excuses for,

for these things, these p-

p- p- paranormal things,

because we, we just

don't wanna believe it.

I mean, I wouldn't have

believed it before...

Well, I'm a little more

open minded these days.

Or I'm just out of my

f***ing mind.

The TV.

The TV.

- But I must ask,

do you see a handsome man

in my future?

I'm not a fortune

teller, Barbara, I'm a medium,

I communicate with the dead.

Oh, dead, alive, I'll take what

I can get.

I'm afraid, it's all been

predestined, my dear.

The future's already been

written for us, for all of us.

It was the TV.

It was the TV.

Daniel.

- I'm sorry,have we met?

Not officially,

but we're gonna be working

on the movie together.

You're behind the scenes, right?

- Oh, yeah uh,

right, right.

Sidney, advisor in

all things paranormal.

- Hey, it's nice to

meet you.

I'm Amanda.

I'm art department.

- Cool.

Anxious to get started?

- The camera, yeah.

I'm a, film junkie I guess.

Well, this is about as

behind the scenes as it gets.

Girls, why don't you go in

and wash out some glasses?

I'll be in in two seconds.

Okay.

Hey, you know there's some

cute girls in the bar.

Why don't you go enjoy

your last night of freedom?

- Thanks, um, I'm good.

Hey, l- listen, Sidney.

Uh, I hate to ambush you

right now,

but since this is your

area of expertise,

something just happened to me in

my room.

I heard a voice.

No, Daniel listen,

I'm sorry but I- I'm

off the clock right now.

Tomorrow I'm all yours.

I promise.

- Yeah, right, sorry.

I'm, I'm, I'm sorry for

bothering you.

I guess I'm just a

little spooked, that's all.

Well, you may have heard the,

the location where we're

going tomorrow

is extremely active.

You're probably just projecting

a bit.

I'd recommend a nice stiff

nightcap to calm the nerves.

I'd invite you in but, um,

well, you understand.

- No, no, I understand.

- I know you do.

Big day tomorrow.

See you on the set.

- See you tomorrow.

Alright, we're almost there.

Are you rolling?

- One sec.

And I'm good.

Okay, we are about to arrive

on set for the first time.

Production starts today on

Defantanus--

- Defanatus.

Defaniti, Defanist--

- Defanatus Soul.

Defanatus, Defanatus.

I have da-faintest idea

how to pronounce this--

movie name.

Okay, we are about to arrive

on set for the first time.

Production starts today on

Defanatus Soul.

Cool.

Hi.

Hey, guys.

Um, we're with the

documentary crew.

OK, perfect.

Um, you have your crew badge?

Uh, yes I do.

Alright, just make sure

you keep it with you

until everyone gets to know you.

Okay, will do.

- Hi.

That's Daniel by the way.

Sarah to set, over.

- Yeah, Sarah, over.

Yeah, I've got the doc crew

here, over.

I've got the doc--

Okay, that was weird.

Yeah, maybe some frequencies

flying around or something.

Base camp, it's Sarah.

- Yeah.

I already said send 'em up.

Copy.

Alright guys, you can go on up

and someone up there will

tell you where to park.

Alright, thank you.

That was weird.

- Ooh.

Okay.

I think I'll probably be fine

if I just pull up right here.

Well, there's Gabe.

Hey!

Hey, guys.

Go ahead and leave

your car here.

We have some PAs that

can unload your gear.

Okay, perfect.

Casper's here.

Over there talking to,

uh, Jacob.

So, maybe you can get a couple

of shots.

Yeah, that'd be,

that'd be wonderful.

Casper's in kind of a

pissy mood.

Mm-hmm.

Problem with the flight.

Just don't get too up

in his grill, alright?

- Yeah, no problem.

Yep.

Tell you what, I'm gonna

turn my mic pack on,

so if you wanna just

hang back here.

- Okay.

Okay, you good?

Excuse me.

Casper, this is Aaron.

He's producing the

behind the scenes stuff.

Hi, nice to meet you.

That's Daniel over

there behind the camera.

Alright just not too much

shooting during,

during the takes, okay?

And when you do,

stay back a ways.

Otherwise it fucks up

my eye line.

Okay.

Yeah, we don't wanna step

on your toes or anything.

I just, uh, probably

gonna have to grab you

every once in awhile for an

interview if that's cool.

Just not too much.

Even if it looks like I'm

not busy, I'm always working,

getting in the zone, prepping.

Don't worry, I'll, I'll

give you what you need.

Of course you will.

Casper's a pro, right?

How many movies?

I don't know, 110.

Man's a superstar.

Alright, well, uh, we'll

get out of your hair.

Uh, I just wanted to say hello

so that you didn't wonder

who the prick is with the camera

who's pointing it in your face.

Alright, Casper,

sorry to interrupt.

Thanks very much.

No worries, it's okay.

Alright, I think--

we're good for out here.

Um, how do we get inside?

Follow me, uh--

Okay.

- You're gonna love

this place, it's super creepy.

This is dope.

Make sure to get good

shots of all this stuff.

Behind the scenes crew.

Yeah.

Aaron, this is Dan.

- Hey man.

Good deal guys.

Uh, word of advice, stay

out of Casper's ass.

He's a little bit moody today.

We messed up his flight.

Yeah, sure thing.

We talked to him outside so--

Hold on a sec.

Go for Mike.

Yeah, okay, I'll be right there.

Hey, guys, listen, I've gotta

run, okay?

Make yourselves at home.

The door you came in is

the one that you go out.

Everything else is boarded up.

Stay out of the elevators,

nothing works.

Makeup, right up there

on the right.

Some bitching stuff

going on today.

Check it out, okay?

Thanks.

- Sweet, thanks man.

If you guys can't get

ahold of me,

go ahead and get ahold

of my Second.

His name's Mike too, okay?

He'll care of anything you need.

Appreciate it, buddy.

- Thank you.

Hey, guys.

Oh, hey.

Ladies.

Hi.

Hello?

- Come on in.

Oh, sh*t, sorry.

Oh, it's fine.

Join the party.

You sure?

Trust me.

This one's not modest.

Seriously, why would I care?

The whole world's gonna see

me like this for the movie.

Oh, the whole world.

That's optimistic.

I'm Aaron, behind the

scenes producer.

We're just shooting some

footage for the DVD featurettes,

that sort of thing.

Come on, don't be shy.

- Hey, I'm, uh,

I'm Daniel.

I'll be in your face

for next couple weeks.

And my tits and my crotch.

- [laughs] Okay.

Uh, what was your name again?

- Me?

- Yeah.

Uh, Vanessa.

- Great, Vanessa

do you mind describing

for the viewers what's

going on here?

Uh, yeah, this is one of

our creepy apparitions.

I'm doing a full body makeup

on her with an airbrush.

Then we'll goop up her hair,

put in some contact lenses,

and instant ghost, on a budget.

- Oh, sweet,

what's this?

Uh, those are silicon appliances

for the main creature,

the Demon.

It'll take about four

hours to apply that makeup.

- Wicked.

You know, it shoots tomorrow

if you wanna be here,

uh, I don't know, about 3:00

a.m. we start the application.

Ooh, 3:
00 a.m., "dead time."

- Alright,

yeah, we will definitely

be here for that.

That sounds dope.

Alright, uh, we'll leave

you to it.

- Sh*t!
