Okay, what are we doing now?

We gotta, I have to

I have to go through this
cause I'm gonna have to read

opposite all of these people

at the audition,
so I need to basically--

I think to elicit the best
performance from them,

I need to actually
kind of perform myself.

Right?

Am I supposed to be
acknowledging you or

What is the format
for this documentary?

Is it like fly on the wall?

I don't know
that you're here or am I

Are we breaking the fourth wall?

Sam's first audition.

This is my box of,

you know,

show business related stuff.

My Oscar.

I got it at Suncoast Video,

and I was so angry that it
was not like the actual shape

of the Oscar statue.

I wanted to saw the arms off.

Sarah Michelle Gellar.

I had the biggest crush,
and she was in Buffy,

but then she was in,

I Know What You Did
Last Summer,

which was almost
as significant as Scream,

but then she was also
in Scream 2.

My favorite actresses
in order are Lucille Ball,

Sarah Michelle Gellar,
Kirstie Alley.

And Shelley Long.

I also like Goldie Hawn.

Well, gotta go study. See ya.

Kirstie Alley?

So, this was
when I was in The Wiz,

I was the scarecrow.

This was a script,

I have all
of my lines highlighted.

This I want to print.
I wanna get this digitized.

This is my Palm Pilot

because I was always
an entrepreneur

and I would get my emails.

Oh my god,
what a life, what a legacy.

Well,

I think this illustrates,
you know,

what I'm gonna do,
what I'm capable of.

You know, we got musicals,

we got scary movies,

we got Sarah Michelle.

We got the trifecta.

So I want to make a musical.

I was gonna adapt
the novel I wrote,

but I thought,

Better to do something
with a built-in fan base, right?

So I have this vision
for Scream: The Musical.

Kristen,
who's a dear friend of mine,

has been performing since
she was just a small child.

And I thought
she would be perfect,

to play the titular role
of Sidney Prescott.

I feel she can deliver a real
tour de force performance.

And so we feel we have
all of the elements, right?

But of course,
we need some financial backing.

And it can be simple.

I'm not looking to write
the next Phantom of the Opera.

I just want something fun
and campy like Scream.

-But on the stage.
-Croissant?

- No darling.
- My friend?

- I will take a croissant.
- I got them from Paris.

I'm still in the French mode,

- Oh, darling.
- ...you know I can't--

- You were in France?
- Well, yeah. Yeah.

I love the sound of--

- But--
- And you could.

You could.

And we thought this could be
a nice reintroduction

to the theater--

Is something--

Rolling.

I don't know where it is.

-Mohna? Thank you.
-Okay.

You know Mohna is my good friend

and we work together
on some stuff, and she's

I would say like a
Broadway aficionado.

- Right?
- I would say so.

So I said, all right.

I need a little lubrication.
I got wet the whistle.

I'm not driving,
thank you, honey.

It's the spicy or no?

- No.
- Thank you. Okay.

All right, so we've got

These are all out of order now.
Hold on.

So it's, "What's Your Favorite
Scary Movie?"

"I Think I Have
the Wrong Number."

"The Woodsboro Murders,"
"100% Cotton."

"I'll Send You a Copy."

"Come to Mother."

"I'll Be Right Back."

"One Too Many Scary Movies,"

"Don't You Blame the Movies."

So those are the titles.

So my biggest focus is:

What kind of melodic structure

can we incorporate
with these titles in mind?

What key is this?

This is in D flat.

Okay.

Not a good key for you?

You tell me.

- It sounds good.
- Okay, let's try it.

♪ Night time sharpens ♪

♪ Heightens each sensation ♪

♪ Darkness stirs ♪

♪ And wakes imagination ♪

♪ Silently the senses ♪

-Okay, so
-That was good.

That's the melody,

so, if it's.

A flat or G Sharp,
I don't really care.

Got it.

- You tell me what
- We have people for this?

We have people lined up
for the show?

We're in casting now.

- You know what I mean?
- Okay great.

We're a little bit behind
the eight ball then.

If we don't have the music
and you're casting the show.

We'll take it from
the top of the scene.

I will read the parts of Dewey,

Tatum and Sydney
and you just read Gale,

Dewey and Tatum
are officers or friends?

Excuse me?

Dewey and Tatum
are officers or friends

Dewey is the sheriff
of the town.

-So you have not seen the films?
-I have not.

-Okay.
-Are we filming?

Yeah but you don't

The cameras are for

I was waiting for an "action"

The cameras are for behind
the scenes of the musical

but you're strictly here
for the audition.

My specialty is improv,

so I feel I can bring
a lot to the character.

- Oh really?
- Yeah.

I also perform all over
the Country on cruise ships,

casinos, mega resorts

I'll send you a copy.

That's a very important line.

Should I look at you
or at the camera?

- You can look at me.
- Okay.

-Actor brain. Sorry.
-That's okay.

I used to sing
with a geriatric jazz band

called, Jazz Alive.

-Jazz a what?
-Jazz Alive.

I'll send you a copy.

And then Sydney
punches her in the face.

Bitch goes down.
It's a really iconic scene.

I would love to have you
at least read for the role

of the ghost
of Maureen Prescott.

I think that you have
certainly the right look.

- You need to sell this, okay?
- Uh-huh.

-How old are you?
-I'm 20.

This is such an important
detail is the voice.

-Yeah.
-I'll send you a copy. Okay?

-I'll send you a copy.
-Once more.

I mean I'm not saying
this is beneath me,

I'm not saying that,
I'm just saying, "Hmm."

-I'll send you a copy.
-No.

I'll send you a copy.

-No.
-Okay.

It is a great opportunity
for an actor

Of your

-Caliber?
-Caliber.

Never, under any circumstances
ever say:

"I'll be right back."

Alright, this is exciting.

Not official,
just telling you that

-I won't say anything.
-You're our first choice.

Alright?

We'll email you.
You have email, yes?

- I do have email Sam.
- Okay, beautiful.

-Okay, thank you so much.
-Thank you, Ruby.

Alright, take care.

-You too. Bye.
-Bye.

- Right, the lead.

Right.

Not in my musical, okay?

It's always been
about Gale Weathers.

She saves the day at the end.

She survives
the entire franchise

Uh-huh.

And she is the most bad ass
character in this film,

in my musical so I need you
to understand that.

I need you to embody
that in every scene.

I need you to know

that regardless of what
the script says

and what the audience's
perception might be.

Oh, that "It's all about
Sydney Prescott."

- Okay.
- It's about Gale Weathers.

This is the Gale Weathers
fucking show.

Okay.

What, uh--

What puzzle?
Like meaning wh--

What the fuck?

No Scream!

Excuse me!

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

- We all scream
- Alright, listen to me.

- For no Scream
- Ruby, listen to me.

- I scream
- You didn't get the part. Okay?

- You scream
- I'm sorry we went

in a different direction,
I'm done with it Ruby.

Stop emailing me,
stop calling me, and please--

- For no Scream
- You know what?

- Ruby.
- I scream

- Can somebody? I mean she's
- No Scream!

- Ruby, let me--
- I scream

- Ruby. Excuse me. I'm sorry.
- No Scream!

Let me tell you something
right now, Ruby.

Listen.
This is tortious interference.

- I'm really worried about her.
- I scream

- I'm wondering if we should
You scream

call paramedics.

"My son don't forget
my teachings.

But keep my commandments.

For they would bring you
many days full of life

in the things that you--"

I won't do the commandments.

Okay.

I know the commandments.

- "Thou shalt not steal"
- This isn't

I need something
a little bit more inspirational.

Something explicitly kind of--

You know. Ooh.

My prescription's ready
at White's.

What are you taking now?
I mean

They have me on a beta blocker

for the high blood pressure.

Acute hypertension

technically is the term, but

-I'm in the wrong--
-I'm on the wrong page.

I was going to say,
that's not the response

Where my line at?

- At the top?
- At the bottom.

I'm at the wrong page.
I got to stop for a second.

- Oh, we're in a car?
- I don't understand

why I can't do the Asian
American accent.

You don't have one
in this whole play.

What about Gale Weathers?
I sound like a meteorologist.

Could talk like Russian.

She could do Russian,
we'd be in a Russian

We're investigating
the crime in Kiev.

That's funny.

You could do Russian.

Scott, listen to me.

I need you

to play the role of Dewey Riley.

Outfit.

Love a leopard moment, but

I thought this was consignment
so one of a kind pieces,

but I guess she has some

inventory thing.

Why do you have a flask?

Yeah.

Oh, you were?

Oh, yeah. Okay.

I will have a check today.

-Today?
-Okay.

Yup

Oh, but it was
substantial?

Hundred?

Oh, okay.

Okay, alright.
Well maybe big ticket,

Big ticket items.
Alright, cool.

Will you text me and let me know
when it's ready

- and I will come back urgently.
- Yeah, absolutely.

Hello everyone, welcome
to Talk of the Hamptons.

My guest today is Sam,

who's going to be talking
to us about his musical.

Sam, thank you
for being here today.

Thank you for having me, Berfin.

Sam, tell us a little bit more.

So it's actually a musical
version of the movie Scream,

the horror film from 1996
directed by Wes Craven.

It's been a passion project
of mine for many years.

I loved the film,
we're knee deep in rehearsal,

everything is going swimmingly.

I've got an incredible
group of actors

and the support of the town.

The play premieres
on January 8, 2022

at Bay Street Theater
in Sag Harbor.

Wonderful.

How many tickets
have you sold so far?

We have sold plenty.

We have sold plenty of tickets

but of course,
it's a large theater

and we do thankfully still
have some tickets available

so get them while they last.

Get 'em. Yeah. Get 'em.

Yes people,
you heard Sam,

go out there and purchase
some tickets.

It's going to be
an amazing show.

Thank you.

Of course.

Ohh. Okay. But it's okay.

We have a big following so
it's going to be a big success.

- Are we live?
- Yeah.

Okay. Any viewers?

Let's wait a couple moments,
we'll wait for some viewers.

We are releasing a custom blend
of full spectrum CBD gummies

inspired by Scream: The Musical.

These are really going
to target stress and anxiety.

We have some viewers.
Who do we have?

- Mary.
- Mary?

Our blend is going to be
specially formulated with

With Wu, wyz

Wuwayze,

which is shoshandra fruit.

So it's a super versatile
French terry cloth.

French terry cloth
from Portugal.

From Portugal.

Then it's also going to have...

Uhm, gung ko licorice root.

- Gung So.
- Gung So licorice root.

- Great for calming.
- Great for calming.

- Right.
- And also this is the one,

the Tubi chang
which is wingless cockroach.

We've reimagined it
for Scream: The Musical,

so it's going to be
a vintage black,

solid base with the iconic
Hamptons Hobby club logo

with a smiley face, but in

These are actual cockroaches,
dried cockroaches.

In white.

So it will be a white face
as opposed to yellow.

- Oh my god.
- Mango.

Mango, it's a candy.

It's candy with health benefits.

Anyone asking any questions?
Do we have any questions
from our live viewers?

Anyone saying they want
to place an order?

Do we have any
viewers whatsoever?

Well let's give it
a few more minutes

and we'll see if anyone has
any questions.

Aye-yi-yi.

I mean, I love him
but I have to tell you,

he's quite a challenge.

He gets so over

Tell him to get in the back.

- excited and-- Like now.
- Get in the back.

Pointing.

- I know where we're going.
- Can you get in the back?

I don't want to be filmed
from behind like this
with the back lighting.

- Mohna, is that okay?
- What?

I'm gonna sit back here.
It's better for him.

Okay.

Jesus Christ.

Did you even vet that one?
Did you vet any of these?

Yes, I did.
I couldn't get into it.

That one was a real
fucking doozy.

I couldn't get into it.

It wasn't even an apartment,
it was a room.

It was a bedroom

What the fuck?

It was a bedroom
with a shared bathroom.

I know
what you're looking for

I don't know if that's the case.

Goddamnit!

Mohna, listen to me,

I gave you very
strict parameters.

So far the three properties
we've seen,

the first one had a bathroom
that was being repaired,

she said you have
to use the porta john,

the second one
had no electricity,

It had a mini fridge
and an electric stove top,

And this one was not even

a separate apartment.

It was a bedroom
with a shared bathroom.

I don't even know
who I'm sharing it with.

It could be a person's child.
I mean

It doesn't make any sense

It's a complete
waste of my time.

You sure you went
to the right place?

It's a little dicey.

- Hey guys!
- Hi.

Thank you for coming.

You know what?
We'll do a little--

I'm negative.
I tested negative twice.

- Great.
- Brought you coffee.

Uhm. You're early
or I'm late, I don't know.

Look at this, wow.

Nancy Atlas, huh?
They go all out.

Uhm, so I learned yesterday--

Have you guys met?

-No.
-Not really we've--

So Kristen, Mark.

You were not there the day
that we did the zoom rehearsal.

You had a funeral.

Okay.

By the way, Mark, sorry,
lot going on.

I'm just getting back,
kind of getting my bearings.

Amanda can't be here,
she's got tons going on

with Christmas pageant
and Advent season, whatever.

I had them set up the keyboard
but it's sorta pointless

because I can't play
and I don't know if you play.

- No.
- No.

Anyway,
let me hand these out.

You have the almond,

- you have an almond.
- Thank you.

You had the oat milk.

We've got to keep
our crew energized.

Got the oat milk.

This is for me
and you got nothing.

Why don't we gather
around the piano?

- Okay, so when
- Breath on the top.

you're going to the top
you're reaching for that note

and I want you to think as you
go higher I want you to think
going lower.

So just invert it right?

- Got it.
- So when you're going think:

So rather than reaching high for
the note, you're reaching low
for the high note.

- Does that make sense?
- Yeah.

- Give me that.
- Okay.

I...

I don't know.

I feel like we are way
behind the 8 ball.

I mean, I think...

This was a pipe dream.

This 13 originals, I think.

I'm willing to, kind of,
sacrifice that.

Uh-huh.

No, this one, we need.

This is Gale. This is titular.

-Okay.
-Keep that.

We'll keep that.

But that needs work too.

"Come to Mother."
This is the one

"Come To Mother"
is locked in my opinion.

I'm putting this
in the done pile.

- I feel like at this--
- Deputy Dewey, I--

- At this point I'm feeling like
- "Don't Blame the Movies."

what's even the point of me...

- What do you mean?
- staying on this.

Because who's going to do this?

I don't even know
how to play the piano.

Well...

For a coffee,
press "barista drinks".

A latte, for example.

-Small, medium, large.
-Latte is no foam?

Latte is no foam
with steamed milk and espresso.

Hi, good morning.

Good morning.

-Good morning.
-How are you?

I'm doing well Ruby,
good to see you.

I do, yeah.
I'm thankful to be employed.

Yeah, in this economy.

Do you know Sam?

We know each other.

We go way back.

Ruby, what can we get

for you this morning?

What can we get for you?

The acai bowl, sure.

Under kitchen.

Peanut butter.

And would you like
the house made
or the regular creamy?

- House made.
- You remember. Good.

Almond. Do we do shaved almond
or whole almond?

Or give them a choice?

Shaved almond. Okay.

Excuse me?

Do you think the AC
is going to be a problem?

Chris? Oh my god, hi!
You're early!

I know. I can totally--
I just didn't know where else...

Come in here real quick.
Come, come, come.

Hurry up,
I don't want Kristen to see you.

Come, come, come, come.

How are you, first of all?

What do you want to tell me,

because after those phone calls
I'm gonna lose my mind.

Okay, I have good news
and I have bad news.

-Oh, god. Okay.
-Okay.

- Bad news first?
- Good news first.

The good news is how do you
like the sound

of Kristen Curcie Executive
Producer of Scream: The Musical?

God. Uhm, I mean,
it sounds lovely.

I'd love to be the executive
producer of probably anything--

I honestly think
that is what your strength is

on the producing side.

-Are you kidding?
-No.

Not to say that this

To preface, none of this
is about your talent

or your performing
ability whatsoever.

I know that you are very busy,

you missed a couple
of rehearsals, Kristen.

You're kicking me
out of the musical.

I'm not kicking you
out of the musical.

I'm saying that I

Someone's come into my life
recently who I feel is

Better than me.

For the particular role
of Sidney Prescott.

-Yes.
-Sam.

- How are you?
- Good. Thank you so much.

Kristen, Chris Brown.

- Hi. Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

Chris, nice to meet you.

You take this and then wait,

-hang out back here.
-Okay.

And then I'm going
to do a little

I want this to be special
because you're joining a cast--

We've been working
together for two months,

- but this is now
- Okay.

between us, uhm...

Mmhmm.

Yeah.

Okay.

I don't want to put too much
pressure on you today.

But what I want is...

Originally we were doing
Phantom of the Opera , kind of

We're trying to write lyrics
to Phantom melodies.

I want to scratch that,
maybe we'll do
Dear Evan Hansen style,

Hamilton style. Like something

- a little bit more energetic.
- Okay.

-Evan.
-Evan Hansen

-I need to watch that.
-You can--

Yeah, okay. You too.

Okay. So wait back here

Wait back here and I'm going
to do a little intro.

-Okay.
-And how do you--

Do you prefer Chris Brown?
Christina Brown?

Chris is cool,
Chris Brown is cool.

And I'll just clarify.
Not that Chris Brown.

- Appreciate it. Thank you.
- Alright.

-Hey guys.
-Hi.

Hannah-Faye?

I'll look for it.

I'll send you a copy.

Alright, we're getting-- Okay.

- Hello.
- Hello.

-Oh, hi.
-How are you?

Come on in.

What am I walking into?

Oh no, no. Come in.

- Actually, it's good.
- Are you okay?

I know that that was intense
and I don't want her to

Because, believe me,

when I did that to Scott
I had terrible guilt over it.

I didn't even feel it.

If you want me to talk to her

-and say okay
-Please don't.

-She's lovely.
-No, she's incredible.

She's gonna save
the fucking show.

Like I said.

But, you know, we were thinking.

You've been working so hard

on this project
and we appreciate it.

But they tell people if you're
going to make a sex tape

play Disney music
in the background

because then it can
never be on YouTube.

- I feel if we're like taking
- That's new.

- I'd never heard that.
- No, it's true.

I don't know,
but that's what I hear.

So I feel like,

you're so concentrated
on this effort

I think you might be fraying
at the edges a little bit.

I'm only bringing this up
because I have an idea.

There's this woman

in Amagansett,
her name is Lauren.

I'm a bit of a cynic, you know?

I don't necessarily

participate in these
types of things.

She said:
"You've got to see Lauren,

she's a psychic in Amagansett."

I said, okay, well...

You know, I'm against it,
you know?

I'm not for it, I'm against it.

- I have just the thing for that.
- I said

-You gonna blow that on me?
-Mm-hmm.

Alright, I don't want
to do anything on my face.

-Okay? Can I cover my face?
-Are you ready?

Yes, absolutely.

But you've got to have
a little faith.

There's some sprinkle dust.

Okay, I see some bad news.

Okay, what kind of bad news?

It's pretty discouraging.

Uhm...

And I know Catherine
recommended you

and she wanted me to be
completely honest with you.

You're in over your head
and it's bringing

a lot of heavy stress upon you.

And, this musical

it's not going to be right
for you at all.

Did Catherine
mention the musical?

Absolutely not.

Please don't even
insult me like that.

Did I mention the musical?

No, never.

The universe mentioned
the musical to me.

The spirit world.

And I don't feel like
it's going to work for you,

-I'm so sorry.
-It's not working.

I can tell you
that much right now.

So I don't I mean

I appreciate
the validation and...

- Can I have one of these?
- Absolutely.

Please.
I know you stopped smoking.

Uhm.

I have. I don't smoke.

Do you have any more matches?

- There you go, my love.
- Uhm, so...

Are the guides

making any suggestions
as to what I should be doing?

You should follow
your heart and your mind.

Yeah.

I don't know
who she thinks she is.

She can't just quit via email.

She owes me an in person
conversation at the very least.

I know she gets out
of rehearsal around this time.

I just want to make this
as graceful as

There she is. Amanda!

Amanda. No.
I need you to reconsider.

-No filming.
-Amanda. No filming.

No, cameras down.

Amanda, I need you
to just please reconsider.

I can't do this
without you, Amanda.

A moment of silence.

I want everyone to breathe.
Everything's going to work.

Are you feeling okay, Thomas?

Oh yeah, I'm good.

So, a couple of company updates.

Amanda's no longer with us.

Oh!

She's alive

Okay.

I thought you meant she's...

Yeah. No.

But she didn't have
the bandwidth.

But I want to assuage any
concerns that anyone's having

because I promise you,
I've never failed at anything

and this is going to happen
one way or the other.

And I don't care what your
friend Lauren has to say.

Because I did pay her a visit.

- You did?
- I did.

Oh, good. I hope--

Did you-- How did it go?

It was, to be expected.

She said we're fucked.
She said we're doomed.

She told me not to do it.

Oh.

Statement as in like the color

-you think? Or pattern.
-Yeah.

I don't love a pattern.

-You don't like patterns.
-You know that,

-remember what happened?
-Yeah, I know.

But we could do something
fun like a green trouser,

maybe partner it
with something gray.

Edward, what do you think?
Pop of color?

I don't do anything
without Edward's approval

when it comes to fashion. What?

It would have to be all black.

He likes the all black.
You know what, though?

The thing is, on the red carpet,

you wanna stand out,
you wanna pop.

- Lisa.
- Yeah.

I like these but I think
I'm gonna need the size up.

Okay.

In these trousers.

I'll go pull you something else.

The color block.

I have another pair for you.

Okay.

There's really nothing.

I love elastic.

I know but that's what
Jade's here for,

because we'll tailor it.

And I like the

Oh my god.

Definitely the sweater.

If not for the premiere just
for the personal collection.

Perfect.

- Alright, let me try these.
- Okay.

These don't feel
like an extra-large.

- Well...
- I like the all black.

I'm just a little--

If we could make these more
of a trouser. I think

- I would feel more confident.
- It's possible.

You stand with a certain
confidence when you

-We have a seam right there.
-We have a seam.

Hello?

Hey there Sam, it's Mike

I know. I know Michael,
what's going on?

Uhm, well, I just got
off the phone with Tracy

and I have
some discouraging news.

Cease and desist.

Copyright infringement.
To whom it may concern,

it has come to our attention
that your stage production,

Scream: The Musical
is identical to Scream ,
the work.

You neither requested
nor received permission

to use the work, therefore
your unauthorized copying

and use of the word constitutes
copyright infringement

in violation of the
United States copyright laws.

If you do not cease and desist

within the above stated
time period we'll be forced

to take appropriate
legal action against you

and will seek all available
damages and remedies.

What

the fuck?

Dimension Films?

That doesn't even exist anymore.

That's Harvey Winstein's
company.

Is Harvey suing me?

That would be iconic
if it were the case,

but I'm just very perplexed.

If this is legitimate...

When you are
finished recording,

you may hang up or press one
for more options.

Hi Kristen, it's Sam.

Listen, as you know,
the studio came after me.

So with the musical
not happening

I'm gonna be taking
a more active role

in the direction of the behind
the scenes film

and I would love for you
to remain on board

as an Associate Producer.

And if so, I thought
maybe your first task

could be getting ahold of
the editor and arranging a time

for me to meet with her
in the city.

I really need to review
some of this footage

and see where things stand.

It's been interesting.
Sam, you know, he thinks

he can just plagiarize
a Broadway musical.

That-- You can't do that.

He knows nothing
about comedy,

he knows nothing
about being funny.

And I've never worked
with somebody as difficult,

as one sided,

as short sided as Sam.

- I'm Michael Mosley,
- Oh, god.

I am the theater manager of Bay
Street theater in Sag Harbor.

He asked me
to get binder clips.

I don't know
if it's just his style,

but the disorganization
has been frustrating to me.

We have no idea what we're
supposed to be doing.

You know Sam will say:
"You don't quite have it."

But he doesn't tell me
what's missing.

As an actor I'm really
looking for some direction.

I mean, it's grotesque.

It is it's thoroughly
beneath this theater.

We don't put out productions
like this, in this town.

We have taste,

we have integrity,
we've got morals.

We have been at the forefront

of guiding this town
culturally for decades.

-How many decades now?
-Decades.

And for them to stoop,
stoop I tell you,

to this level, is outrageous.

I don't know where they think
they're going with this either.

This town will not
put up with that.

It's pathetic.

- Are you feeling okay?
- Mm-hmm.

-Okay.
-Just-- Yeah.

You know, Natalia,

you twisted this
so that I'm the villain

and it's all about
this failed musical.

But that's not
what this film is.

Okay, uhm...

What--

- What is the film?
- Well--

What is it, uhm--
What is the movie about?

I mean, it's a film
about perseverance
and it's about a young boy

and seeing his childhood
aspirations come to fruition.

Is there more footage?
Where that happens?

There will be.
That's why we're still filming.
Because nobody wants

to see the film just end
with the hero having
their dreams crushed.

Who's the hero?

I'm the hero.

Or at least I will be
once this is fixed.

I mean, do you not
get that from this?

And if you don't,
that's a serious problem.

I was so impressed
when I saw your reel, Natalia.

You made that film
about the Ethiopian orphans,

you made the film about

the Peaceful Valley
Donkey Rescue.

That really resonated with me.

I don't care about donkeys.

How do we make people
care about me?

Everybody doubts me
and I'm gonna prove them wrong.

- And that's the film
- Okay...

we need to make
and as the director,

I think that it's up to me
to kind of craft that vision.

-Okay?
-Okay.

-Yeah I got it. So...
-That's what this film's about.

It's to tell the Ruby Jackson's
of the world

to go fuck themselves

and I'm gonna
prove you wrong, okay?

This film does not end
with the musical failing.

Do you understand that?

It ends

I don't know how it ends
at the moment,

we need to figure out
'cause the story's not over.

-Okay.
-The show must go on.

-Are you guys--
-That's the first thing

they teach you in film school.

How are we getting paid then?

You know,
the musical didn't happen,

but everything
happens for a reason

so we're really focused
on the film,

- the behind the scenes film.
- Okay.

'cause documentaries are
really, really viable right now.

There's all these streamers,
the streaming wars.

Everybody's desperate
for content.

So we feel we have
an interesting story.

Oh, okay.

But it's not cheap
to make a movie.

You know?

You know, I think that we flew
too close to the sun,

I think that now what we need
to do is we need to pivot.

And we're going all in
on the film,

on the behind the scenes film.

Because I've seen the dailies,
I've seen some rough cuts.

Alan, you won't even believe.

It's such a profound,
poignant story about me

and this incredible ensemble
of people who rally around me

to try and bring this vision
to the stage

and kind of the trials
and tribulations of it all.

What do you need?
What are you looking for?

Well, what I need really
to elevate the production,

is an investment.

And what I see is mass appeal.

You know? Us on the red carpet
at Cannes, at Venice.

It's so much far beyond
this regional theater.

And as the executive producer,
it would--

You know, it would be
Alan Ceppos Presents

or some verbiage to that effect.
You know, I think that--

How much do you need?

Well, that's the question.
You know?

- And I think that the team--
- Sam.

- How much do you need?
- and I are in the process

of putting a realistic budget.
Kind of line item by line item.

I think really, realistically
I've done things for--

-Sam, how much do you...
-We can do it for about

20,000 is kind of
my magic number.

I mean, like,
20,000 is all I need, Alan.

-I think with 20,000 dollars--
-Done.

Done.

Done with 20?

Oh my god, Alan, really?

- Done.
- Ohh!

No, you have no idea,
this will change my life,

the crews life,

20,000 dollars is all I need
to make this film.

So amaz--

Yeah. Well, that, I mean.

- Done.
- Would you have said yes to 100?

We came up with the idea.

Why don't we do the whole
campaign for the film

in the city?

Connect the two worlds.

So the musical,
New York City, Broadway.

So we're here in front
of the Winter Garden Theater,

most iconic, you could argue.

Let's stay on me.
Let's stay on me,
we'll get that.

Uhm, most iconic

performing arts venue
in New York City

and we're gonna shoot the key
art poster image for the film.

I've hired a photographer
at the last minute.

This all came together
at the last minute.

But we're very excited.

I'm gonna call Camila.

In the meantime,
can I have a hot dog, please?

Pardon?

A little mustard.

No ketchup.

On a hot dog? No.

Did I say hot dog?

I meant a pretzel. I'm sorry.

Ketchup on a pretzel?

Just a pretzel
with a little mustard.

No hot dog. Just a pretzel.

She was supposed
to meet me here,

we haven't spoken in person.
I just, she was referred--

- Pardon?
- 4 dollars.

Four dollars?

Actually a steal. Thank you.

I haven't eaten a thing,
I've been a nervous wreck
all day.

Is that her?

Camila?

Are you Camila?

Hola, como estas?

-Solo espanol?
-Solo espanol.

Okay, uhm...

Okay.

So...

Pardon?

Well, the idea is that

I'm in the costume
in front of the theater,

the Winter Garden theater
and we're gonna replace

the marquee and it will say
"Scream"

You know what?

Let me, I'm--

I don't know
if there's anyone here

maybe who could translate.

Only because I wanted
to give you feedback on...

Okay, uhm...

That's your camera?
Okay.

Let's just take some photos
and we'll see what happens?

You want a little pretzel?

-No, gracias.
-Alright.

I need, like,
necesito direction .

Okay, let me just see

Can I?

Mira.

- Gracias.
- Mm-hm.

Te gusta?

-No? Si?
-No.

No.

Sam, what about this barn
in Wainscott for 12,000 a month?

12,000? No, that's too much.

-Best deal on the market.
-Chris?

Hi, I can't see you.

- Oooh.
- Is that better?

- Hi.
- Hi.

Hi, do you want me
to call you back?

Your service is bad.

-Chris.
-Oh, sorry.

I saw the email but I only
read the subject line.

So, what's going on?

I'm taking your girl to London.

Yeah.

Oh my god, sorry to interrupt.

-6,600 in Sag Harbor.
-That's exciting.

What?

Oh no, I can't hear.

Chris, listen,
we can increase the per diem,

I just need you there
for an hour.

I literally need you there
for one hour.

You'd be the focal point
for the entire campaign.

I found something
for 5,500 in East Hampton.

-How much?
-5,500 and it's in East Hampton.

- Its own private house
- No. Not 5,500.

-No 5,500?
-No 5,500.

I mean...

Look she obviously adores you

but enough of this
small town bullshit,

it's time to move on.

I understand.

All I'm saying is,
can you delay the trip?

Do you have the Wi--
I mean, is there like a--

I understand.

Sorry, my Wi-Fi sucks
or maybe your Wi-Fi sucks.

But the point is, Chris,
this is just really unfortunate.

It's just really unfortunate
that, you know--

Fuck!

Mother--

I think I may have found
a more affordable option.

-So maybe that's good news.
-Okay, affordable good.

As much as I'd love
to live in Wainscott,

you're giving me these options
that are a little

unrealistic.

There's a one bedroom,
it's a little further away,

it's in Quogue

Okay. Jared.

Please, Jared.

Jared, I'm not even
entertaining the thought.

I'm not moving to Quogue
so you can

Don't even.

I'm just saying,
Quogue could be very posh too.

Jared, I'm not moving to Quogue.

Thank you guys so much
for joining us today.

Just give us a sec.

As you know we're here
at the photo shoot

for the marketing campaign

and the poster key art
for the film.

We're just going to take
everybody's portrait today.

Those of you who came, amazing.

We have to get
your release forms.

Mohna

joining the team as our official
publicist for the project.

We've got a wonderful
photographer,

Jess in the house.

Let's hear it.
Let's give it up for Jess!

Alright let's do this guys.
Let's have fun!

Jess, can you take
one of me and Mohna?

Perfect. Oh yeah.

Mohna

Just be careful
of my tether cord.

Excuse me?

Oh, shit.

Nice.

-Mohna? Yeah.
-I think--

We're gonna have to--

Alright, that's good.

No, don't unplug it. No, Mohna.

Why don't you, uhm...

- Okay, see? That I like.
- Yeah.

But Lisa, can we kind of zhuzh?
Let's part it.

I like this Jess,
I like this direction.

Do we have more wind?

No your eyes are closed babe.

I would--
Big, big, big bright.

But not too dark.

But you know what I mean.

Wide open, but dark.

I'm loving this, Catherine.
Give it to me, Catherine.

♪ Give it to me, baby ♪

♪ Uh-huh, uh-huh ♪

♪ Give it to me, baby ♪

Not so scared.

You are looking
as if you could be a suspect.

Everybody is a suspect.

No, no, no. No hood.

I want that beautiful gray,
uhm--

I want that beautiful
silver hair blowing in the wind.

And Jade, she needs
the back tied up here.

So, here's what--

- Look at me.
- Yeah. Thank you.

- I wonder how that--
- It's got to be--

You know, statuesque.

This is a little:

♪ Finally, it happened to me ♪

- A little closer.
- ♪ Right in front of my face ♪

Who you talking to, baby?
That dance paper?

♪ And I just cannot hide it ♪

♪ Beating the strife ♪

No kissing the mask, baby girl.

Prune.

Open your eyes, baby girl.
Prune.

Say the word "Prune", like
Mary-Kate Olsen.

♪ Prune ♪

It gives you a really
pronounced jawline.

♪ Prune ♪

You look great, okay?

Put this day down in history.
He gave me a compliment.

- Okay, alright.
- Good for you.

I think that's a wrap on Scott.

Hmm!

Oh, actually,
that's a good one Scott.

I love it.

Wait, go back to the other one?

Oh, I'm sorry

Okay, absolutely not. Ruby.

Can you hold this?

I'm sorry.

I'm not doing it.
You are not invited to this.

You did not receive
a call sheet, did you?

We are doing a photo shoot.

This is a private, closed set.
I hate to break it to you,
my dear,

-Where are your permits?
-you're not in this film.

You need to stop. What?

I want to see a license
for filming. You've got at least
ten people here.

- Who are you to request permits?
- They're in costumes,

We are doing everything
by the book.

You have no business being here.

We are doing this completely
union, we are completely union.

A license for lights. Fan?
I'm pretty hot in here,
you have no ventilation.

I want all manner of permissions

that you need to have people
on this site.

This woman is mentally deranged.

I'm sorry you have
to witness this.

- Let me tell you something
- You got nothing.

You need to be escorted out.
I'm going to call

Ellen?

What are you even wearing?

What are you trying to do?
I just don't understand.

I think she's having
a mental break.

Okay. Scott, I can hear you.

Scott, do me a favor,
I don't need--

Okay? Enough out of you.

- Can someone get Ellen?
- I'll invite myself, Sam!

Mohna, can you do something?

You're on my payroll Mohna,
can you get Ellen?

You need to get the fuck out
of my face. I am done.

I know exactly
what you're trying to do.

- You have no idea.
- You're trying to do

what you did to the musical.
You are trying to ruin my film
and I will not let you do it.

I will not let you do it!

If you do anything
to interfere with this film

I swear to god, I will kill you.
You are a piece of shit.

Is Gale Weathers in here
to calm him down?

Scott-- You keep looking.
You can look

Scott, enough, okay?

I just want you to go
to Gale Weathers

Keep talking about Gale Weathers
and it's going to be a problem.

-Okay?
-I'm on your side.

I'm trying to calm you down.

Scott, keep Gale's name
out of your mouth.

And let me tell you something

Keep Gale's name
out your fucking mouth!

And you Ruby,

you need to get out of here.

- Somebody--
- I don't need to get out.

I need to be

-a responsible citizen.
-Where is Jess?

Jess we need

Let's continue--
I can't touch her.

Can you literally physically
escort this woman out of here?

Scott, you can go too.
I'm done with you.

Somebody take my picture,
I would like a portrait.

Don't cry.

Mohna,
get her out of here.

Is Gale Weathers in here
to wipe his tears?

Scott!

You've reached
Sag Harbor National Bank.

How can we help you?

Representative.

I'm sorry. I didn't get that.

How can we help you today?

Representative.

To continue
in English, please press one.

Please tell us
the reason for your call.

Overdraft Reversal.

How the hell did you go
through 20,000 dollars?

What do you mean, Lisa?

What do you think?
Things are for free?

Things cost money, Lisa.

I had to rent LTV
for the photo shoot,

I had to pay the photographer.

Overdraft reversal.

Mohna's on a fucking retainer
costing me an arm and a leg.

Representative.

I had to pay off
my American express balance.

I was still in debt
from the musical.

So now I'm just trying
to get ahead.

Representative!

Do you know how to use this?
I keep getting an error message.

- How can we help you?
- Representative!

Shane. Shane.

With the tips
does it go in the

Hi, how are you?

Sam?

Yeah.

- Berfin! Oh my god, hi!
- How are you?

-How are you?
-It's so good to see you.

Likewise. Oh my god.

So good to see you.
How is everything?

I'm good.

- Oh, with the musical?
- Yeah.

You know

Sadly the musical
never happened.

- Ahh.
- I know.

Well, everything
happens for a reason.

- Sure, sure.
- Yeah. But, uhm...

You know,
we're still working on the film,

the behind the scenes,

-the documentary.
-Of course.

So we're hopeful
that the film will sell

and I'd love for you
to be a part of it.

- Amazing.
- Did we ever get

a release from you?

I understand you're intimidated
by my greatness,

so you're upset
that you can't keep up.

I understand this,

but you have to channel
your inner self

I'm gonna bash
your fucking face in.

See? That's not right.

There are union rules
about that.

I don't give a fuck
about the union Scott!

I'm not cleaning this up

This is playing
a little too long.

Oof.

Oh my god.

I need a fucking nose job.

Oof.

What is this?

Oh, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no. No, no. Uhm...

Does anyone have--
Is Natalia...

I've got to get in touch
with Natalia.

Did she sign an NDA?

Lulu?

Damn, the connection.
Yeah, hello.

Hi, can you hear me, Lulu?

Yeah, I just wanted to, uhm...

You know, hear more
about your project.

Yeah, so, Jessica
from James Lane Post

suggested that I reach out,

she said that you were
a phenomenal video editor

and sent me a link.

I saw all your Tik Toks,
I thought they were fantastic.

And in a nutshell I've been
working on a feature film

for quite some time
and my editor

is actually on maternity leave,

she just had a little baby girl,
so she's unavailable

and there's actually
a specific portion of the film

that I need removed.

Is that something
you might be able to help with?

I feel like, yeah--
We can talk about, you know,

more specifically the scope
and the budget

and I'm happy to, uhm...
To be a part of this project.

You know, I used to take on
every single passion project.

"Okay, yes."
Now I'm like:

"Oh shit, how do I pay rent?"

So yeah, if this pays, uhm...

- Okay, Leah.
- Then I'll do it.

I love Jessica,
she's wonderful.

Yeah, Jessica's great.
No, we love James Lane.

As far as the budget,
to be transparent,

it is an indie film so it is
sort of shoe string so to speak.

I don't know that
you'll be able to cover rent

with this project.

You know

We're having a little
dinner party after the premiere

which you'll be invited to,
of course,

and then

We can talk about
maybe points on the back end.

I want to keep it simple
and obviously cost effective.

I'm cool with just choice
of branzino or the chicken

but I wanted to say
green circle,

free range, heritage chicken
and then the tiramisu.

And then for the alcohol,
I think

It's a week day.

It's not like people will be
ripping shots of Don Julio.

So, pour a white and a red.

Wine, beer and soda would work.

Wine, beer and soda, right.

And we can run a tab
or do cash bar

if anyone does want
hard alcohol.

We'll run a cash bar.

I'm not paying for it.
They'll pay for it themselves.

- Right.
- So...

You can do a Pouilly-Fume

and then a Pinot Noir.

The student loan forgiveness?

I think it was like
a 10,000 dollars

if you meet certain criteria.

Now I know for a fact
that I meet that criteria.

So I was just curious about
what is the--

What is the process?
Do I have to apply for it?

Do I have to--

Right.

So in order to successfully
host this event

I need Mohna
to finalize the press release,

we need the invite or at least
the save the date at this point.

We have the date, right?

We're going to do
the 17th, we said?

Unless we don't do the 17th?

Unless we get into the festival.
Which is-- That would be

- Oh my god.
- dream case scenario.

- That's a good problem to have.
- There's a lot of--

Variables, unknowns.

Like, when are we going
to find out if we're
in the film festival?

I have to meet
with the programmers.

I'm going to have a scheduled
meeting with them.

-When?
-I'm working on it with Carole.

That's why I want to have--

What?

Oh, fuck!

- What?
- Queen Elizabeth died.

Ohh. Oh, no!

Oh, no.

Fucking bitch!

The queen?

Just the timing of it.

Oh my god.

What are we gonna do?

I have the
press release coming out.

This is going to dominate
the headlines for weeks.

She was 96.

Oh, no. I thought she would
hang on for another
couple weeks at least.

You seem very upset.

I know. I've got to call Mohna.
I can't--

We've got to delay everything.

I'm not gonna compete
with this for press.

Are you kidding me right now?

You have nine of the Nitza

and 12 of the Corsica

so I'll order more
of the Corsica.

Why do you have all of these
Martinelli's, by the way?

The sparkling cider.

Shane?

What?

- I mean, this is slander.
- It's not good.

- It's not good.
- Not good.

How could they print this?

"Sag Harbor native
Ruby Jackson had this to say:

'Sam is in an embarrassment.

An embarrassment to theater,

an embarrassment to Sag Harbor

and an embarrassment
to mankind at large.'"

- I mean
- Not good.

Fucking Lulu!

I should have known.

I never should have trusted her,
that fucking infant editor.

I've got to call Mohna.
We've got to do--

We've got to do damage control.

Your call

I need every issue of this.
I need--

at the tone,
please, record your message.

Do me a favor,

ask Savannah if she can send
somebody out on the streets.

Mohna, it's Sam. Listen.

What is this fucking
movie even about?

Have you seen James Lane Post ?
They've done an awful

character assassination
piece on me.

Did you send them a list
of the questions, Mohna?

Uh, no. Not yet.

What do you mean?

I had said to send them a list
of the questions or at least

Well, we were still going
to go over them together.

No we went over them.
I sent them to you.

Well, okay, I...

Alright, well I've got to--

Can you run down
to the studio and speak with--

Okay, yeah. Yeah.

Make sure that they know
everything that is the least...

Yes.

I don't even care so much
about what they ask me

it's about what they
can't ask me.

Okay.

That was what we were
going to discuss, but

I will check on that.

Give me a second.
I want to go there with you.

- You do? Okay. I will.
- Yeah. Wait.

Let her blend.

-Can you--
-Thank you.

So she knows
not to ask me this one?

Yes. Yeah, I told her.

Oh, this is nice.

We're actually not here.
We're down the hallway.

I like this.

I have to follow you, babe.

- I don't know where I'm going.
- Exactly.

- Studio four.
- There you are.

Hello.

Hello. Are you Sam?

I am.

Okay guys in the control room,

can you queue up
the intro please?

- Alright.
- That would be great.

That would be great. Thank you.

four, three, two...

This is the intro for the show?

- Yes.
- And this is broadcast?

Yes, on every show.

So it will be the intro
for your show.

And we're about to begin.

-Three, two, one.
-I should look at you?

Hello, and welcome
to The Ladies Room.

My guest today is producer
and filmmaker Sam Pezzullo,

and you're working on a...
Uh, uhm, uh

Scream.

The musical the movie,
the movie the musical.

-Yes.
-And you're using local talent.

Yes.

That you met at the Improv,
a thing at Bay Street.

No? You didn't meet them
at Bay Street?

We... Well, hello.

Hello. Nice to have you here!

Thank you for having me, and...

Is that the control?
Are we live?

Live on tape, yes.

So this is not airing
at the moment?

It's not airing at the moment,

but it will be airing
in a day or two.

What is-- Mohna.

There's been so much
miscommunication.

- It's gonna be fine.
- Okay.

What are we dealing with today?

What is the issue that we're--

The issue is that some
of your viewers may have read

-an article recently.
-Okay.

And they did an awful character
assassination piece on me.

Why would they do that?

That's a great question, Judy.

And it's something
that me and my legal team

are in the process
of investigating.

What I'd like to do today

is I would like to
go on the record.

I'm gonna look at them.

I would like to go
on the record to refute

the claims made against me
in this publication.

And as a citizen
of this community.

This wonderful community
that I am proud to be part of,

I am proud to be a part of
the Hamptons community Judy

and I will not allow
some publication

to smear my name
and my reputation.

Wow, you are really passionate.

I am impassioned.

Wow.

So they've already
selected all the films.

They have. And now I'm sure
he's talking to everybody
individually.

Kevin Coffey.

I don't know what
the schedule was in there.

But there's still all these
TBAs, so that means

They printed this weeks ago

so there are still opportunities
to select films.

That's true and there's a TBA

so maybe your film
could actually be in.

We've got to make this
as graceful as possible, Carole.

introduce you to

a filmmaker friend of mine.

Who's Anna?

I think she's
the programming coordinator.

No.
I don't want the coordinator.

Oh no, I think that Megan's
the director now

and Anna is the programming--

Maybe manager.
No, she's probably coordinator.

David's the one
that calls the shots.

Everything's got to go
through David, absolutely.

And that's Megan.

Right, exactly.

And in the very
beginning too

there's a headshot of him.

-Yeah.
-Where?

Hold on.
Right here on the very--

-I know what he looks like.
-Right here.

-He wears glasses.
-Right here.

-Yeah.
-Okay?

He looks like
that today, actually.

Anna looks great.

- Yeah, she does.
- Is that him?

-Yes, it is.
-Oh, shit!

- Go, go, you know him.
- Yeah, yeah.

David

Carole had mentioned
she was gonna

arrange an opportunity
for us to meet and sit down.

- I thought maybe we could
- Is that right?

have a quick lunch.
A quick lunch. My treat.

Tutto.
Do you know Tutto in Sag Harbor?

-Impossible.
-Yes, I know Tutto. When?

-We're sorry--
-You want to go now?

I'm hungry.

Yeah, yeah. You come. Megan

You know how to get there?

You're going to come to
Tutto? We're going to do lunch.

My treat, okay?

Kettle One martini
with a twist please.

Make that two.

- Got it.
- Make that three.

Three.

Alright,
I'll join the bandwagon.

I'll do a Kettle One martini,
but with olives please.

Extra cold.
Three olives, please.

And the ice from the shaker
on the side.

- Definitely.
- That's like an extra drink.

- It's a tip a bartender told me.
- Wow.

Do we want that
across the board?

Shaker ice on the side
for everyone?

I'm okay, thanks.

- Just making sure.
- And then I guess--

Did you guys have a chance
to look at the menu?

Let's definitely do
the Pane Carasau,

we'll do a burrata,
we'll do a Parmigiana,

maybe a Tutto ensalata.

Perfect.

Can I have a frittata, please?

- Of course.
- Thank you.

I'll have the soup, please.

Are you good
with all that or--

Yeah, I'm good with that.

So the TBA's that are in here

are going to be announced?

Or they have been selected,
or they haven't been selected?

They are, as the name implies,
to be announced.

But we just don't know
what they're gonna be yet.

But the idea
of adding a new film.

I don't know, it's hard to say
having not seen the film,

We can get you the screener,

- I mean we're
- Well.

We don't have a lot of time
to see the film at this point.
But, uhm, perhaps a toast

- to next year's festival
- Yes.

in the hopes that maybe we'll
see your film next year.
Which will be upon us

before you even know it.

I assure you, it's the way
it feels every year.

I know it flies by, huh?

That is good.

You could start submitting

When do you start
accepting submissions?

- Mmmmm.
- Oh my god.

Thank you.

What a treat.

- That looks delicious.
- Oh, sorry.

That's the Osietra?

- Was this the Osietra?
- Yes, sir.

Did you have the creme fraiche?

The creme fraiche
with the caviar is delicious.

And it's half off at happy hour.

Is it really?

Yeah. That's why I come here.

Uhm. Anyway, listen.

The meeting with the programmers
went really well.

I think David in particular
seemed really enticed by it.

And they're not off put
by the run time.

I mean, it's a film,

it's not a long Tik Tok,
is what I keep saying.

Oh, there's Judy.

Judy McDowell
from The Ladies Room.

- Just walked in?
- Yeah. Oh.

Oh.

- Oh, god.
- With her?

- Oh, god.
- What?

- Ruby.
- Oh, god.

- That's weird.
- Oh, great.

What a weird, odd...

I was gonna say, the three--

bunch of people
hanging out.

Those three together...

Just ignore them.

- Eat some caviar.
- Drink some champagne.

What, do you think they
know you're here?

I don't know.

- Disengage. Ignore it.
- Okay.

- Jessica.
- Just-- No.

- I read the article.
- Don't!

I read the article.

- Not nice. Not Nice.
- That's--

And she was quoted

so I know that the three of you
are in cahoots.

I know exactly
what you're up to lady.

I'm sorry.
I know what you're up to.

- Yeah. It's a take down.
- It's not going to help.

Just stop yelling at
them at a restaurant.

We're gonna get
some more caviar.

Everything's fine.
Just take the whole thing.

We're done.

You think
that was nice, Jessica?

Oh my god, Sam!

Didn't we just say you--

- And Ruby?
- Stop.

I'm an embarrassment
to mankind at large?

- You think that was nice?
- I'm gonna go

if you're gonna act like this.

No, no.

Settle down.

Plotting a fucking
ABC news expose.

I'm done with it.

- This is embarrassing.
- Did we order something?

We ordered more caviar Mohna,
it's coming.

- We're fine.
- Exactly what you're doing,

I know exactly
what you're up to,

and I won't let you
get away with it, Ruby.

I will not let you
get away with it.

But really the big priority
Kristen, please,
is the apartment search.

I can't keep living like this.

I need you to call
everybody in the area.

I need you to call
all the top agents,

Alessander, Catherine,
Casey, Nikko,

Patrick, Paulina.

Just tell them, flexible budget,

East of Southampton only.

- Have some water.
- I'm gonna...

What else? I wanna--

Uhm, what about venues
for the screening?

- Anything come to mind?
- Uhm.

Sag Harbor Cinema?

They're booked.

Bay Street? I mean...

Listen, uh.

It occurred to me,

we have an existing
relationship,

not that they owe me one,

but I could easily
reconnect with Michael

and see if they'd even
be open to it.

I think,
under these circumstances,

we would just be renting the
venue, but how do we pay for it?

That's why we need
the sponsorship dollars.

I think it's great that
they came down in the price

but I don't want to be there.

I don't want to be any
further West than Southampton.

I know you might disagree
but I feel like it's just

kind of has that stigma
that low rent.

Do me a favor,
send me a couple more options

we'll look at them this weekend.

Yeah. Alright? Take care. Bye.

So it's the chin,
this neck part that bothers you?

It's the neck, uhm...

-In particular, it's the neck.
-Okay.

My nose is a whole other
ball of wax.

I want to do eventually
a little lift.

Because I feel like
from wearing a mask

during COVID,
it permanently dented

I think it's dented,
I really do.

We can absolutely
get rid of some of this fat.

I inject it with a little
solution that dissolves the fat

or we can do
a little liposuction.

As you said,
slimming down those cheeks

What about the nose?

We have to do your nose,

so we have to do a rhinoplasty
and I go from the inside.

There's no scars.

But there are nice easy
natural things that we can do.

I hate when things look fake

and in you we can really
just tweak your nose,

get rid of that hump you have,

make it straighter
and a little bit more refined.

-That will look really nice.
-Okay.

When you say the hump,
because I didn't--

We've got to do this.
We've got to start there.

The consult fee is applied
towards the procedure?

- Absolutely.
- Okay.

Do I want more of an arch?

We pull up
the eyebrows sometimes

Oh!

"Sag Harbor residents
are mourning the tragic loss

of one of the communities
most beloved residents.

Ruby Jackson, 71,

was killed on Friday
when she was struck

by an unidentified SUV
traveling southbound
on route 114.

She was struck
by a vehicle from behind

Eyewitnesses claim
a black midsize SUV

was seen shortly after,
speeding erratically
down the road.

Police are scouring the area

for vehicles that match
the description."

Oh my god.

What a tragedy.
Oh my god.

Tragic.

Is this the first time
you're here?

- At this event, yeah.
- Okay.

Do you want to just
walk through and, uhm...

Yeah, you lead the way.
Maybe get a drink.

-Yeah. Alright.
-I might need one.

Alright.

We can just follow
right through.

Oh, that's, uhm--

There's a couple people
here I know that I probably

-don't want to run into.
-Oh, okay.

So, my Mom is like--

She's a local out here,
she knows Sam.

She took me to...

I thought it was gonna be lunch.

It ended up being a rehearsal

Uhh, for his musical.

This is Mohna, my publicist.

-This is Wendy. Wendy Federman.
-Nice meeting you.

She's a world renowned
Broadway producer,

- multiple Tony Award winner.
- Fantastic.

We were in touch early on

in the development
of the musical.

And then we've barely
seen Sam in a while,

and now we're at this event and

I guess he's networking
his ass off in there

and I think
he probably needs it.

I guess he's making a movie now?

Some ferkakte movie.

-Caroline.
-Yes.

Caroline. We go way back.

♪ Sweet Caroline ♪

♪ Ba, ba, bum ♪

I'm not sure who Sam really is.

I think he came here to
The Women in Film brunch

to try to find someone
to work with him,

with the film to get it
shown at festivals,

to get it shown onto
Netflix or something.

I don't even know
what the film's about.

You know she asks kind
of a provocative question

which is, you know

"Is this a film that
women would want to see?"

Uh-huh.

Yeah, and they see

Women like sci-fi.

Yeah.

...in taste.

Yes.

Unfortunately the musical
never did make it to the stage,

but you know,
we're forging ahead

-and we're trying to really
-Yes!

People are coming back
to theaters.

Yeah, absolutely.

One of the reasons we came here

was to meet the wonderful women
in our community.

-Who are
-Yes.

Yes!

-the trailblazers
-Big changes.

Wonderful women that also
moved out here from the city.

-Monolithic in their...
-Yes.

In their thinking. And, uhm...

Because that's what our film
is really going to be about,

is about, you know

Non-monolithic

-Monolithic women.
-women.

Red carpet and step and repeat
on that wall versus this wall.

So I figure there,
where the box office is

we could have somebody stationed
for check in with a clipboard,

we'll check their names,
plus one, no plus one.

Do you have stanchions?

-Sure. Yeah.
-You do?

'Cause that's the one thing
I hadn't thought about.

If we get hundreds of people,
I'm worried about crowd control.

If the step and repeat were here

we could do 11X

I would hate to cover up
all your donors,

but how important are they?

Anonymous? Nobody even

I'd be fine with doing it there,

but Tracy usually likes
the red carpet things

to be over here.

I feel like I have
my marching orders from you.

- Fantastic.
- I will connect with Tracy

and we will make
a decision on which side.

I'll get the DPC for the QC,

and the stanchions,
you'll let me know.

- I'll keep you posted.
- Alright.

It was good to see you.

Great to see you too.

And, I will, uhm...

- I will keep in touch.
- Wonderful.

And, uhm...
Alright. I like your haircut.

Hey.
Yeah, sorry I'm late.

I just got done
with the meeting with Sam,

I can't fucking stand
this asshole anymore.

Like all he's doing is taking
these goddamn measurements

for the red carpet

And like, everyone's supposed to
be on this fucking list and he--

Hi, Lisa! How are you?

I'm great Sam,
so good to see you.

-You too. You look great!
-Thank you.

I'm here with Jade,
we're doing the pants.

Love 'em.
I love the short coat.

I love the vintage
struggling filmmaker vibe.

My only concern is that
it's the same color

as the step and repeat
and I don't want to blend in.

Okay, so how about a shearling
coat, something to fit--

Oh, I love--
and go with the vibe.

Yeah, I love a shearling coat.

So you can pull that
and you'll send it to me?

Yeah, no problem.
I'll send it out to you.

But you're going to be back
in town for the premiere?

-You'll be back?
-Yes, of course.

I'm coming home
from Palm Beach. I can't wait--

- Ah, you're in Palm Beach?
- Yup.

Ohh, say "hi" to everybody.
Who's there?

I would normally be there
this time of year

I know, we miss you.

You know what, Lisa?

Yeah?

I'm getting another call,
let me get this.

I will call you back.

We'll send pictures
from the fitting.

Sounds good. Okay, bye.

Okay, bye.

Ah.

Huh.

I mean, that did not feel
routine whatsoever. Okay?

They were asking me all of these
really invasive questions.

I mean, like:
"How did you know her?

What kind of tires do you have?
Where were you?"

I'm just like: "Excuse me"

It's nobody's business
where I was.

I was not on route 114,
that's all they need to know.

And I'm just like:

I told them the truth, Lisa,

I'm just not revealing
specifically where I was.

Like...

No, it is my right, okay?

If I was dealing
with a personal,

confidential matter,
I'm not inclined to tell them.

The whole thing feels like
really, you know, coincidental.

With the premiere coming up,

it's yet another attempt
to sabotage me, this woman.

I mean, she's dead,
but it's like, I swear she like:

Jesus!

- I wasn't prepared for that.
- I wasn't either.

You--

I was going to suggest
waiting for Savannah, but...

We plan and God laughs.

- Oh my.
- All good.

Good job. Cheers!

- Whoo!
- Whoo!

- Do we want mimosas
- To the premiere.

Yeah!

Can we get some hands?

I need to put sunscreen on.

Is that key
for the poster thing?

- No.
- No? Okay.

Well...

Ugh!

- I knew this would happen.
- What?

I just should not have done
this fucking keratin thing!

-Your hair looks amazing.
-No, it doesn't.

It looks like hot fudge.

I hate my outfit.

Can you see if Lisa
can get me that coat?

Just text her, she knows
what I'm talking about,

Text her and say: "Do you have
the shearling coat?"

Okay.

My god.

It's like not dry or wet,
I don't know what's going on!

My beautiful curls.

- Shearling coat?
- Shearling coat!

Oh, my fucking god.

- This is it.

- Today is the day!
- I know.

I'm sorry about that moment, I--

-Go ahead.
-No, what were you saying?

I was going to say
it would be my honor

if you would introduce me after
the screening for the Q&A.

- Ohh, I would love to!
- Will you?

- Of course.
- Okay.

That's a very big moment,

a very big kind of honor
to be the person

I could have asked Alan to do it
as the executive producer,

but I was like no,
I want Kristen to do this.

You have been with me
since the very beginning
and that means the world to me.

Like all joking
and bullshit aside,

I love you, I appreciate you
and it would mean the world
to me if you do it.

It would be my honor.

-I wrote a little something.
-Oh, yeah.

So you can literally
just read this verbatim.

-Okay, verbatim.
-And it's boilerplate.

It's the kind of stuff
that every screening has.

So it's: "Thank you to our
sponsors." Yadda yadda.

Don Julio, very important.
The smoothest anejo.

There's a land acknowledgment.

All of that mumbo jumbo.

-Do I have time to practice?
-You can practice,

But I think it's going
to flow naturally.

And feel free to improvise,
do whatever you want,

but this is your moment,

-My moment?
-I love you. I love you!

Ow! Take the moment, okay?
I'm numb.

I'm numb from the Don Julio
Anejo 1942, which is so smooth.

Can you take a shot with me
and then say after you take it:

"Oh my, that was so smooth?"

I'll take the little one, yeah.

- Take the little one.
- Thank you.

-Cheers, babe.
-Cheers.

To Scream: The Musical
the Documentary.

Whatever it is.

What do you mean
"Whatever it is"?
You know what it is.

- What?
- Who are you wearing?

Oh, my family's here! Sorry.

Guys, come on down.
Come on the red carpet.

Kristen.

Hi, Livy. This is my niece!

I know,
this is my movie premiere.

Ah, she's crying.

I want to hold Adelina

-for photo.
-No!

Come on, my dearest niece.

Let me hold her real quick.

This is my youngest niece.

Oh, Alan. Here come take her.

Alan? Alan?

This is Alan.

He's the executive
producer of the film.

-Alan, thank you for being here.
-Alright.

You'll see the film tonight,

but it really does
defy expectations.

It is truly about
one man's journey

to discover himself.

It's about perseverance
and it's about triumph.

These are our auction winners,
Richard and Deb.

They bid on this experience.

Berfin!

Everybody this is not real fur.
No, we don't believe in, uh...

In a... You know

- You look fabulous.
- Ooh!

- I love you.
- Love you too.

-Alright, see you inside.
-See you inside.

It's really about
one man's journey

to, you know,
pursue his passions and--

Oh my god! Hi!

- I thought we were gonna kiss.
- Were we?

God, the sun.

We love Sharon.

Yes, this my Women
on the Money bag.

And, uh, it pays homage
to great women.

We love-- This is such
a female empowerment story.

-Yes, it is.
-Right here.

This is the face
of female empowerment.

Made in Italy.

Alright, this is not QVC.

- Yes.
- Right.

Sharon.

You know, I will just say that--

You know,
it's a terrible tragedy.

And we as a society need to be
more cognizant of joggers.

Uhm, and we need to
widen the bike lanes.

We need to do better.

And my heart goes out
to her and her entire family.

And let's honor the legacy
of Ruby everybody.

For Ruby.

My name is Sam,

I am a producer and I have a
background in musical theater.

Ooh, I'm sorry.

I could attempt
to produce an existing musical.

Like Annie or Damn Yankees,
something I've been in
that I know.

Or I could do
something totally bold and

unexpected and audacious.
The wig was so atrocious

She did not look anything like
Casey Becker. She looked like

She looked like Debbie

from Addam's Family Values.

Joan Cusack in Addam's Family.

Catherine's wonderful,

very, very cheerful.

Like to the point
where I'm almost like--

It's like a cry for help.

Scott, who plays Dewey,

has been problematic, I admit.

And I probably

make matters worse

because we just clashed.

Like our personalities are

just very, very different.

I know that he
is very well respected.

Hi, how are you?

Mohna, correct?

-Is that you?
-Yes. Correct.

-Mr. Baker?
-Yep.

How are you doing?
I'm Detective Stone.

- Nice to meet you.
- How you doing?

A couple questions I'd like
to ask, if you don't mind.

Are you aware of the incident
that took place in Sag Harbor?

A motor vehicle accident?

-You read about it?
-Yeah.

Okay. And you know
the outcome of the incident?

- I heard she didn't make it.
- Right.

You know who else was involved?

Do you know

Do you know Sam?

Hmm. Yes.

My opinion of him?

It's not a very high one.

This is not Mohegan Sun,
this is Bay Street Theater.

- You know, I--
It's fine.

You have one job and you
refuse to do it.

And it's not
that he can't do it.

Because I know
he's refusing to do it.

He's deliberately
pushing my buttons.

Deliberately antagonizing me
and get a rise out of me.

And it's working
and it's frustrating.

-Hi. Your name is
-Hi.

- Catherine Bromberg.
- Catherine, okay.

-Hi.
-How are you doing?

-I'm Detective Stone.
-Hi.

-I've a few questions for you.
-Hi.

And what do you think of him?

Uhm...

Hard question to answer.

Do you think he may have been
involved in this accident?

I don't know.

Do you know if he
was involved with Ruby?

- You mean romantically?
- Uh-huh.

There was definitely tension.

I don't know the source,
but there was tension.

I heard there was some
tension between them.

-Yeah.
-Do you know what caused that?

Ruby wanted to shut him down

and this is Sam's
passion project.

-Ohh.
-He loves Scream.

Do you think
he's capable of murder?

- Absolutely.
- You do?

-Why do you think that?
-I see it in his eyes.

And then you
have the old guards.

You have crotchety,
older people.

Who just have a chip
on their shoulder.

And who are angry that

Bay Street is allowing me

to produce a musical version

of Scream as oppose to

a more traditional musical
or play.

I don't know why they're so--

To the point where they have to
go around town

disparaging my name

and my reputation

but also Bay Street's.

What are they hoping to gain

by picketing outside

and telling people
to not buy tickets.

Do you think he's capable
of hurting anyone?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

Do you think
he could kill someone?

Well...

- I mean...
- It's pretty serious.

I-- I didn't, but then--

I've seen him go
into some passionate rages.

Crazy. No, crazy.
Obviously, like

...a young
person coming into town

and changing it. And so

they're threatened by it.

That's the only logical

explanation I can think of.

Do you think Sam
may have been involved

in this vehicular accident

in any way, shape or form?

I would like to play
something for you, if I may.

-Right.
-So

Mohna, it's Sam.

Listen. Have you seen
James Lane Post?

They've done an awful character
assassination piece on me.

This fucking bitch,
Ruby, is quoted.

I'm gonna kill this woman
if I ever see her again.

I need you to call me back
as soon as you get this.

We've got to do damage control.

They're standing!

Are they standing
or they leaving?

I think they're
standing. They're clapping.

Ha, ha, ha!
Fuck yes!

Oh my god, we got to do the
intro. We gotta go down.

- Shit.
- Wait, do you have the paper?

I have the paper.

- Wait!
- What? Okay.

I'm going to be waiting
backstage on the ramp.

The ramp, okay.

I want to make an entrance so
you're going to be like:

"Okay, so--"

How was it everyone?

Amazing.

First and foremost, thank you
so much for being here.

This is a labor of love for Sam.

He's worked
so incredibly hard on this.

And I know he is so honored

to have all of you here
to see it.

I am going
to get this show on the road.

So, before I invite
Sam out for the Q&A

I would just like to say
that I'm so grateful

to have been given
the opportunity

to shadow this visionary talent

and bear witness to his
dedication and perseverance.

I have learned so much from Sam.

Most importantly,
how to foster a collaborative

and respectful creative
environment with a diverse team

on both sides of the camera,
where everyone has a voice

and is given
a platform to shine.

Right? Yeah.

Thank our sponsors.
