00:00:30I thought I had more time.
00:01:00I thought I had more time.
00:01:30I thought I had more time.
00:02:00I thought I had more time.
00:02:29I thought I had more time.
00:02:59I thought I had more time.
00:03:29I thought I had more time.
00:03:59I thought I had more time.
00:04:01I apologize about that, fellas.
00:04:16I thought I had more time.
00:04:18I thought I had more time.
00:04:22The reason for why we're here is just sit back, have a few drinks, and get to know each other.
00:04:29The symmetry of the symmetry of this film, the way they composed each shot, the acting, I mean, I can't believe it, honestly.
00:04:37It was pretty good.
00:04:38Yeah, okay.
00:04:39The way they go on.
00:04:40The way they go on.
00:04:41It's been a minute.
00:04:46It was amazing.
00:04:47Absolutely amazing.
00:04:48So, Logan, let me tell you, your last film was truly an experience.
00:04:57To think that I'm sitting at this dinner table with potentially the greatest filmmaker of our generation.
00:05:04I can attest to that, Logan.
00:05:05Your last film was something called a religious experience.
00:05:08Fellas, listen.
00:05:09We're just some guys having drinks at a table, that's all.
00:05:15Nick, quite the performance at the Grammys a couple months ago, huh?
00:05:20Yeah, I appreciate that.
00:05:21I'm just more baffled that I'm sitting across this mastermind right now.
00:05:26Men, listen.
00:05:28I understand this is strange, okay?
00:05:31The reason you're here is because you're some of the most creative and talented people in the world right now.
00:05:36Are you just as successful as the next?
00:05:38The world's in front of each and every one of you.
00:05:41Yeah, I made a good film.
00:05:43Great.
00:05:44Awesome.
00:05:47I appreciate your love and support, but I'm just a guy.
00:05:50Truly.
00:05:56And you want to know the difference between us and them.
00:06:04We are the true talent.
00:06:09The unique.
00:06:11The pure.
00:06:15We're not the shallow.
00:06:20So, Andrew, any new projects you've been working on?
00:06:25Yeah.
00:06:26Actually, I'm working on this project right now.
00:06:28It's an adaptation of a book called The Swerve.
00:06:32Yeah.
00:06:33In the...
00:06:34What is it?
00:06:35The Nature of Things, right?
00:06:36Yeah, that's right.
00:06:37The Nature of Things.
00:06:38That's good.
00:06:39What's the story?
00:06:41It's a hunt for an ancient poem that basically tells the future.
00:06:44It's going to be an adventure film, and we have a big budget this time.
00:06:47Pretty excited about that, actually.
00:06:50You're with Old Oaks Entertainment, right?
00:06:51Yeah.
00:06:52Old Oaks Entertainment.
00:06:53Hmm.
00:06:54Any notable castings?
00:06:55We're still in pretty early stages.
00:06:57So, no.
00:06:58Not yet.
00:06:59What about, uh...
00:07:00What about Arthur here?
00:07:02I mean, I don't want to put my foot in my mouth or anything, but, uh...
00:07:05It's a little bit more dramatic than stuff you're used to.
00:07:10Arthur!
00:07:11He says you can't do drama!
00:07:12That's good.
00:07:13That's not...
00:07:14That's good.
00:07:15It would be a dream come true to have you.
00:07:16I love that.
00:07:18I'm just joking.
00:07:19I'm just joking.
00:07:20I'm just joking.
00:07:21Wine?
00:07:22Oh, no thanks.
00:07:23I'm good.
00:07:24This meeting's a celebration of success.
00:07:26Come on!
00:07:27No, seriously, I'm okay.
00:07:30Okay.
00:07:33Flynn, the master artist.
00:07:36What have you been working on?
00:07:37Well, recently I've been working less for myself and more for commission.
00:07:44Not because I need it or anything, but I'm becoming more popular.
00:07:49You see, these wealthy people, they're willing to buy my art for a commission price,
00:07:53to put in their homes, their apartments, or whatever.
00:07:57It's been good to me.
00:07:59Con, what about you big guy?
00:08:01What you been up to?
00:08:02Heard that movie, Nebulous.
00:08:03Yeah, Nebulous.
00:08:05Um, great script.
00:08:08Cosmic murder mystery.
00:08:09Did you watch it?
00:08:10Yeah, I did.
00:08:11Really intense.
00:08:12Had my knuckles wiped the whole film.
00:08:14Not to mention, I think it was your broadest range yet.
00:08:19I appreciate that, Logan.
00:08:21Yeah, but you know, it's good for me now to take some time off.
00:08:25I mean, I've been in this business, what, since I was five years old?
00:08:30So, just taking some time, focus on myself, that kind of stuff.
00:08:36Godspeed.
00:08:38And my musical friend, what of you?
00:08:40I mean, I'm on tour.
00:08:41I mean, pretty much late in tour.
00:08:43But I got the phone call about this, and I mean, I knew it was something I couldn't pass up.
00:08:47So, you know, here we are.
00:08:50I think you made the right choice.
00:09:04Gentlemen, I gather you here on this glorious occasion because you are some of the world's most up-and-coming creators right now.
00:09:10An artist, a musician, an actor, and a director.
00:09:18I gather you here because I've written my next script.
00:09:22And one of you will be chosen to have it and adapt it into any way you so choose as long as you remain true to the text on the page.
00:09:31It is the greatest thing I've ever written.
00:09:35Now, there are a few rules.
00:09:38You must stay until Sunday evening, and you must have a good time.
00:09:43Sunday evening, I will choose the recipient of the script, and that's all.
00:09:47We all go our separate ways.
00:09:50Why won't you make it?
00:09:56Afraid I won't do a justice this time around.
00:09:58My last film drained me, for lack of better words.
00:10:03I believe in one of you.
00:10:05Expect one of us to make it?
00:10:07Bro, I do music. I don't know how to make a film.
00:10:09It's not about knowing.
00:10:11It's about how you see it. Your vision.
00:10:14What's it about?
00:10:16That'll be for the eyes of the chosen one, as you will.
00:10:19Gentlemen, if you don't want to be here, then you can go.
00:10:21There'll be no hard feelings, but, but, but, if you stay, you might like what you find.
00:10:29Plus, when you're gonna have a weekend that's interesting again, look where you are.
00:10:36You in, Andrew?
00:10:38I'm in.
00:10:40Flynn?
00:10:42I suppose.
00:10:44Arthur.
00:10:48Nick.
00:10:49F*** yeah.
00:10:54Good.
00:11:19You gotta let us know how he made that film.
00:11:33It was just a beautiful idea that hit me. Sometimes a rose is a rose is a rose, you know?
00:11:39Listen, I'm a music guy, but I'm also a movie guy.
00:11:42And that s*** was the most mind f***ing movie I've ever seen.
00:11:44It was pretty damn good, wasn't it?
00:11:48Damn good.
00:11:52What's, what's playing on the screen here?
00:11:57Well this, it's an old film, old experimental film, known as Adoration.
00:12:03It runs about 11 to 12 hours long.
00:12:07It fuels my creativity, I watch it all the time.
00:12:10And every time I watch it, it changes.
00:12:14Or I do.
00:12:16I don't know.
00:12:18Is there a story to it?
00:12:19I've been trying to piece one together for a long time now.
00:12:23I believe it's about a young girl wandering the woods.
00:12:27And this young girl has two sides. One side human, but one side something else.
00:12:34Such courage in it.
00:12:35You know, you'd be surprised. I come up as a movie guy.
00:12:43But I'm also a music guy.
00:12:46So I've been experimenting with the guitar a bit.
00:12:51I call this one, The Cave.
00:13:05Let's go!
00:13:35I just damn love you.
00:14:03Got that Robert Johnson vibe in there.
00:14:05Yeah?
00:14:05Robert Johnson, huh?
00:14:10Who's Robert Johnson?
00:14:14Man who sold his soul to the devil at a crossroad in Mississippi.
00:14:18In exchange, the devil handed him back his guitar.
00:14:22Tuned.
00:14:26I got one more for you.
00:14:29I got one more for you.
00:14:34I got one more for you.
00:14:38I got one more for you.
00:14:43I'm going to go off.
00:14:45coule
00:15:19Beautiful song, right, Flynn?
00:15:27Yes.
00:15:33This place is amazing, Logan.
00:15:35You live here year-round?
00:15:37Actually, it runs in the family.
00:15:40It's my father who used to write.
00:15:43But no, usually I'm in my place in New York
00:15:45and my apartment in L.A.
00:15:46I'm very fortunate, you see.
00:15:48I know you guys have all bright futures, too.
00:15:51I mean, we're all practically the same age.
00:15:54I was just at the right place at the right time.
00:15:56It's called luck.
00:15:58Luck may have a part of it,
00:16:00but nobody's going to doubt the greatness in that head of yours.
00:16:02I appreciate that, Arthur.
00:16:04I truly do.
00:16:08So, saw your debut film.
00:16:11Very, very well done.
00:16:13Thank you, man.
00:16:14How were you able to get all the pieces together
00:16:15and make such a good product?
00:16:18Well, uh, I was in my college town
00:16:20and I figured I'd make a movie about depression,
00:16:24existentialism, anxiety.
00:16:26I had my boys there with me,
00:16:27so we did it together,
00:16:29and honestly, I never expected it to,
00:16:31but it blew up.
00:16:32Yeah, I really enjoyed it.
00:16:36Thanks.
00:16:37Truly an accomplishment.
00:16:39If I'm not too bold to say it,
00:16:41you come from the middle of nowhere
00:16:42with no connections in this industry or any others,
00:16:46and yet, you were found.
00:16:49Your voice was heard.
00:16:51Thank you, but, uh, it was very unexpected.
00:16:54Very.
00:16:54Flynn, you're a deeply unique artist.
00:17:01Tell me something profound.
00:17:05Well, I guess it's a famous quote.
00:17:11If you think you are doomed,
00:17:16that's why I paint.
00:17:18If you think you are doomed,
00:17:22that's one way of looking at it, of course.
00:17:24a man's greatest enemy is his mind.
00:17:28But I also believe a man's greatest ally is his mind.
00:17:32So if you think you are doomed,
00:17:34no, I don't believe that.
00:17:36If you think,
00:17:38you may be free.
00:17:41Cheers to that.
00:17:44Cheers to us men.
00:17:45To our work and our lives.
00:17:47Cheers.
00:17:54God, well that was fun, wasn't it?
00:17:56God, well that was fun, wasn't it?
00:18:17Yeah it was.
00:18:18I like your friend Lauren a lot.
00:18:19Yeah, she's the best.
00:18:21Where is she from again?
00:18:22California.
00:18:23She could not stop talking about your movie.
00:18:26Yeah, it was really sweet of her.
00:18:29So have you spoken to mom recently?
00:18:32No, I haven't gotten around to it, but I probably should.
00:18:36You really should.
00:18:37She, I don't know, she just seems super lonely these days.
00:18:42I know, I've just been so busy, I haven't been able to.
00:18:45Yeah, I get it.
00:18:47Well, I mean, thanks for coming to visit me.
00:18:49You're a big shot now.
00:18:50Shut up, you know I love coming out here.
00:18:52Well, there's also one more thing that I wanted to talk to you about.
00:18:55Oh yeah?
00:18:57Um, so I kept it a secret for a couple of days now because I knew you were visiting and I
00:19:02want you to be the first to know.
00:19:05What is it?
00:19:06Um.
00:19:07Don't tell me you're pregnant.
00:19:09No, lose the post.
00:19:10No.
00:19:11Yeah.
00:19:12Oh my God.
00:19:13Can't believe it.
00:19:14Congrats.
00:19:15Thanks.
00:19:16Uh, how do you do it?
00:19:18Uh, come on.
00:19:19I'll tell you in the car.
00:19:20Okay.
00:19:21Wow.
00:19:22I'm so happy for you.
00:19:23Yeah, I mean, he's really the best guy.
00:19:26Uh, you're good to drive, right?
00:19:31Yeah.
00:19:32Oh yeah.
00:19:33What do you think?
00:19:34Uh, I had like one or two, but I'm good.
00:19:35Are you sure?
00:19:36Yeah.
00:19:37Absolutely.
00:19:38Andrew, you're so soft-spoken.
00:19:52I've seen you in interviews before, you're so talkative.
00:20:08Yeah.
00:20:09Yeah.
00:20:10I was probably drunk.
00:20:13Uh, I had a bit of a drinking problem in my last film, so, uh, I've thrown it down a
00:20:20bit.
00:20:21Cheers to that.
00:20:25I guess it takes courage to, uh, when you have a problem.
00:20:37Yeah.
00:20:38Me, myself, personally, I never use this to cope with anything going around me.
00:20:48I use it as a point of celebration amongst friends.
00:20:52It's good.
00:20:54It's good.
00:20:55On tour, I probably drink way too much.
00:20:58I mean, every city, new night, new liquor.
00:21:02There's not really much I can do about it.
00:21:04It's a terrible habit, but, you know, it comes with a career.
00:21:08I love doing it, and I'm rich, so it gets me gone.
00:21:11You enjoy performing?
00:21:12Yeah, of course.
00:21:13I mean, I love performing.
00:21:15All my best memories.
00:21:17I loathe our shows.
00:21:20Having random, unintelligent rat critics scurry around my work.
00:21:26Trying to figure it out.
00:21:29That's why I drink.
00:21:31It was a funny thing.
00:21:34In old Italy, a parallel between alcohol and death.
00:21:40Not saying alcohol necessarily causes death, no.
00:21:44But it moves us from a point of clear consciousness closer to death.
00:21:50As if we're on a spectrum.
00:21:52Funny, isn't it?
00:21:54Because when you drink, you feel so much more alive.
00:22:03And I must warn you.
00:22:06I have another guest in the house.
00:22:09He's my doctor.
00:22:11Well, more my mentor.
00:22:15I've been going through a slightly troubled time since my last film,
00:22:20and he's helping me through it.
00:22:22He's a bit anti-social.
00:22:24A bit unorthodox.
00:22:26But pay him no mind.
00:22:28He means very well.
00:22:30What kind of doctor?
00:22:33Psychologist.
00:22:35More or less.
00:22:37Don't be startled when you see him.
00:22:40He's just a bit out there.
00:22:43Out there how?
00:22:45You'll know when you see him.
00:22:50It's a big thing.
00:22:53What's up?
00:22:55You'll know.
00:22:56That's it.
00:22:58To be continued...
00:23:28To be continued...
00:23:58To be continued...
00:24:28To be continued...
00:24:58To be continued...
00:25:28Uncomfortable here.
00:25:31The only reason I can see causing that is you witnessing a masked man wander outside your room at night.
00:25:36It's true.
00:25:40Why does he wear that mask?
00:25:44He's strange.
00:25:46His methods aren't always approved.
00:25:49Approved?
00:25:51Approved how?
00:25:52He uses hypnotism.
00:25:56He uses hypnotism.
00:25:57Brings me to a place of peace and clear-mindedness.
00:26:01The mask just calms me.
00:26:05Separates me from his human side.
00:26:08You know what all started right here.
00:26:16What we do.
00:26:19On walls just like these.
00:26:22What's that?
00:26:25Arc.
00:26:25No likes, no streams, no dislikes.
00:26:30Just pure.
00:26:32How do you know if it's any good?
00:26:36Funny.
00:26:39Maybe it's the way it should be.
00:26:40Let's go back.
00:26:48Let's go back.
00:26:49Let's go back.
00:26:53No sleep again, fuck it, I'm healthy, I didn't
00:27:20Smoke a weed again, she left a purse in my sink
00:27:23Neighbors are yelling cause the kitchen started smelling like the weed
00:27:26Me and my friends are outside rolling and they're hailing, yeah
00:27:29I'm in my room so productive, honestly I'm fucking lying
00:27:32My ass is doing nothing, everything I make turns to dust like the urn spill
00:27:37If the shoes fit then I'm returning up to goodwill, homie this is slip
00:27:41Walker, events were so unfortunate, scribbles on the canvas
00:27:44Hopefully they turn to portraits, yeah
00:27:46My verse is like a Pollock painting, hopping out of hibernation
00:27:51Strictly for the pollination
00:27:53Why?
00:28:15Why do you keep making me watch this?
00:28:32Please shut this off.
00:29:02Logan, I swear on my life, I saw a body right there, just, just floating.
00:29:32Motionless.
00:29:36You're telling me you saw a dead body in my pool?
00:29:43Yeah, I mean, I thought I did, I could just be scaring myself.
00:29:54What was it?
00:29:57I don't know, I couldn't tell.
00:30:01Strange.
00:30:02So what's been going on with Flynn?
00:30:10I have no idea, but I'm not associating with that schizophrenic, splatterpainting maniac.
00:30:16What?
00:30:17Why?
00:30:18He's a good guy.
00:30:20I don't doubt that, but have you not heard this story?
00:30:26What story?
00:30:27Alright, look.
00:30:28The man was institutionalized his whole life.
00:30:32He gets out, a year later his entire home burns down and his whole family dies.
00:30:38They say it was a coincidence.
00:30:39I don't really buy it.
00:30:40I don't really buy it.
00:30:41Oh my god.
00:30:42That's terrible.
00:30:43You got a cigarette?
00:30:44Yeah.
00:30:52What's up?
00:30:53Sleepwalker.
00:30:54I'm curious how you came up with that.
00:30:59That's a good question.
00:31:00I guess I just kind of see people, these zombies, just kind of going through the motions everyday
00:31:06sleepwalking and sleepwalking.
00:31:16Same one of those zombies too.
00:31:21I can get to that.
00:31:31Same one of those zombies too.
00:31:35I can get to that.
00:31:37What about you, Arthur?
00:31:42How'd you get into acting?
00:31:45Like I said last night, I mean, I've been doing this since I was five years old.
00:31:53I guess it stems from my father.
00:31:56Let's just say he was a loose cannon.
00:31:58And when I was young, my mother wanted to get me away from that as much as possible.
00:32:03So when I was young, she signed me up for acting classes.
00:32:06I mean, I started doing that and it's led me to this point.
00:32:12Oh.
00:32:14You've done pretty damn well for yourself.
00:32:16You should be proud of that.
00:32:19I guess I'm just scared.
00:32:22I'm scared that these violent roles I portray
00:32:25are just slowly turning me into him.
00:32:33So why do you think he chose us?
00:32:34I mean, there's millions of actors, directors, musicians.
00:32:38I don't get what makes us so special.
00:32:40Because they're all f***ed up in the head.
00:32:42Because they're all f***ed up in the head.
00:33:10I don't.
00:33:31Oh.
00:36:02I see you're not drinking.
00:36:14Which is admirable.
00:36:18But you gotta think, you're in a position most people would kill for.
00:36:23You're at a beautiful home with one of the world's most acclaimed directors and other successful creatives.
00:36:29And yet, you seem to not be enjoying yourself.
00:36:34It's not that.
00:36:36It's just something happened to me recently and I don't like not feeling in control anymore.
00:36:44No time for control.
00:36:51Beautiful day, isn't it?
00:36:55Yes.
00:36:57Yes.
00:38:19Pulp Fiction is overrated.
00:38:22You go to your goddamn mind?
00:38:25Look, you're a musician.
00:38:27I wouldn't expect you to understand.
00:38:29But Pulp Fiction is a stroke of genius.
00:38:31Fight Club.
00:38:35Fight Club.
00:38:36Now that is a film.
00:38:38You could boast Tarkovsky of a live long day if you want to.
00:38:41But Fight Club is prime cinema.
00:38:44Honestly, one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
00:38:47Your last album was garbage.
00:38:50Are you f***ing kidding me?
00:38:51Coming out to my work, I literally added number one on the billboard.
00:38:54Do you know how hard that is?
00:38:54I don't care.
00:38:55It's my opinion.
00:38:57Nick.
00:39:01I don't know much about you or where you come from.
00:39:06Tell me a little bit about yourself.
00:39:07I mean, honestly, not much to tell.
00:39:12I bounced around a lot as a kid.
00:39:15Never really knew my dad.
00:39:17But I was always pretty inspired by music.
00:39:19That was pretty much my sanctuary.
00:39:21Made a band with my friends.
00:39:23I mean, got picked up by a label.
00:39:25Did some shows.
00:39:27Saw some success, but eventually broke up because of creative differences.
00:39:30It's probably how I lost all my friends, but I mean, that's how it goes when you're creative.
00:39:38You got a girl?
00:39:39No, I don't have a girl.
00:39:40But you know how a tour goes.
00:39:42F***ing everything with a heartbeat.
00:39:45Honestly, I would like a girl, but never really met one that has good intentions.
00:39:51I'm always on the road meeting so many people.
00:39:54Everyone just wants different things.
00:39:56I don't know.
00:39:57I guess it's what comes with the industry.
00:39:58It comes with the job.
00:40:00One day, maybe.
00:40:04There was once a story of a saint.
00:40:12Saint Francis of Assisi.
00:40:17This man was a prince, a partier, an heir.
00:40:24One day, some say, he heard the voice of God.
00:40:29Speaking to his ear.
00:40:33He gave up his old life and occupied a new one.
00:40:37One of simplicity.
00:40:39One of purity.
00:40:40Later on, he underwent an experience known as the stigmata, otherwise known as the wounds of Christ.
00:40:52To him, this was not suffering, no.
00:40:57To him, this was ecstasy.
00:41:02Imagine the feeling.
00:41:03He went on to worship the sun, the moon, the sands.
00:41:15He would save worms from rose so they were not crushed.
00:41:20And he went on to become the great saint.
00:41:28Beautiful story, isn't it, Arthur?
00:41:34You're a friendly scrap?
00:41:46Yeah.
00:41:46Logan, tell us when.
00:41:48Yeah.
00:41:49Oh, shit.
00:41:50Look at that.
00:41:51Oh, shit.
00:41:52Come on.
00:41:53Come on.
00:41:54Fight.
00:41:55Are you kidding me?
00:41:59Are you kidding me?
00:42:16Arthur, what the f*** man? You could have f***ing killed him.
00:42:21Dude, what? You have to f***ing help him.
00:42:29Ecstasy.
00:42:42I got you. I got you.
00:42:48Hey.
00:42:54What the f*** are you doing up there?
00:42:59You'll be alright, huh? I'm gonna take care of you.
00:43:03Alright, my way down right here.
00:43:06Why are we by the pool?
00:43:08We just gotta get away from those guys for a second.
00:43:12You need anything?
00:43:13No, no. I just need some air.
00:43:14Okay.
00:43:15Okay.
00:43:16You let me know.
00:43:17You let me know.
00:43:19You let me know.
00:43:23You let me know.
00:43:24You and I, I don't know.
00:43:26Why are we by the pool?
00:43:28We just gotta get away from those guys for a second.
00:43:30You need anything?
00:43:31No. I just need some air.
00:43:32Okay.
00:43:34You let me know.
00:43:37Andrew, something's not right here, it's in the air.
00:44:05How do you mean?
00:44:10I paint because I had loving parents who pushed me in the direction of creativity.
00:44:20But there was always more.
00:44:25I dream.
00:44:28And when I dream, I see things.
00:44:32What kind of things?
00:44:34Horrible things.
00:44:44I once had a dream that my house was burning with my family inside of it.
00:44:53I woke up to my house ablaze.
00:45:02I was the only one able to escape.
00:45:06I couldn't sleep for months.
00:45:11That's terrible.
00:45:13I'm really sorry.
00:45:15I changed my name.
00:45:19I occupied a new life.
00:45:22One of purity.
00:45:28You know, your art is so bright and colorful.
00:45:42I never would have known you had such a dark past.
00:45:49Colors of fire and smoke.
00:45:56I had a dream before I came here.
00:46:01I saw the doctor.
00:46:05I saw his mask.
00:46:08Here.
00:46:11I don't know what it meant.
00:46:14I don't know what it means.
00:46:19But it was unsettling.
00:46:22Soon you've seen him too.
00:46:26He wanders.
00:46:29He's lurking.
00:46:30He's watching us.
00:46:34Who is he?
00:46:36I don't know.
00:46:42Can I ask you a question?
00:46:46Yeah.
00:46:50You take medication?
00:46:55I do.
00:46:59You think you should be drinking on it?
00:47:03No.
00:47:06Listen.
00:47:10I don't feel in control here.
00:47:15There's no time for control, Andrea.
00:47:29I don't feel in trouble.
00:47:30I don't feel in trouble.
00:47:31Can you feel in pain, Trent?
00:47:35I think that's right.
00:47:37I don't feel in pain.
00:47:38I don't feel in pain.
00:47:39I know, I've got to lead you to death.
00:47:40I can still feel in pain.
00:47:41I don't feel in pain, I'm really sorry.
00:47:43Like in pain.
00:47:44I just didn't feel in pain.
00:47:45I feel in pain, I'm losing pain.
00:47:46I'm losing pain.
00:47:47So that's not a strong thing, I can feel in pain.
00:47:49I was losing pain.
00:47:50Quite the show you put on.
00:48:07What are you talking about?
00:48:11I don't understand, I don't understand what happens when I'm here tomorrow and this new
00:48:27project becomes mine.
00:48:29You just gotta be patient, okay?
00:48:40I'm not patient.
00:48:43I've never been patient.
00:48:52How do I get it?
00:48:57That you gotta find out for yourself.
00:49:00The movies you're in, pretty violent, right?
00:49:05A lot of training, I presume.
00:49:13It's funny, the more real violence looks on screen, the more audiences respond.
00:49:17It's interesting because if it were to be real and an audience just believed it was staged,
00:49:29it would applaud unbeknownst to its haunting reality.
00:49:35You'd have to be psychotic to do that.
00:49:45Great is usually all.
00:49:48All right.
00:50:11Andrew. Sit down, keep me company. Where is everybody?
00:50:35I think Flynn and Arthur went to bed and Nick is resting by the pool. It's been a long day.
00:50:45I'm thinking a lot. What do you know about astral travel?
00:50:56Astral travel?
00:50:58Yeah, like a person leaving their physical body and traveling the universe in any way they so choose.
00:51:07I mean, I've heard of it, but I don't really know much about it.
00:51:16You know, there's no evidence, scientific evidence of the human soul.
00:51:23But I think it's so ignorant to think we're just here to multiply.
00:51:31You know, we are the eyes of the universe, watching itself.
00:51:40And sometimes you don't like what you find.
00:51:50You know, I know what happened to you.
00:51:55What?
00:51:57I...
00:52:01I didn't feel comfortable talking to you about it, but we had a good day today.
00:52:07And I figured you can tell me a little bit about it.
00:52:15How about you take a drink and tell me about it?
00:52:22If you know what happened to me, why would you ask me if I wanted a drink?
00:52:28Take a drink and tell me about it.
00:52:35Andrew.
00:52:37Okay.
00:52:38So I went down to Dallas, where she worked.
00:53:02She wanted to introduce me to her friends.
00:53:07And, uh, so we went out and I was the one driving that night.
00:53:19And she asked me, right before we got in the car, if I was good to drive.
00:53:30And I said yes.
00:53:33And I put the key in the ignition.
00:53:40That was the biggest mistake of my life.
00:53:46You know what happened, it's nice.
00:53:51You killed your sister.
00:53:57It's alright.
00:54:15It's alright.
00:54:20I'm going to sleep now, okay?
00:54:26Have a good night, Atlas.
00:54:50I'm going to sleep now.
00:55:20I'm going to sleep now.
00:55:50We have to call the cops.
00:56:02We don't need to call the cops.
00:56:06Nick was a druggie.
00:56:10He found heroin in his bags.
00:56:13He was high.
00:56:14He fell into the pool, and he drowned.
00:56:20He was an artist on the run.
00:56:23He had no family.
00:56:26Careers will be ruined if police were to get involved, if press were to get involved.
00:56:32And none of us here want that.
00:56:36This weekend was a secret.
00:56:40It remains a secret.
00:56:42It does not exist.
00:56:48You will all understand by the end.
00:56:53Okay, Andrew?
00:56:57Arthur.
00:57:01Yeah.
00:57:02Flynn.
00:57:06Flynn.
00:57:09Flynn.
00:57:12Yeah?
00:57:13There are shovels in the shed.
00:57:17You bury them.
00:57:17I'm going to sleep.
00:57:19I'm going to sleep.
00:58:20Good work, men.
00:58:22Let's go back to the pool.
00:58:25Drinks on me.
00:58:27What have we done, Flynn?
00:58:45Where are we?
00:58:58Where's Arthur?
00:59:01You feeling okay?
00:59:03I had another dream last night.
00:59:17The one with my parents.
00:59:20But it was me who burnt the house down.
00:59:32That is why I survived.
00:59:35That's not real.
00:59:40I don't know what's real, Andrew.
00:59:46I don't remember.
00:59:49I don't remember.
00:59:50I don't remember.
00:59:52I don't remember.
00:59:54You have to go to the pool.
00:59:55I don't remember.
00:59:56There is something that was scary.
00:59:57That was a really cool part.
00:59:58I didn't know about it.
00:59:59I could tell you.
01:00:00You can't wait.
01:00:01I will see it.
01:00:02I don't know.
01:00:03You can't wait.
01:00:04I don't know.
01:00:05I don't know.
01:00:06You can't wait.
01:03:07Who are you?
01:03:13What are you doing to us?
01:03:15What are you doing to us?
01:03:45What are you doing to us?
01:04:15What are you doing to us?
01:04:16What are you doing to us?
01:04:17What are you doing to us?
01:04:21Arthur, what are you doing to us?
01:04:27Arthur, what have you done?
01:04:28Don't you know he's done something to us?
01:04:30You're not yourself.
01:04:32What are you doing to us?
01:04:33Let's go!
01:04:40I don't know.
01:05:10I don't know.
01:05:40I don't know.
01:06:10I don't know.
01:06:40I don't know.
01:06:41What the hell is going on?
01:06:45When you put down the gun, I'm not going to hurt you.
01:06:50Hurt me.
01:06:51You're not going to hurt me.
01:06:53I'll shoot you right now if you don't tell me what's going on.
01:06:57Allow me.
01:06:59It's called air.
01:07:01H-E-I-R.
01:07:05In 1800s France, there was a man named Josephine Paladin.
01:07:16He began an academy, one that worshipped art.
01:07:21There is spirituality in what we do.
01:07:27Religion will die, but art will remain forever.
01:07:32When churches burn and temples crumble, we will praise in the concert hall.
01:07:38When priests betray and idols become human.
01:07:45We will pray to the ones who give us stories and songs.
01:07:51This is our fate, Andrew.
01:07:54What are you talking about?
01:07:56What many don't know is that the academy is the reason for pop culture today.
01:08:05The most influential artworks and films have been curated in order to choreograph modern-day thought.
01:08:18The world has been hypnotized.
01:08:21You, here, have been hypnotized.
01:08:27So the vial in your bedroom, that's what that is.
01:08:33Like those who came before me, I have learned about hypnosis.
01:08:41And I needed a little extra help.
01:08:43It's called scopolamy.
01:08:45It gives the taker a sense of obedience.
01:08:50I wanted to gather the greatest creative minds at the zenith of their lives to see what they would do.
01:08:57You were the most repellent because of your mind.
01:09:03You survived because of the strength of your mind.
01:09:06There is no escaping the hypnosis for the ordinary.
01:09:12It's in the films you watch, in the books you read, in the art you're moved by, in the songs you love.
01:09:23Some, like me, just know how to use it, to orchestrate it, to create it.
01:09:32This script in my hand is the next link in a century-long chain of true, hypnotic, spiritual art.
01:09:45And it's yours.
01:09:48Why don't you make it?
01:09:51I haven't been chosen.
01:09:54The Academy wants you.
01:09:59Your vision.
01:10:01Not mine.
01:10:03What is it even about?
01:10:11Tell me.
01:10:12What is the film about?
01:10:14It's a beautiful gun in your hand, isn't it?
01:10:20Yes.
01:10:23Please.
01:10:33Thanks a lot.
