The Story - 4 Reels

Reel 01 - Lights up

The biggest scene of the decade

Findelmeyer Studios has booked the closing shot. The producer has cried twice this week. The director has gone home and isn't picking up.

Reel 02 - Disaster

A memo full of typos

It arrives Monday. Everyone reads it as "long lunch on the back lot" and never returns. Seymour is the only one still clocked in.

Reel 03 - Hero shot

Clipboard. Hat. Common sense.

Equipped with surprising amounts of practical thinking, Seymour decides to finish the film himself. What could possibly go wrong, alone, on a Friday?

Reel 04 - Credits

That part is up to you

Bring back the cast. Salvage the props. Roll the final cut. The continuity department is watching.
