day, am yeah, so damn, I'm so tired
(42:54):
that I don't even I don't know how I can't.
I don't even know where my body is anymore. Yeah, like,
how do people do this? I honestly don't even remember
what we did. I honestly feel crazy. I had no
idea filmmaking took so long. I we had done it,
(43:19):
we had made the short film that we would submit
to the Horror Possible. We were by no means done.
There's still remains several stretches of our journey doors yet
to be opened. We would still have to submit the film,
hopefully get in attend the festival and meet Beep macromy
(43:44):
who scared the ship out of us. But honestly, I
am so tired. I just need to go to bed.
I can't a person just go to bed and not
have to wrap things up poetically and present them to
you with a little bow. Okay, okay, we do have
(44:09):
to go to bed. More on all of this later
to be continued. M hm hm, can you actually turn
down the music. I'm trying to get some shot. I
(44:32):
Next time on Truth Hounds it is PM and there's
just been a break in the case. Oh my god
over superfar girl. Oh my god, what we saw next
was um confusing to say the least. That was brutal
to hear. Get me, get that that. I was a
(44:58):
little worried about Anna. Where did that leave us? Did
that mean we were done? That? Was it a ship? Hey?

Welcome to Truth Hounds, a production of My Heart Radio.
I'm Anna and I've been unemployed for two years now,
so I really have nothing going on. And I'm Kyle
and in middle school I received the award Most Enthusiastic
to Learn. So that makes me pretty special. And that
(00:22):
is what makes us the perfect investigative duo. We are
two friends who love each other very much, but we
love even more is getting to the bottom of mysteries,
all mysteries, short but small mysteries. Specifically, trust me, No
mystery is too small? No, no, no, Why don't you
trust me when I tell you we are ready to
(00:44):
sniff around? We are the the truth Hounds. Previously on
Truth Hounds, I think we should make a movie to
submit to this festival. Deep Macromy, the director of the festival,
(01:06):
looked terrifying. Yeah, he says, you guys are looking for
a short film script the horror short. Ana and I
were thinking about maybe meeting with an acting coach to
just really get our rolls down. What's the intention behind
the whoa? I think that I think let's go get
some shut I look, we get to be onset tomorrow.
(01:29):
I'm so excited, so exciting, really that I'm scared. I'm
really scared. It'll be okay, I'm here for you. Okay,
let's go. Okay, Hello, hey Kyle. Yeah, hey, sorry, I
know you just drove away from the beach, but um
(01:52):
there we just kind of need to talk some more.
I about the beach. But I'll be right there. Okay, okay, okay, else,
you should be careful. Hey, what is it? Thanks so
(02:16):
much for coming back. Oh yeah, I was like on
my way home, I feel like I thought we I
thought we should get home because of the shoot tomorrow. Yeah.
I know. I guess the shoots in a couple of
hours now very powerful. How the waves are today? Yeah,
we just were we were just here. Um, I mean
I don't know. I guess you left and then I
(02:38):
stood here and I just like we might actually meet
beat back room. I don't know. I got really scared. Well,
we don't know. Okay, I'm serious. We I gotta get
home because the shoot is tomorrow. Yeah yeah, yeah, okay,
I just felt like I needed my friend. I don't
(03:02):
do that. I'm sorry I needed you. No, it's okay,
it's fine, I'm fine whatever. I just needed my friend. No,
I can't leave it on that note. Okay, but I
have to go. I'm sorry, It's totally fine, just go,
It's I'm fine, I'll see, I'll see on set. It's fine.
(03:27):
We'll just from And how are you doing? Yeah? Is
that a birth? Episode four? What is Fear? And why
Can't I Look Away? Part three? So here we were
(03:56):
on the day of the shoot, meeting beat back from
It was still in the distance, but we had now
plotted a map which showed us how to reach him.
The road towards the film Festival unfurled itself beneath our feet,
(04:20):
and all we needed to do was to commit those
feet too, stepping on it. Whoa yeah, exactly as Anna said,
the shoot was upon us. All the different moving parts
were in motion. My house became a bustling movie set.
(04:44):
You could have mistaken it for the sound stage for
Meet the Goldbergs. There was a camera operator, a guy
setting up lights. The other actors would eventually be arriving
with bags bursting with wardrobe options, and we had already
commit the number of the pizza and salad place to
our speed dials. I have to say, I know that
(05:07):
there was an ultimate destination here, the film Festival, but
for this moment, we put aside our investigative hats and
trench coats and melted into our roles as actors. Before
we officially began the shoot, and and I had a
(05:27):
huddle with our brave director Clay to discuss the day's
game plan. Okay, okay, so this is I guess a
production meeting. This is like a um um yeah, production eating.
Clay jumped right in. Okay, so, gang, how long do
(05:49):
you think we have to shoot this? We were so
happy to be working with him and seeing him step
into the role of the director on set me to
see him in a whole new way. Honestly, he was gorgeous.
(06:13):
Gone was the bookish boy on the other end of
our zoom calls in his stead the sexy bespectacle mysterio.
You know the kind of guy who lives in the
Lower east Side. No, but I know the kind of
(06:35):
man who lives on the Lower east Side. Ha ha ha, exactly, Kyle.
You see, this was the kind of Lower east Side
man whom you might expect to find on the other
side of a door leading you to a dusty, obscure
jazz basement holding a glass of eye lay scotch in
(06:57):
one hand and apathetically tinking on an old yamaha with
the other. But it just so happens to be the
most beautiful music arrangement your ears ever, did hear? Yeah, exactly,
(07:18):
And he's holding a saxophone. Yeah, and a jazz record
plays in the background. Yeah, and there's a beautiful woman
draped over her shoulders and she's like, oh yeah, okay, okay, anyway,
(07:46):
now you see what we saw. Clay was amazing. He
had just asked us how long we hoped the shoot
would take. We thought about it, um um, I mean
as soon as early as possible. But I do have
four pages here. Yeah, so if we shoot from six
(08:08):
thirty to nine, maybe we even rest earlier. But I
just don't I just don't see that being a possible.
This was our first time making a film, so we
really had no idea how long it would take. Play
seemed to imply that would probably take longer than an hour,
(08:31):
but hey, even if it took two hours, it would
be okay. We were here to make a short film
and get into the film festival. This is our camera guy,
how long do you think this is going to take? Unfortunately,
the camera guy, Moses predicted that it would be more
(08:54):
like twelve hours to shoot the whole film, if not more.
In and I were not expecting that, not at all.
In our heads. It was like this, So think about
a movie. How long is one of those? Two hours? Okay,
(09:17):
so what's the hold up? Why isn't it taking two
hours to shoot one? Well? You know, I guess the
guys have to set up the lights and turn on
the camera. Okay, fine, but that takes what an hour?
So fine? Add that to the total. It should take
(09:39):
three hours to shoot a two hour movie. Well but anna,
you know afterward, I think those same guys have to
take down the lights and turn off the cameras. Fine,
so I ad another extra hour of cushion at the end.
Four hours. It should take four hours to make a
(10:03):
two hour movie. So what I'm saying is we're making
a three minute short. Where's this camera? Guy? Moses getting
twelve hours? I'm sorry, but again, what's the hold up?
Are we gonna be walking around the set going oh
and wow, look at that? And you guys ever hear
(10:24):
that one story about Orson Wells? Hey, what's this story
about Orson Welles? No, that's not the point. No, unnecessary
conversation while we're shooting, Kyle, keep it tight, you know what.
We're going to make the short in. Four hours before
(10:46):
we finished our production meeting, I had some news for
Anna that I hadn't shared with her yet. We got
an Instagram message and it's pretty crazy. I don't know
if you saw it, but it says I'd love to
screen your shirt at my festival. We'd love to screen
your shirt. Yeah, And I wrote back and I said,
whoa do you mean short? Good to clarify, we would
(11:09):
love that, and he said I absolutely meant short. And
then I said, awesome, Sauce, tell us when your festival is,
we will give you our short. Wow. He didn't respond
to that because he said shirt at first. Then Yeah,
so anyway, I'm saying it, We're definitely going to this
other one. Just to keep it consistent, we bleeped out
(11:31):
the name of this other festival as well. Hey, we're
not anyone's PR team over here. This was exciting, to
say the least. We hadn't made the short yet and
there was already a festival circuit buzz. Some random person
from Instagram wanted our short sight unseen in his film
(11:51):
festival Clay, it turns out, was not only gorgeous but wise.
He imparted some wisdom. Well, I just say, let's keep
our eyes from the price here, because I don't know
if I can miss out on this other festival. Clay
was right, we were getting ahead of ourselves by thinking
(12:12):
of other film festivals. We didn't need to because we
had a great film festival to look forward to, the
Shop Film Festival. Sure we hadn't made the movie yet,
but I had a great feeling. I could literally imagine
us rolling up to the festival. Kyle and I would
(12:40):
look just like Hollywood Starlett. I would wear a gown
and my hair would be up. No, no, it would
be down. You know what. It would be half up,
half down, and that way you get the best of
both worlds. And me, Kyle, I would wear an oversized
(13:02):
suit and have lots of gel in my hair. It
would take hours to get that gel out of my
hair after the event, but it literally wouldn't matter because
my short film was being screened at the film festival.
That's right, And you know what, let's let the whole
(13:23):
crew come. I mean, I'm sure they would want to
come to this fabulous event and watch our hard work
on the big screen. Well, the absolutely, I mean that
would be and to bring the whole crew, I mean
we all roll in. Will probably have to get a
limo if it's in l A. As this thing happened
before in other areas, I have to jump in. The
(13:45):
truth is we were applying to this festival blindly because
we didn't know where the festival actually took place, because
this information was not listed on the website, So we
were we didn't know how to answer Clay's question this festival, Yeah,
(14:05):
it's unclear, but I really looked hard on the website
you didn't see it, try to find where the location
of this one was, but it was not there. Little
did we know at this moment the location of this
festival would actually proved to be a big deal. But
more on that later. I know things are getting really good,
(14:36):
but we have to take a break for some ads.
And the ad break is over. Back to it. We
were about to start shooting, but there was something we
needed to do first. I had been told by some
(14:58):
of my film but friends that getting into festivals it's
not an easy feat. It seemed that getting in it
was a matter of whom you knew and how they
felt about you. Let's be honest, if we wanted to
(15:18):
get into this festival, we needed to build a report
with Beep Macromy. I know it seems like this was
a big risk to take to reach out to the
very person who frightened us, but we needed to start
playing chess in order for this investigation to be a success.
(15:41):
In order to meet Beep Macromy at his festival, we
needed to start acting like real festival hopefuls, and that
meant reaching out to him and saying, hey, crazy running
into you here, what's up. I gotta say this was terrifying,
(16:09):
but I knew Anna had a good point. She assured
me this was the safest time to reach out to him.
We were together on a film set, and by the way,
we were surrounded by a bunch of strong guys who
handled cameras and lights. If anything, this was the safest
(16:31):
time to do this. That is how that works works.
That's a really good idea. Sorry, I know this is
We're in the middle of this meeting. This is what
production Okay, it's getting a vibe check from the DPS.
Here's what the final email said, Mr beat Mackramy. I
(16:52):
just wanted to let you know we are currently working
on our short. Something you probably can't tell right here
is that I'm actually terrified. It is looking promising and
we will have it in by the late deadline. Not
(17:14):
to be presumptuous, but curious. Where will the festival be
located this year? If we get in fingers crossed winky
face again, I'm terrified. Can my whole crew attend? I
know they are all dying to go. As I said,
(17:36):
we have a strong product here. I will send another
message when we actually submit the short. Much love about Emoji, Kyle.
That was so scary, but it had to be done
(17:58):
because we how to get into the festival, because we
had to meet beat macromy because that would be facing
our fears. We were super happy with the email we
had written, but we did apologize to Clay for taking
(18:18):
time away from the production. I mean, if we were
going to make this puppy in two hours, we kind
of had to get this thing going. But Clay was
really cool about it. I think I think you're I
think what you're doing right now and that's more important
is networking. Wow, I was feeling really good about it.
(18:42):
It was definitely scary to send an email to beat
macromy but we did it. Who knew what the twisted
freak would say back. It was finally time to start
this shoot, but before the cameras could start rolling, we
needed to take care of some little last minute tasks
(19:04):
like create the set design. Kyle and I didn't know
what set design was per se, but we knew what
looked good play plan for the opening shot to be
that of a creepy fridge, so we took a look
at what we had to work with Kyle's fridge. We
(19:24):
just decided that, I think for the opening shot, we
wanted it to be this postcard that we got from
the Tri Cities Cities, which is where we took road
Yeah for his perfect days Perfect and we wanted to
give this, as they say in the film world, a
little easter egg, A little easter egg that's right for
the fans, so hopefully they catch it. Hopefully the fans
that are listening to the show are also of course
(19:46):
watching the film, and the even bigger vans, A little
a basket of baghetts, a magnet because Paris, because we
have a real strong relationship to Paris, to Paris, of course,
and just like that, we he became set designers, having
just adorn the fridge with a postcard from the Tri
Cities and two magnets from Paris. The Tri Cities, if
(20:10):
you remember, was where we took Rod on his perfect
day in season one. We put that in there for you,
the listener. The magnets from Paris, well that's just for us.
We love Paris. We moved onto the interior of the fridge.
(20:33):
You see in this opening shot a guy would be
opening the fridge and looking inside of it, and we
the audience, would be right there with him, meaning we
would also see what was inside the fridge. He likes
to eat. Maybe there's nothing in his fridge except for
(20:56):
the maple syrup, and then you who's that guy. We
tried out Anna's idea of leaving just the maple syrup
in the fridge, but it actually wasn't as impactful as
we had hoped. We threw some sausages in there too,
So whoever this guy was in the opening shot, he
was a maple syrup and sausage kind of guy. You
(21:17):
figure it out. I think that's really nice. And then
you just just because just check, just check the motor
that really read that there's because see you also imagine this.
The fridge was set and we were ready to fly
in the actor who would be playing the guy. But
(21:41):
here's the thing, we didn't know that many actors. Kyle
had mentioned that her neighbor sometimes acted and stuff, so
we figured that sounded fine and we asked him to
do it. It looked promising for a while, but right
now when we needed him the most on set, he
(22:05):
was nowhere to be found. And we were already an
hour and a half into the shoot. Well, we waited patiently.
Clay decided to test the shot by standing in for
the other guy. Checked it out in the monitor. Wow,
I really like how long you held your gaze. I
(22:26):
kind of scared myself a little bit, so it's kind
of I'm not even acting early honestly, When I saw
on the monitor, it's great. Clay, well, he was a natural.
Right then we made a split decision. Let Clay be
(22:47):
the part of the guy. That's right. He could be
the guy in the opening shot. I mean he literally
just nailed it in one take. Sorry, Kyle's neighbor, better
look next time. You're really good. I think it's so
good that we we got it so let's move to
the second show. One shot down, twenty to go. We
(23:12):
were off to such a good start that we were
ready to do one of the most important parts of
the day, ordering the pizza and the salad. Just to
refresh your memory, we had raised money through indiego Go
to buy pizza and salad for the day of the shoot. Well,
(23:33):
that day was today. I browsed the pizza menu and
asked the crew what they thought. Can I give you,
guys two choices? Okay, Pepperoni classic or roasted fenteal sausage. Well,
(23:54):
it's two different schools entirely, so I would defur both
in those h The pizza was ordered, and don't forget
the salad, and we were sitting around at this point.
We were about three hours into the shoot. To be honest,
(24:15):
we weren't doing much. This is probably a good time
to tell you about the short film. Kyle and I
were in it as actors, but it was actually about
much more than that. It was about COVID and the
(24:37):
monotony of our own anxieties about COVID. That is to say,
this film it's about something much bigger than just us.
And that is to say, there were lots of scenes
in this thing that we weren't in. And then that
(24:57):
is to say, we were doing a lot of sitting around.
M M. It's so interesting with Phil how long they
stay in the same spot. I know, it's crazy, like
you think we yeah, you think we've already moved on.
It's crazy. I kind of we would be done by now.
(25:22):
It was taking a really long time. But before we
knew it, the pizza had arrived and with it the salado.
Have the pizza? Oh great? Do you want to put
it over here? The pizzas here? Whenever you bud the
(25:45):
sun always really small right now? Damn do you think?
I mean yeah, I think we already thought, yeah, that's rolling, okay,
say okay, just because the pizza. Ah, what is this
quiet on set thing? We were just letting everyone know
that the pizza had arrived and with it the salad.
(26:08):
I mean, could you blame us? We were just sitting
around with nothing to do. It seemed to me that
this whole filmmaking thing kind of sucked. I mean, don't
get me wrong, I am a huge film lover, but
to be honest, I found the whole process to be
(26:29):
rather tedious, and they would spend so much time shooting
the door, watching it open and then watching it close,
then shooting another angle, this time from the door's perspective.
I'm sorry, why did we need the door's perspective and action? Uh?
(26:58):
I guess we got the shot, but something worried me.
I brought it up to Kyle. Mm hmm. I just
so the pizzas here and then the salad. Yeah, the salad. Again,
(27:18):
pizza and salad had to arrive, but it seemed like
no one on the crew cared. They kept shooting. There's
no poetic way to say this pizza gets cold, which
normally would be fine, but in this case, it had
been funded by our Indie Go Go backers. Remember our
(27:41):
Indie Go Go campaign was solely for this, providing pizza
for the shoot and with it the salad. I really
didn't want to cause a scene on set, but also
I didn't want to risk toying with other people's money.
It felt ad, but I had no choice. Hey, so
(28:05):
I know that you guys have a couple more shots
and stuff, but I'm a little worried. Yeah, the pizza
is going to get cold because the salads fine, I
think sounds good cold. Well, salads good cold, so that
unless it came hot. But the pizza, I'm now I'm
(28:26):
a little worried because it's kind of a focal point
of the fundraising. So I just you know what I'm taking.
Are you thinking for the pizza just to have it
be warm? I think you might lose a shot. Combine
it with another shot, and then maybe we have a
quicker out. Is that okay? Yeah, that's good. I'm okay
with that. Is because I think as long as you
keep the pizza the fox, it's going to be a Yeah.
(28:50):
I'm not planning on eating the pizza, but even though
I'm not eating it, I am worried about it for
the sake of other people. Just can we change shot
to and and merchant was shot four, so we can
skip shot six? Cool? All right, I'm gonna get back
(29:10):
to say, okay, cool, thank you so much, thank you,
Thank what a relief. Lay was really a good guy,
and you know what, it didn't hurt that he was gorgeous.
He moved some shots around and before we knew it,
we were eating piping hot pizza while some of us
(29:31):
focused on the salad. Hey Kyle, I'm looking at you.
She doesn't eat pizza. We thought this would be a
good opportunity to grab some behind the scenes footage for
indiego Go backers to show them exactly where their money went.
(29:55):
At first, the crew, which included Clay are Di Rector,
Moses our camera operator, and Tom, the lights guy. They
were a little taken aback. You see, usually these guys
are behind the camera, not in front of it, and
(30:17):
I get that, but I told them it was an
important part of the process to connect with our campaign supporters.
And hey, they like that they were getting to eat, right,
That's what I thought. Now get dancing boys. So what
(30:42):
you're about to hear is that footage we got of
the crew enjoying the pizza and don't forget the salad. Tom,
thank you to all the indigogo donors on this pizza
is really amazing and not to mention the salad. Wow,
it looks like a really good pizza. I don't think
(31:02):
this would have been possible without the indiego Go people
who gave money for this, and thank you so much.
It's most really good too. And the salad I'm sorry
for invention salad action drink because of you. I's pizza
and the scream shot. Thank you all right, boys, thanks
(31:30):
for dancing, and now an ad break. The ad break
is over. Next, it was time to bring in the
(31:51):
other actors. Let's just talk about them for a minute.
We needed to people who would be portraying a couple
seated next to one another on a bed. First, we
had hired a wonderful woman named Sheila. Sheila had been
recommended to us by Deshaun, our acting coach. Sheila, well,
(32:15):
she just had the it factor. Now the more tricky
actor to explain. We were looking for a guy and
it was kind of important to me that he was cute.
I mean, I'm not shallow, but let me ask you this.
(32:37):
If you were watching a movie and you see a
cute guy on the screen, aren't you more likely to
keep watching the movie? That's what I thought. So I
thought about all the guys that I think are cute,
and one happened to stand out. Honestly, I have a confession.
(33:03):
I have a crush. You guys, you actually know him.
It's so embarrassing. Okay, do you remember Chris from episode one?
Why are some people always late? Hi? My name is
Chris and I'm a late person. Oh my god, I'm
(33:26):
turning red. I'm so thankful this is a podcast because
my face is turning beat red. Anyway, Chris was the
guy who was perpetually late to practically everything. But I'll
tell you one thing. He wasn't late for leaving a
big impression on me. No, when it came to that,
(33:50):
he was right on time. Anyway. Chris had been on
my mind, so when we needed to hire another actor
and he needed to be cute, well naturally I thought
of him. Um, okay. When Anna first brought up hiring Chris,
(34:12):
I was a little confused. You mean Chris who was
eating a tangerine for twenty minutes and that's why he
was late to meet his friend Mia and Chris who
showed up at our art show uninvited, and Anna didn't
have answers for that. Look. It was becoming clear that
Anna had developed a big crush on Chris, which is fine.
(34:37):
I get that, I've been there, but I guess from
my perspective, Rather than casting her crush in a role
in a short film that we would eventually submit to
a festival in the hopes of getting in to meet
beat Macromate Journey, which would ultimately take up most of
our second season. It seemed like, rather than doing all that,
(35:01):
wouldn't it be easier to just ask the guy out?
But hey, eat their own anyway. That's how we came
to select Sheila and Chris to be a part of
our short. You're not going to believe this, but Chris
(35:23):
showed up early. He wanted to have time to run
through his lines. I honestly jumped at the opportunity to
help him. Wait. So it's like a horror movie within
the world. Yeah, it's like weird. It really does feel
a horrantine. Everyone going through the same. Something you probably
(35:46):
can't tell right here is that I'm actually freaking out.
Oh my god, you're not gonna open it, are you please?
Just that sounds great? Good, great job. Oh god. I
(36:08):
barely held it together right there. But luckily Sheila arrived
and it really seemed to break up the tension. This
is Chris and acting with Chris. Hey, let's not get
too carried away. And then players are directed a break. Well,
(36:34):
I think they're all set up. The actors took their places.
In this scene. We would see a couple next to
one another in a bed. They're watching a movie as
they wait for food to be delivered. The twist is
that the movie they're watching is actually the scene that
(36:54):
Clay was just in, a guy opening the fridge, looking
at the bull syrup and sausages, and then getting stabbed.
Obviously there's more tour short, but we'll tell you more
about the plot later. We were just about ready to
(37:14):
shoot the Sheila and Christine. First, Kyle and I needed
to make sure their outfits looked right. I jumped at
the opportunity to look at Chris a bit closer, if
you know what I mean. I mean like two ft
rather than the classic six Okay, leading man sweater. That's
(37:43):
kind of nice is leading men sweater? I've never worn it.
I bought it five years ago. I'm just thinking maybe maybe. Yeah.
I kept laughing like a psychopath. Can you guys tell
him nervous? My stomach is literally in my butt. Anyway.
(38:08):
Clay framed the shot and I checked it out on
the monitor. Oh it's a beautiful shot. Wow, you've got
to come over here by play this. Oh my, that's
really nice, so good, it looks really really good. Sunk
(38:29):
that little lamp a little lamp punch shine so much? Alright,
cool whatever X call action. You can wait the five
seconds and then get into it. Question and action. So
it's it's like a movie within a horror movie. Yeah,
(38:50):
it's like weird in meta. It really is like Quarantine.
I mean, everyone doing the exact same thing over and over. Yeah,
cut beautiful. You guys are doing fabulous closer to acting.
(39:14):
It's really good. Sheila and Chris were amazing. They really
understood what we were going for. Great acting, great chemistry,
and sheer terror. We set our goodbyes to them, and
(39:37):
I told Chris that I hoped I would see him later.
He said, okay, what do you guys think that means?
Finally it was time for our big moment. We were
about to act. We were all nerves and then we
(40:04):
looked at the clock. It was like twelve thirty am.
I'm sorry, but how did we go from knocking this
out in two hours to barely getting around to it
at six? Not only were we stressed out about our parts,
but we were tired and the guys were still setting
(40:26):
up our shot. It was so late. You don't understand.
This was hours after Kyle's bedtime. We had done all
this preparation for our scene beforehand. I met with an
acting coach, strategized on the best ways to run backward,
(40:47):
and visited Hollywood. But when it came time to actually act,
we didn't even have the energy for it. We literally
did two hags and said that it would probably be fine.
I mean to be honest, we did it so quickly.
(41:12):
We don't even have the audio of us doing that
scene that you the listeners have heard over and over.
We hoped it would be good, but honestly, who cares.
I have to get some disease. It's really interesting. I
(41:35):
don't really know how actors do this. Hit hard. It's
really hard hard, you know. I think that hopefully in
the end we come up with a great product that
I really that they will, that will not be able
to ignore. Kyle was so tired she was calling her
(41:57):
short film a product m poor guy. We waited around
until we were officially dismissed by Clay. You've got another
time check. You're not gonna believe this. It was three
a m. How did this happen? What happened? What is this? Okay?
(42:30):
So I think that's a wrap? Yeah, um, guys are
just getting in with the nareson um rap. It's three
Wednesday next day, am yeah, so damn, I'm so tired
(42:54):
that I don't even I don't know how I can't.
I don't even know where my body is anymore. Yeah, like,
how do people do this? I honestly don't even remember
what we did. I honestly feel crazy. I had no
idea filmmaking took so long. I we had done it,
(43:19):
we had made the short film that we would submit
to the Horror Possible. We were by no means done.
There's still remains several stretches of our journey doors yet
to be opened. We would still have to submit the film,
hopefully get in attend the festival and meet Beep macromy
(43:44):
who scared the ship out of us. But honestly, I
am so tired. I just need to go to bed.
I can't a person just go to bed and not
have to wrap things up poetically and present them to
you with a little bow. Okay, okay, we do have
(44:09):
to go to bed. More on all of this later
to be continued. M hm hm, can you actually turn
down the music. I'm trying to get some shot. I
(44:32):
Next time on Truth Hounds it is PM and there's
just been a break in the case. Oh my god
over superfar girl. Oh my god, what we saw next
was um confusing to say the least. That was brutal
to hear. Get me, get that that. I was a
(44:58):
little worried about Anna. Where did that leave us? Did
that mean we were done? That? Was it a ship? Hey?
