[Narrator] Hello.
You are about to embark on a
journey through time and space,
experiencing unimaginable landscapes
and meeting wonderful beings.
The worlds beyond are waiting for you.
But first, what is astral projection?
Astral projection, also known
as an out-of-body experience,
is a deep and sincere state
in which the individual's consciousness
separates from the physical body,
allowing it to explore
realms beyond the limitations
of the material world.
It is a doorway to the
infinite possibilities
of the astral plane.
The astral plane,
a dimension existing
alongside our physical reality,
is a realm of energy,
thoughts, and emotions.
It is a place where our deepest
desires, our deepest fears,
and our deepest ambitions take form.
Through astral projection,
we can access this seemingly unreal domain
and engage in extraordinary experiences.
(electricity crackling)
(footsteps thumping)
(floorboards creaking)
Oh my God, Mom.
[Mom] Such a big day for my baby girl.
(electricity crackling)
(birds chirping)
(birds continue chirping)
Moving into your own place.
All by yourself!
You just don't need me anymore.
Oh my God, Mom, stop, seriously.
(electricity crackling)
(birds chirping)
(birds continue chirping)
[Mom] I can't hype up my own child.
It's not really much to hype up.
Just going to college.
[Mom] I'm proud of you, hun.
Thanks, Mom.
(electricity crackling)
Hey.
[Parker] Don't act
so thrilled, little bro.
Any luck?
We're getting there.
(electricity crackling)
- Ready?
- Forget the sign.
(footsteps thumping)
You got another shoot later, right?
Yeah.
(board thumping)
What class is this
- for again?
- Intro to Doc, P343.
Why are you in Intro to Doc?
Because I love it with all my heart.
- Really?
- No!
It's required now, apparently.
That sucks.
Who's your professor?
John Conrad.
- Shut the fuck up.
- Yeah, I, I wish he would.
God, I remember taking
a summer class with him.
I have never encountered
such a dick in my entire life.
You know, I love that
we all asked for some like
more established people in the industry,
and their response was to get
the most miserable
piece of shit human being
I have ever encountered.
He still is, you know, a
miserable piece of shit,
if you are still wondering.
I mean, oh, he has nothing
more than like an AD credit
on one of the "Critters" movies.
I mean, does he even have
experience in documentary?
I don't know.
The man will not let anyone veer off
from whatever the curriculum is.
Even his aura has made
like half the class drop.
Can't wait to see how
he reacts to your project.
It was always his way or no way.
Something's gotta change though, Parker.
I mean, I'm not gonna waste my time
and make some dumb ass documentary
that'll look like everyone else's.
I mean, he's going to get
me, the, the creative that I am.
Or you could just suck
it up and pass the class.
All right, are we doing this or what?
I still gotta pack some stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Camera rolling?
Man, we've been rolling.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
My name is Tommy Matthews,
and this will be my, wait.
Hold on.
My name is Tommy Matthews,
and this will be my first
documented attempt
at astral projecting.
In my time preparing for
this, I have grown stronger
in mentally barricading
my mind in my attempts.
For this project, I plan
on focusing more on
how to channel my emotions,
both positive and negative,
instead of being swept away
into the peaceful meditative state.
I will now begin.
(table banging)
(electricity buzzing)
- Why are you doing this?
- What?
[Parker] I mean, why this astral thing?
Why not something else?
I get bored.
Here.
If there's a chance I can close my eyes
and go somewhere where
everything hasn't gone to shit,
I think I'll take it.
[Parker] And you're
trying to go there now?
That's the goal.
[Parker] What's wrong with this place?
Hey, do me a favor.
Just stay quiet and let me do my thing.
[Parker] Okay, well,
how long do I have to
record you doing nothing?
Can, can, can you
stop with the questions?
This isn't nothing, I'm
trying to do something.
So if you just stop talking
I'll be able to concentrate.
[Parker] Okay.
(electricity buzzing)
(electricity continues buzzing)
(electricity continues buzzing)
(electricity continues buzzing)
(fingers snapping)
Are you being for real?
I'm sorry, I, I had to,
there was no other way.
You know, just, just go.
It's not going to work right now.
I'm sorry.
Come on, Tommy, it was just a joke.
It's not funny!
If you're not gonna take
it seriously then don't help.
Just, just go, go to your shoot.
Jesus Christ.
Okay.
You know, I always cherish
our little moments together.
Yep.
(footsteps echoing)
(electricity buzzing)
- Is your lab on?
- Do you have the shot yet?
[Cameron] Yeah, yeah, this is good.
We could probably take this.
I'm in the third, right?
[Cameron] Yeah, definitely.
Hey guys
- I don't know.
- Guys!
You know, this is for my portfolio
and I'm trying to use
like every asset of myself
because my future's in your hands, dude.
[Cameron] Yeah, well all
our future is also in your hands,
so if you could speed it up
a bit, that would be great.
Guys!
Do you want to give a
little input over here?
Dude, this is terrible.
Just give it to me.
Get up close and personal.
Get intimate.
- Close up shot.
- Did any of you
even read the syllabus.
Back up, seriously.
- I don't think you need
to get that deep, guys.
It's just a daily assignment.
Some of us have GPAs
that we need to maintain.
[Blake] Why, what, why don't
we let the creatives do this?
Okay.
And you go get some coffee or something.
- Guys!
- You're forgetting the reason
that we woke up this early
to do this in the first place.
[Blake] We have plenty of time, dude.
- Relax.
- We don't.
- Oh my, no way, how?
- What you guys doing?
- Hi.
- Hey.
[Blake] Might want to
get this on camera, babe.
I got ya.
Hey man.
We just thought we'd get
a jump start on the project.
You know, you did so
much work in pre-production.
We thought we'd save you the hassle.
Whatever, dude, don't, don't touch me.
Seriously, guys, what's going on?
I mean, we weren't
supposed to film for like
another two hours.
No one?
Just me, okay, cool.
Do you want me to be
straight up with you, dog?
None of us felt like watching you get
your pretentious little film dick wet
bossing us around with your stupid ideas.
[Sarah] Yeah, we got all
the dick we need already.
Yeah, that's, that's a great joke.
Okay, you guys need me here.
Okay, I'm trying to make sure
I make it through this class.
Okay, but with the footage
you all got I'm probably fucked.
- This guy.
- Okay, you know what?
I'm here now and gimme
the camera and I'm gonna,
I'm gonna check the footage actually
Actually, you know what you can do?
You can thank each and every one of us.
I could go to Professor Conrad right now
and tell him that you've done jack shit.
[Sarah] You know what I love?
I love how you think your innovative ideas
impress Professor Conrad.
There's probably not
a single innovative idea
behind those eyes.
I'm not trying to impress him,
I'm trying to challenge him.
Okay, yo.
You say something like that to her again,
I will knock your fucking teeth out, okay.
Hey, did you get some buttons on there,
let me get those for you.
It's not like Conrad gives a shit anyway.
[Sarah] So right, babe.
And good morning.
So here we go.
(Conrad drinking)
After witnessing the footage
that you guys brought back today,
it looks like none of you have
retained anything I've said
this whole time.
Good job, ladies and gentlemen.
You get to hear me one more time.
Ready?
A standard interview set up.
Now, this is something
all of you will be doing
in your individual projects.
You will set up your
shot in three point lighting
with respect to your filming location.
Do not be afraid to use
natural light if you have it.
Next, your subject will be placed
in the center of the frame,
or maybe to the left third
or right thirds of the frame.
Now, make sure your subject
is never looking into camera.
You're having a
conversation with the subject.
The subject is not having a
conversation with the camera.
Finally, you notice a background
that has depth and detail.
I'm gonna repeat that.
I want depth, I want detail.
If I see one piece of footage
where the subject is placed
in front of a flat background,
I'll assume you're nowhere
near fit for the industry,
and I will fail you.
I'll repeat that, I will fail you.
Is that clear?
And don't dilly dilly with your subject.
You want them engaged?
Rip something out of
them, whatever it may be.
You with me?
Cool.
Let's get to work.
Hi, I'm Mandy Barrett
and my documentary project
aims to show the daily effort,
strength, and hardships
of the many on-campus non-faculty employees
who are consistently carrying
the weight of the student body
on their backs.
I have already been in
contact with managers
at our dining services, janitors,
and people at admissions.
Good, sounds thought out and fresh.
Absolutely.
My plan is to highlight
the specific subjects
of some of the people involved,
in order to stress the
importance of making sure that
they receive fair benefits.
Well, sounds to me like
you're on the right path.
Thank you.
Oh, and I almost forgot.
Are we still on to meet
for our office hours?
I still had a few extensive questions
and things I wanted
to talk through with you.
I will not be able to meet
during my scheduled time today.
Oh, well, maybe I can stay after class
and we can find the time.
Next.
My name is Cameron Cunningham.
Okay, what is the subject
of your upcoming project,
Mr. Cunningham?
Climate change.
I'm gonna talk about how
we're killing the planet.
Very original.
Must feel good to add to the pile.
Well, I'm minoring in
environmental sciences,
so I thought, may as well.
Mm hmm.
And what do you hope to reveal?
That we're killing the planet.
Is that good enough for you?
I'm here, babe.
What is this?
Oh, we decided
that we're gonna work
together on the project actually.
We found that we have great chemistry,
both in a professional
and the personal world,
so we thought it would
work out perfectly, you know.
We thought that it would
give us a really good chance
to clash creatively.
And I believe the topic
that we chose for this film
will give us a really good
chance to discover ourselves.
And that topic is?
Love, Professor Conrad.
The overwhelming
scorching sensation of love.
You've been married twice, haven't you?
You should know all about it.
Do you think that we could
bring some extra SD cards
and batteries with us?
We're gonna be doing
a lot of things on the go.
Like run and gun sort of
Guerilla film making, babe.
Yeah, yeah.
Guerilla film making.
We're gonna probably get
a lot of footage that way.
A lot of footage.
Just say your names.
Sarah Scott.
Blake Miller.

[Parker] Hi Mama.
Name.
My name is Tommy Matthews.
[Conrad] And what is
your documentary film
gonna be about, Tommy?
Well, I've kind of been
all over the place with it.
Just really trying to
figure out the best way
to make a complete vision.
I said, what is your
documentary gonna be about?
My film is about astral projection.
The idea of having an
out-of-body experience
and traveling between different dimensions.
Sounds a bit ridiculous, don't you think?
I don't think so.
You don't think so, mm hmm.
Well, any expert subjects?
No.
Call to action?
Not quite.
Have you even thought about it?
Have you found anything through a search
that points to proof of this?
Well, technically
there isn't any real proof,
just people describing
what they have experienced
when they disconnect.
Historically, astral projection
is said to be achieved
through complete relaxation
and lack of overall stress.
But to make my pursuit a bit more unique,
I'm thinking it could be
achieved more effectively
through deep emotional reflection,
no matter your mental state.
And I've been finding these
old videos in the domain.
Do you have any usable footage?
You're behind, Mr. Matthews.
How do you plan to improve
the validity of this process?
By doing it myself.
(Blake laughs)
[Conrad] Something to say, Blake?
I'm sorry, no, I'm, I'm, I'm sorry.
That was just so fucking corny.
[Tommy] Shut up, Blake.
You're the corniest dude in here.
Did you even hear yourself
talk about your project?
At least I'm trying to do
something practical, bro.
Every project we're on together,
you're always doing something
that makes no fucking sense.
It's called breaking away from the mold,
you fucking moron.
Oh my God.
Trying to make something, you know, unique,
not just following whatever
the requirements are.
Well, maybe following the requirements
would help you realize how
ridiculous your ideas sound.
Have you ever tried
making a legitimate film.
One that's not just, you know, phoning in
and giving him more
attention than he needs?
Hey, newsflash, it's fucking difficult.
[Conrad] All right, that's enough.
I find it very hard to believe
that you'll be the first one
to document legitimate proof
that the human mind can
open doors to other dimensions.
First time for everything, Professor.
Why this topic, what's the motivation?
Don't submit now.
If you wanna be a filmmaker
you need to face yourself.
You need to defend your intentions,
because people like me
are not gonna be on board
from the start.
And if I can be blunt, Mr. Matthews.
Mr. Matthews.
I do not believe in this project.
This should be good.
Okay.
My mother died.
Not that long ago actually.
She had some things going on
and she decided not to talk about them.
It took hold of her towards the end.
And one day, my, my sister,
she found her in the bathroom.
It was bad, you know, just a grizzly sight.
She didn't leave anything for us.
You know, I wake up each and every day
and I walk around with no
answers, no understanding of why.
I, I just, I just wish I knew,
you know, something or,
or anything about what
was going through her head.
And maybe with this
process, there's a way to, I,
I don't, I don't know, but there you go.
You guys happy?
Inter-dimensional travel
to look for his lost mommy.
Yeah, makes perfect sense.
I can give you my
therapist's number if you'd like.
[Conrad] Pure collaboration is gonna be
a big part of this process
going forward, pal.
You're gonna have to
deal with the criticism,
no matter what it is or who it's from.
So, hang tight.
Does anyone have anything else to say?
I'd just like to say that
you seem really tense in class a lot.
It kind of freaks me out sometimes.
I can't be the only one.
- It's pretty weird, dude.
I just don't think you're
in the right head space
to try something like this right now.
You also have to assume that
people who have supposedly done this
are probably just doing
some insane psychedelics.
A lot of people don't come back from that.
And maybe you should focus
more on this world, you know,
and create something around that.
I mean, I don't know if people
will care about situations
that happen in dimensions in your head.
I mean, it's not my place,
but who's to say you aren't just dreaming
when you're doing this, and like,
what exactly are you going to document?
It's not like you can
bring the camera with you.
He could do like, like he
could recreate what he saw,
like, like reenactments,
like how they do in those
ghost hunting shows.
But those cost a lot of money and time
and probably doesn't have that.
[Conrad] Okay.
You know what the assignment is.
Expert subjects framed correctly
with a clear call to action.
Do not let your false hope
get in the way of your reality.
If I were you, I am not, but if I were,
I'd do something much more practical.
Adjust or deal with the consequences.
- Do we understand?
- Yeah.
(floorboards creaking)
Freak.
(driving rock music)
When I close my eyes
I can't stop what
appears inside my head
I cannot go to bed
because I cannot go to bed
Obsessive, I am so obsessive
Make you be obsessive
'Cause here comes my obsession
Obsessive
I stretch my head and walk up
Just like getting over my desk
The truth is anxiety
I'm being my skin, I'm
hardly ever in so let me rest
Compulsive, I am so compulsive
My actions are so repulsive
'Cause I am so compulsive
Compulsive
(driving rock music continues)
(footsteps echoing)
(phone ringing)
(phone continues ringing)
- What?
- Hey, what are you up to?
[Parker] I'm at that shoot,
remember I had to step out.
Shit, you're right.
I can call back later if that's better.
[Parker] No, it's, it's fine.
Just make it quick, what's going on?
First I wanted to say that I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to get
shitty with you earlier.
[Parker] No, it's, it's all right.
I was being annoying, so I'm sorry too.
Well, you wanted to know
what professor dick rod thought, right?
He is not on board,
and I basically need to
change what I'm doing.
Got backed up by the rest of the class too.
[Parker] I'm sorry.
That's my, can't say I'm surprised though,
I don't think he's ever
thought about anything
that's challenged his way of thinking.
I'm not gonna switch up though.
[Parker] Really?
- Why not?
- 'Cause fuck him, that's why.
[Parker] All right.
I'm proud of you.
Would you want to try it?
- Try what?
- Try to astral project.
You know, explore the
beyond, make new friends,
see the sights.
[Parker] Um, eh, look.
Tony, I'm gonna have to
get busy editing this footage.
They want it done quick for their socials
and it's already getting late.
Please.
It's the last thing I'll ask of you.
All you gotta do is lay there
and I'll add in some bullshit
about your heart rate
picking up if nothing happens,
and you and I can write about
some compelling experience you had.
Please just try.
[Parker] Fine.
(insects chirping)
(door creaking)
(floorboards creaking)
Blake.
Blake!
(insects chirping)
What?
Oh, I'm so over your shit.
I've literally never seen
you wear these in my life.
Are you packed?
Yeah.
- Are you not?
- No.
Blake, we're literally
leaving in like two hours.
[Blake] Hey, what do you
think old Conrad's gonna say
when he watches all of our footage
and it's literally just us in the bedroom?
I hope he doesn't say anything
because he's not going to see it.
[Blake] Do you really
think I am that stupid?
Besides, let's be real for a second.
He's an old man, he probably
spends a lot of time online.
He's all alone.
We're probably going
to end up on his screen
sooner or later.
Gross.
Relax baby, we're gonna be stars.
I guess.
(footsteps echoing)
You ready to travel the astral plane?
Ah, yeah, guess so.
But I brought you something.
It's just been sitting around for a while
and I thought you should have it.
(Tommy sighs)
She looks happy.
Yeah, she does.
(footsteps echoing)
Today I have my dear sister Parker here
in my attempt at guiding someone
through their first astral projection.
My methods of guiding
her through this process
are a bit unconventional,
when compared to how these projections
have been achieved by others.
Instead of prioritizing pure comfort
mentally and physically,
I aim to channel her deep-rooted emotions
from all parts of her life.
Her wishes, her pleasures, her fears,
maybe even emotions attached to memories
we both hold as siblings.
Our goal is to open a new
door, or many to new realities.
As this is her first projection,
she will be wearing earbuds
that will play binaural beats.
Sounds created to hopefully
aid the process of projecting
You know what, if
you wanted me to plug in
my own playlist, I'm sure
it'd get the same effect.
I feel like I'm floating, right?
Okay, sorry.
Let's start.
(ethereal music)
(ethereal music continues)
Now Parker, as you start to disconnect,
let the ambience fall into the background.
It's there, but you cannot hear it.
Let my voice be the dominance
you decide to grab onto.
Start to hone in on things you
have a deep connection with.
The things you love, the things you hate.
What do you wish for?
What do you regret?
I kind of regret doing this.
[Tommy] Parker, that
was a rhetorical question.
Okay, well, I'm still
stationed in the real world here,
and I've got shit to do.
[Tommy] The more you talk and break free
from this sustained state,
I promise you it will
take longer and longer.
Just stay quiet and let
everything happen in your mind.
Let everything originate
from elsewhere, not here.
There's a clock inside your mind.
Can you hear it?
Listen to the ticks as they surround you.
Each tick pushes you deeper
and deeper and deeper
into your own mind.
(clock ticking)
There are things in this
world that affect you, Parker.
No matter how much
you think you don't care,
everything leaves a mark.
Everything opens a door to somewhere.
Think about Mom.
(ethereal music continues)
(ethereal music continues)
(ethereal music continues)
(Parker gasping)
(Parker breathing heavily)
Where did you go?
Parker, please.
What did you see?
(Parker gasping for breath)
Okay, calm down, calm down.
You have to tell me,
Don't fucking touch me,
I should've never done this.
[Tommy] Parker.
Parker, Parker, just tell me what happened
and we can talk through it.
You went somewhere, you
actually saw something, I know it.
You're a goddamn natural.
You saw Mom, didn't you?
Mom is dead, Tommy.
She's not here.
She's not anywhere.
Whatever you think you're
gonna find, you won't.
You will never see her again.
Don't ask me for anything else.
- I need this.
- No, you don't!
[Tommy] You fucking!
(Blake and Sarah gasping)
[Sarah] Where's the camera?
[Blake] What?
[Sarah] Oh, it fell down, Blake.
[Blake] Yeah.
[Sarah] Get it back
up, I'm getting close.
[Blake] I'm already up.
(Tommy breathing heavily)
Fuck!
You think I'm crazy.
I'm not crazy, I'm trying
to do something different.
Is that so fucking crazy?
Bunch of sheep!
You don't think I can do it, eh?
Not me, no.
I'm gonna be remembered.
(Tommy laughs)
I'm gonna be remembered!
You don't fucking believe me.
You think I'm tense?
That I should say, fuck you!
Fuck all of you!
(Tommy breathing heavily)
(Tommy continues breathing heavily)
(electricity buzzing)
(electricity crackling)
(Tommy breathing heavily)
I have encountered a moment in my life
that I think could be the proper motivation
to fueling my next projection.
I aim to see what happens
when I instead embrace
my current state.
That being a state of rage,
sadness, and confusion.
A state that I haven't been in since.
(Tommy sobs)
I'm not the one that'll help them see.
There is something, someone
in the darkness watching me.
When I close my eyes
it's like they're trying to
dig their way out of me.
It feels like me.
Maybe they'll hate this
place as much as I do.
(electricity crackling)
(electricity buzzing)
(tense music)
[Narrator] How does one
achieve astral projection?
It begins with cultivating
a state of internal isolation,
quieting the mind, and
entering a meditative state.
By letting go of physical sensations,
individuals create an ideal environment
for the spirit to separate.
Once this state is achieved,
the astral traveler focuses attention on
a specific destination
within the astral realm.
It can be a place of personal significance
or an unexplored frontier.
Through the power of
visualization, the journey commences.
Along this astral odyssey, one
may encounter other entities
existing in the astral realm.
Some entities can range
from other travelers
to spiritual guides,
or even manifestations
of our own subconscious.
Such encounters provide opportunities
for emotional connections
and spiritual growth.
But be careful who you
choose to interact with,
because they may try to latch on to you.

Oh God.
Did I leave my keys back there?
What in Christ's name?
Hmm.
(twigs snapping)
Mr. Matthews, is that you?
You do realize that leaving
your unattended equipment
is eligible for a strike in
your account, don't you?
I don't think you can afford
another strike in your account,
from what I've seen.
I can't imagine you're
here filming your own movie.
Let's check it out,
let's review it, shall we?
It'd be very hard for you to pass my class
without access to, to
really good equipment.
Really good equipment, you little shit.
You've been a pain in my ass all semester.
I'm not here to inspire
your little art house film making dreams.
If you want your credit,
you get your shit together.
Or you get the hell outta my class,
do you understand what I'm saying?
Jesus.
(tense music)
(electricity crackling)
(electricity continues crackling)
Don't touch me.
Don't touch me.
Don't, please do not,
do not, do not, do not.
Ah!
(rhythmic music)
[Director] Three, two, one.
Hello, my name is John Conrad
and welcome to my very own expert workshop.
I've been working in the
industry since the dawn of time,
with deep experience in
directing, assistant directing,
production management, writing.
The list goes on.
I've had the chance to
work on a number of projects
that some of you may have even seen.
For reasons that we'll go over today,
most of my career's work
is somewhere floating
in the great beyond, but it's out there.
I know it's out there.
Now, for you young filmmakers,
you've got a full tank of gas
and you're not sure where
this road will take you.
You're overthinking, you're stressed,
you're scared about
what the future may hold.
Do not worry.
You've got everything you need right here.
In this expert workshop,
I will light the way to
navigate the darkness
of the film industry.
We'll break down the scenes,
make sure our on-set
language is nice and fluent,
and interact with experienced
professionals in this field.
So if you think you have what it takes,
stick around and we'll.
(rhythmic music)
All right, let's turn that back.
Cornelius, I'm not gonna tell you again.
Run it back.
(tense music)
[Mandy] Hi, Professor Conrad.
Hey, it's Mandy Barrett from P343.
I'm so sorry to be calling like this.
I got your number from the syllabus.
I know you said you didn't
have any available office hours,
but I was really hoping
to find a time that works.
Are you there?
Professor Conrad.
You know what, I remember
seeing a sign up sheet
outside your office.
I'll come and block off
a ton of times to meet.
And if you're already
there then that works too.
Okay, see you soon.
(Parker breathing heavily)
(phone ringing)
Tommy.
Listen, something's wrong.
Whatever you put me
through, I think it was a mistake.
I don't know what's going on, but I just,
please, I really need to see you.
I'm sorry, just don't keep trying.
I know it sounds crazy,
but I don't think it's safe.
(Parker sighs)
I think she followed me back.
(switch clicks)
(Parker gasps)
Tommy, can you hear me?
Tommy.
Just stay where you are, okay.
I'm gonna come... Hi honey.
Mom?
(voice giggling)
(voice continues giggling)
(Parker breathing deeply)
(knocking at door)
(footsteps echoing)
(electricity humming)
Professor Conrad.
Are you in here?
It's Mandy.
I got your notes.
Professor Conrad.
(electricity humming)
Oh my God.
Shit.
No, Mandy.
Oh my God.
Pick up, pick up, pick up.
Hi.
Yeah, it's, shut the fuck up
and listen here right now, okay.
You know that one professor
I was telling you about?
Yeah, the one, the one I've
been getting weird vibes from.
I think he's trying to fuck me right now.
No, I'm not kidding.
Listen, listen, I, I
showed up for office hours
after I called him,
and he had this note
saying to go to the studio.
So I'm in the studio and this motherfucker
has a camera set up.
I know!
No, I'm not gonna fuck him, who do you,
who do you think that I am?
Yes, true.
But I refuse to go through
school like my mom did, okay.
We, we've talked about
this and I'm not gonna.
(figure breathing heavily)
(slap thumping)
Say bye bye to your little
passion project, Conrad.
You thought you could fuck me?
Now I'm gonna fuck your career.
Shit!
(footsteps thumping)
(figure growling)
No no no, shit.
Fuck.
Get the fuck away from me.
(tense music)
(electricity crackling)
(tense music continues)
Who the fuck are you?
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
Leave me the fuck alone.

Hello.
My name is Mandy Barrett
and I am here today to
reveal the horrifying truth
of the school that we attend.
Whether you're willing
to accept this truth or not,
us students are attending a university
that chooses to prioritize
unfulfilling programs,
pointless art exhibitions
and unneeded architecture
with irrelevant back stories.
(uplifting music continues)
All this public school profit
sucked away by all these endeavors.
Sure, maybe some of our
tuition could be forgiven.
Well, your tuition.
Students of my caliber are doing just fine.
We all know that it could be forgiven,
but what about valuing
the countless non-faculty employees who?
(electricity crackling)
Who.
(tense music)
Uh, shit.
Let's just do that again, okay.
Excuse me.
- Yeah, you.
- Yeah?
Can you get the fuck outta
my shot and shut the fuck up?
Hey, aren't you Mandy Barrett?
- Yeah.
- Oh yeah.
You're that pretentious
bitch in my Friday class
- with mommy issues.
- Fuck you!

Yo.
Hey, what's up?
No, I'm not busy,
I just, I'm in like a
creepy ass stairwell, so,
I might not be able to hear you that great.
What's up?
Seriously?
Oh wow, I knew she was
going for that, but I didn't.
Well, I didn't think she'd get it.
That's crazy.
(footsteps echoing)
Like been editing, I don't know.
I might do more later.
Kind of depends on how much
more effort he'll throw at us.
Oh wait, speaking of.
Are you free for the next 30 minutes,
'cause I really gotta pad
out some time on this project.
Seriously?
Sweet, okay.
It's gotta be a video call
though so like grab your laptop.
(no audio)
Well, we should probably get started.
You don't mind if I record this, right?
Yeah, yeah, of course.
Is a video chat gonna be
enough for your project?
I don't really care, I'm
doing this all in like one day.
So.
Thank you, Emily, for
setting some time aside
to speak on this very important topic.
We have been friends since
as long as I can remember,
and you are actually the founder of.
The Keepers of a Clean Future.
It's a good title.
You guys have done many things on campus
to help our community be more sustainable
and fight against climate change.
So as we go down the rabbit
hole, let's start with this.
As a student, in your line of study,
what are some things that
concern you about the, the most,
in terms of our planet's health?
Okay, well first of all,
thank you for that introduction.
Our club has worked so hard
trying to make ourselves known on campus,
and we have so many more things planned
for the rest of the semester.
But in terms of what I'm most
concerned about. (Door banging)
I would probably say... Yeah, I'm sorry.
I'm gonna stop you real quick and pause.
I keep hearing something over here,
I'm just gonna check it out real quick.
Oh yeah, it's fine, not a problem.
(sound hissing)
(button clicking)
(figure breathing)
(sound hissing)
Sorry about that, I
don't know what's going on.
Continue.
Yeah, so what I'm most concerned about
on our campus is how
much our transportation
seems to have shifted to calling Ubers
or using our vehicles.
Our decision to walk or bike to class,
I know it really doesn't
seem like a big one,
but it does add up.
And truly over time,
it can help decrease the amount
of released carbon dioxide.
Yes.
Very interesting, very important stuff.
So, flashing forward about 30 years.
(flesh squelching)
(blood gurgling)
(Emily screams)
(water gushing)
You seeing this.
All this.
All this bountiful nature.
It's nice, isn't it?
Don't get used to it, okay,
'cause it's going away.
That's right, 30 years all concrete.
Yeah.
We're killing this planet.
We've even got jobs dedicated to it.
Construction workers.
How about earth killers?
Choking the air, choking the ground.
Oh, humanity.
And let me tell you this.
No one is up there to help us.
Not God, 'cause he
doesn't exist, and not aliens.
And we do have time.
We can fix it.
But first we got, we need to do one,
we need to do one thing first.
(electricity crackling)
And it's really, it's
actually really simple
when you think about it, because.
(water gushing)
Yeah, I'm done.
(no audio)
(Parker weeping)
(knocking at door)
[Mom] Parker.
Can you open the door, honey?
I don't feel very well.
(knocking at door)
Open up, Parker!

(Mom giggles)
(electricity crackling)
All right, last stop before the trip
that changes our lives.
Okay, it'll be two seconds.
Just give me a moment,
I'll be back in a flash.
Wait.
All that stuff's in Conrad's
office that you access or?
Man, you're right.
Good thing I snagged his
key card before we left today.
I fucking love you.
[Sarah] Just gimme one moment.
What?
[Sarah] Be right back, babe.
Really?
You're just gonna leave me like this.
All right.
Goddammit.
(sirens blaring)
Woman, what are you doing?
Sarah!
Okay, is this open?
Word, word, word, all right, let's go.
Can't even keep it on
for the night owls, huh?
All right, cool, cool, cool.
That's a creepy hallway.
Let's, okay, moving on.
Sarah!
Sarah, baby.
Where you at?
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Statues, okay.
When did they put that in?
What the fuck?
Fine, fine, fine.
Whoa, what, that's a room.
Sarah, baby.
No.
Okay, no.
Let's move on, another hallway.
Sarah.
Babe, you know I don't go to class.
I don't know where the
fuck I'm at right now.
(footsteps thumping)
[Mom] Parker.
(electricity crackling)
[Parker] You're not real.
[Mom] We hear you calling.
(electricity crackling)
[Parker] You're not
real, you're not real.
(footsteps thumping)
You're not!
(electricity crackling)
[Blake] Come on,
pick up, pick up, pick up.
Come on, come on, come on.
Fine.
Sarah!
(phone ringing)
All right, no no no.
(phone continues ringing)
(flesh squelching)
What the, what?
Christ.
(flesh squelching)
Sarah.
[Sarah] Hi, it's Sarah.
It's looking like I'm a
little bit busy right now
but I'm gonna do my absolute best
- to get back to you.
- Oh fuck!
[Sarah] Bye!
(insects chirping)
[Blake] Okay, okay.
How the fuck do I get out of here?
(Blake gasping for breath)
What the fuck?
Ah!
(tense music)
(Blake gasping for breath)
Okay, okay.
All right you son of a bitch.
You fucking freak!
I swear to God, if you don't turn around
in the next five seconds,
I'm gonna go ape shit!
Five, four, three, two, one!

Are you still in there, little brother?
Why are you doing this?
(Parker breathing heavily)
(insects chirping)
You don't believe me.
I believe you.
It worked when you talked me through it.
I went somewhere,
somewhere, somewhere else.
I saw her.
I saw Mom and she followed me home.
I should have told you but I was so scared
because it's the only real
memory I have left of her.
(tense music continues)
(Parker breathing heavily)
(Parker continues breathing heavily)
I should have been there
for you when it happened.
I shut down and I left you
to deal with it on your own.
And for that, I am so sorry.
But this has to stop.
Don't be like her.
Don't lose yourself like Mom did.

[Narrator] We hope this immersive journey
into the great unknown has inspired you
to explore the depths of
your own consciousness,
embracing the wonders that
await beyond the physical realm.
Remember, the astral plane
is a boundless playground
for all different kinds of spirits.
We hope you paid attention
during today's lesson,
and we hope that you take
this crucial information with you
for your safety.
Now, embrace yourself, embrace the journey,
and unlock the secrets to the astral realm.
(electricity crackling)
[Mom] I am proud of you, hun.
Thanks, Mom.
[Mom] Listen, I got
you a little moving-in gift.
Come on, I told you
I don't need anything.
Just stop, stop, stop, stop.
Okay, okay, are, are you ready?
Okay, yeah, I'm ready.
Here it is.
Are you serious?
Your camera?
Try it.
(camera rattling)
What do you think?
- It's awesome, I love it.

[Narrator] Hello.
You are about to embark on a
journey through time and space,
experiencing unimaginable landscapes
and meeting wonderful beings.
The worlds beyond are waiting for you.
But first, what is astral projection?
Astral projection, also known
as an out-of-body experience,
is a deep and sincere state
in which the individual's consciousness
separates from the physical body,
allowing it to explore
realms beyond the limitations
of the material world.
It is a doorway to the
infinite possibilities
of the astral plane.
The astral plane,
a dimension existing
alongside our physical reality,
is a realm of energy,
thoughts, and emotions.
It is a place where our deepest
desires, our deepest fears,
and our deepest ambitions take form.
Through astral projection,
we can access this seemingly unreal domain
and engage in extraordinary experiences.
(electricity crackling)
(footsteps thumping)
(floorboards creaking)
Oh my God, Mom.
[Mom] Such a big day for my baby girl.
(electricity crackling)
(birds chirping)
(birds continue chirping)
Moving into your own place.
All by yourself!
You just don't need me anymore.
Oh my God, Mom, stop, seriously.
(electricity crackling)
(birds chirping)
(birds continue chirping)
[Mom] I can't hype up my own child.
It's not really much to hype up.
Just going to college.
[Mom] I'm proud of you, hun.
Thanks, Mom.
(electricity crackling)
Hey.
[Parker] Don't act
so thrilled, little bro.
Any luck?
We're getting there.
(electricity crackling)
- Ready?
- Forget the sign.
(footsteps thumping)
You got another shoot later, right?
Yeah.
(board thumping)
What class is this
- for again?
- Intro to Doc, P343.
Why are you in Intro to Doc?
Because I love it with all my heart.
- Really?
- No!
It's required now, apparently.
That sucks.
Who's your professor?
John Conrad.
- Shut the fuck up.
- Yeah, I, I wish he would.
God, I remember taking
a summer class with him.
I have never encountered
such a dick in my entire life.
You know, I love that
we all asked for some like
more established people in the industry,
and their response was to get
the most miserable
piece of shit human being
I have ever encountered.
He still is, you know, a
miserable piece of shit,
if you are still wondering.
I mean, oh, he has nothing
more than like an AD credit
on one of the "Critters" movies.
I mean, does he even have
experience in documentary?
I don't know.
The man will not let anyone veer off
from whatever the curriculum is.
Even his aura has made
like half the class drop.
Can't wait to see how
he reacts to your project.
It was always his way or no way.
Something's gotta change though, Parker.
I mean, I'm not gonna waste my time
and make some dumb ass documentary
that'll look like everyone else's.
I mean, he's going to get
me, the, the creative that I am.
Or you could just suck
it up and pass the class.
All right, are we doing this or what?
I still gotta pack some stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Camera rolling?
Man, we've been rolling.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
My name is Tommy Matthews,
and this will be my, wait.
Hold on.
My name is Tommy Matthews,
and this will be my first
documented attempt
at astral projecting.
In my time preparing for
this, I have grown stronger
in mentally barricading
my mind in my attempts.
For this project, I plan
on focusing more on
how to channel my emotions,
both positive and negative,
instead of being swept away
into the peaceful meditative state.
I will now begin.
(table banging)
(electricity buzzing)
- Why are you doing this?
- What?
[Parker] I mean, why this astral thing?
Why not something else?
I get bored.
Here.
If there's a chance I can close my eyes
and go somewhere where
everything hasn't gone to shit,
I think I'll take it.
[Parker] And you're
trying to go there now?
That's the goal.
[Parker] What's wrong with this place?
Hey, do me a favor.
Just stay quiet and let me do my thing.
[Parker] Okay, well,
how long do I have to
record you doing nothing?
Can, can, can you
stop with the questions?
This isn't nothing, I'm
trying to do something.
So if you just stop talking
I'll be able to concentrate.
[Parker] Okay.
(electricity buzzing)
(electricity continues buzzing)
(electricity continues buzzing)
(electricity continues buzzing)
(fingers snapping)
Are you being for real?
I'm sorry, I, I had to,
there was no other way.
You know, just, just go.
It's not going to work right now.
I'm sorry.
Come on, Tommy, it was just a joke.
It's not funny!
If you're not gonna take
it seriously then don't help.
Just, just go, go to your shoot.
Jesus Christ.
Okay.
You know, I always cherish
our little moments together.
Yep.
(footsteps echoing)
(electricity buzzing)
- Is your lab on?
- Do you have the shot yet?
[Cameron] Yeah, yeah, this is good.
We could probably take this.
I'm in the third, right?
[Cameron] Yeah, definitely.
Hey guys
- I don't know.
- Guys!
You know, this is for my portfolio
and I'm trying to use
like every asset of myself
because my future's in your hands, dude.
[Cameron] Yeah, well all
our future is also in your hands,
so if you could speed it up
a bit, that would be great.
Guys!
Do you want to give a
little input over here?
Dude, this is terrible.
Just give it to me.
Get up close and personal.
Get intimate.
- Close up shot.
- Did any of you
even read the syllabus.
Back up, seriously.
- I don't think you need
to get that deep, guys.
It's just a daily assignment.
Some of us have GPAs
that we need to maintain.
[Blake] Why, what, why don't
we let the creatives do this?
Okay.
And you go get some coffee or something.
- Guys!
- You're forgetting the reason
that we woke up this early
to do this in the first place.
[Blake] We have plenty of time, dude.
- Relax.
- We don't.
- Oh my, no way, how?
- What you guys doing?
- Hi.
- Hey.
[Blake] Might want to
get this on camera, babe.
I got ya.
Hey man.
We just thought we'd get
a jump start on the project.
You know, you did so
much work in pre-production.
We thought we'd save you the hassle.
Whatever, dude, don't, don't touch me.
Seriously, guys, what's going on?
I mean, we weren't
supposed to film for like
another two hours.
No one?
Just me, okay, cool.
Do you want me to be
straight up with you, dog?
None of us felt like watching you get
your pretentious little film dick wet
bossing us around with your stupid ideas.
[Sarah] Yeah, we got all
the dick we need already.
Yeah, that's, that's a great joke.
Okay, you guys need me here.
Okay, I'm trying to make sure
I make it through this class.
Okay, but with the footage
you all got I'm probably fucked.
- This guy.
- Okay, you know what?
I'm here now and gimme
the camera and I'm gonna,
I'm gonna check the footage actually
Actually, you know what you can do?
You can thank each and every one of us.
I could go to Professor Conrad right now
and tell him that you've done jack shit.
[Sarah] You know what I love?
I love how you think your innovative ideas
impress Professor Conrad.
There's probably not
a single innovative idea
behind those eyes.
I'm not trying to impress him,
I'm trying to challenge him.
Okay, yo.
You say something like that to her again,
I will knock your fucking teeth out, okay.
Hey, did you get some buttons on there,
let me get those for you.
It's not like Conrad gives a shit anyway.
[Sarah] So right, babe.
And good morning.
So here we go.
(Conrad drinking)
After witnessing the footage
that you guys brought back today,
it looks like none of you have
retained anything I've said
this whole time.
Good job, ladies and gentlemen.
You get to hear me one more time.
Ready?
A standard interview set up.
Now, this is something
all of you will be doing
in your individual projects.
You will set up your
shot in three point lighting
with respect to your filming location.
Do not be afraid to use
natural light if you have it.
Next, your subject will be placed
in the center of the frame,
or maybe to the left third
or right thirds of the frame.
Now, make sure your subject
is never looking into camera.
You're having a
conversation with the subject.
The subject is not having a
conversation with the camera.
Finally, you notice a background
that has depth and detail.
I'm gonna repeat that.
I want depth, I want detail.
If I see one piece of footage
where the subject is placed
in front of a flat background,
I'll assume you're nowhere
near fit for the industry,
and I will fail you.
I'll repeat that, I will fail you.
Is that clear?
And don't dilly dilly with your subject.
You want them engaged?
Rip something out of
them, whatever it may be.
You with me?
Cool.
Let's get to work.
Hi, I'm Mandy Barrett
and my documentary project
aims to show the daily effort,
strength, and hardships
of the many on-campus non-faculty employees
who are consistently carrying
the weight of the student body
on their backs.
I have already been in
contact with managers
at our dining services, janitors,
and people at admissions.
Good, sounds thought out and fresh.
Absolutely.
My plan is to highlight
the specific subjects
of some of the people involved,
in order to stress the
importance of making sure that
they receive fair benefits.
Well, sounds to me like
you're on the right path.
Thank you.
Oh, and I almost forgot.
Are we still on to meet
for our office hours?
I still had a few extensive questions
and things I wanted
to talk through with you.
I will not be able to meet
during my scheduled time today.
Oh, well, maybe I can stay after class
and we can find the time.
Next.
My name is Cameron Cunningham.
Okay, what is the subject
of your upcoming project,
Mr. Cunningham?
Climate change.
I'm gonna talk about how
we're killing the planet.
Very original.
Must feel good to add to the pile.
Well, I'm minoring in
environmental sciences,
so I thought, may as well.
Mm hmm.
And what do you hope to reveal?
That we're killing the planet.
Is that good enough for you?
I'm here, babe.
What is this?
Oh, we decided
that we're gonna work
together on the project actually.
We found that we have great chemistry,
both in a professional
and the personal world,
so we thought it would
work out perfectly, you know.
We thought that it would
give us a really good chance
to clash creatively.
And I believe the topic
that we chose for this film
will give us a really good
chance to discover ourselves.
And that topic is?
Love, Professor Conrad.
The overwhelming
scorching sensation of love.
You've been married twice, haven't you?
You should know all about it.
Do you think that we could
bring some extra SD cards
and batteries with us?
We're gonna be doing
a lot of things on the go.
Like run and gun sort of
Guerilla film making, babe.
Yeah, yeah.
Guerilla film making.
We're gonna probably get
a lot of footage that way.
A lot of footage.
Just say your names.
Sarah Scott.
Blake Miller.

[Parker] Hi Mama.
Name.
My name is Tommy Matthews.
[Conrad] And what is
your documentary film
gonna be about, Tommy?
Well, I've kind of been
all over the place with it.
Just really trying to
figure out the best way
to make a complete vision.
I said, what is your
documentary gonna be about?
My film is about astral projection.
The idea of having an
out-of-body experience
and traveling between different dimensions.
Sounds a bit ridiculous, don't you think?
I don't think so.
You don't think so, mm hmm.
Well, any expert subjects?
No.
Call to action?
Not quite.
Have you even thought about it?
Have you found anything through a search
that points to proof of this?
Well, technically
there isn't any real proof,
just people describing
what they have experienced
when they disconnect.
Historically, astral projection
is said to be achieved
through complete relaxation
and lack of overall stress.
But to make my pursuit a bit more unique,
I'm thinking it could be
achieved more effectively
through deep emotional reflection,
no matter your mental state.
And I've been finding these
old videos in the domain.
Do you have any usable footage?
You're behind, Mr. Matthews.
How do you plan to improve
the validity of this process?
By doing it myself.
(Blake laughs)
[Conrad] Something to say, Blake?
I'm sorry, no, I'm, I'm, I'm sorry.
That was just so fucking corny.
[Tommy] Shut up, Blake.
You're the corniest dude in here.
Did you even hear yourself
talk about your project?
At least I'm trying to do
something practical, bro.
Every project we're on together,
you're always doing something
that makes no fucking sense.
It's called breaking away from the mold,
you fucking moron.
Oh my God.
Trying to make something, you know, unique,
not just following whatever
the requirements are.
Well, maybe following the requirements
would help you realize how
ridiculous your ideas sound.
Have you ever tried
making a legitimate film.
One that's not just, you know, phoning in
and giving him more
attention than he needs?
Hey, newsflash, it's fucking difficult.
[Conrad] All right, that's enough.
I find it very hard to believe
that you'll be the first one
to document legitimate proof
that the human mind can
open doors to other dimensions.
First time for everything, Professor.
Why this topic, what's the motivation?
Don't submit now.
If you wanna be a filmmaker
you need to face yourself.
You need to defend your intentions,
because people like me
are not gonna be on board
from the start.
And if I can be blunt, Mr. Matthews.
Mr. Matthews.
I do not believe in this project.
This should be good.
Okay.
My mother died.
Not that long ago actually.
She had some things going on
and she decided not to talk about them.
It took hold of her towards the end.
And one day, my, my sister,
she found her in the bathroom.
It was bad, you know, just a grizzly sight.
She didn't leave anything for us.
You know, I wake up each and every day
and I walk around with no
answers, no understanding of why.
I, I just, I just wish I knew,
you know, something or,
or anything about what
was going through her head.
And maybe with this
process, there's a way to, I,
I don't, I don't know, but there you go.
You guys happy?
Inter-dimensional travel
to look for his lost mommy.
Yeah, makes perfect sense.
I can give you my
therapist's number if you'd like.
[Conrad] Pure collaboration is gonna be
a big part of this process
going forward, pal.
You're gonna have to
deal with the criticism,
no matter what it is or who it's from.
So, hang tight.
Does anyone have anything else to say?
I'd just like to say that
you seem really tense in class a lot.
It kind of freaks me out sometimes.
I can't be the only one.
- It's pretty weird, dude.
I just don't think you're
in the right head space
to try something like this right now.
You also have to assume that
people who have supposedly done this
are probably just doing
some insane psychedelics.
A lot of people don't come back from that.
And maybe you should focus
more on this world, you know,
and create something around that.
I mean, I don't know if people
will care about situations
that happen in dimensions in your head.
I mean, it's not my place,
but who's to say you aren't just dreaming
when you're doing this, and like,
what exactly are you going to document?
It's not like you can
bring the camera with you.
He could do like, like he
could recreate what he saw,
like, like reenactments,
like how they do in those
ghost hunting shows.
But those cost a lot of money and time
and probably doesn't have that.
[Conrad] Okay.
You know what the assignment is.
Expert subjects framed correctly
with a clear call to action.
Do not let your false hope
get in the way of your reality.
If I were you, I am not, but if I were,
I'd do something much more practical.
Adjust or deal with the consequences.
- Do we understand?
- Yeah.
(floorboards creaking)
Freak.
(driving rock music)
When I close my eyes
I can't stop what
appears inside my head
I cannot go to bed
because I cannot go to bed
Obsessive, I am so obsessive
Make you be obsessive
'Cause here comes my obsession
Obsessive
I stretch my head and walk up
Just like getting over my desk
The truth is anxiety
I'm being my skin, I'm
hardly ever in so let me rest
Compulsive, I am so compulsive
My actions are so repulsive
'Cause I am so compulsive
Compulsive
(driving rock music continues)
(footsteps echoing)
(phone ringing)
(phone continues ringing)
- What?
- Hey, what are you up to?
[Parker] I'm at that shoot,
remember I had to step out.
Shit, you're right.
I can call back later if that's better.
[Parker] No, it's, it's fine.
Just make it quick, what's going on?
First I wanted to say that I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to get
shitty with you earlier.
[Parker] No, it's, it's all right.
I was being annoying, so I'm sorry too.
Well, you wanted to know
what professor dick rod thought, right?
He is not on board,
and I basically need to
change what I'm doing.
Got backed up by the rest of the class too.
[Parker] I'm sorry.
That's my, can't say I'm surprised though,
I don't think he's ever
thought about anything
that's challenged his way of thinking.
I'm not gonna switch up though.
[Parker] Really?
- Why not?
- 'Cause fuck him, that's why.
[Parker] All right.
I'm proud of you.
Would you want to try it?
- Try what?
- Try to astral project.
You know, explore the
beyond, make new friends,
see the sights.
[Parker] Um, eh, look.
Tony, I'm gonna have to
get busy editing this footage.
They want it done quick for their socials
and it's already getting late.
Please.
It's the last thing I'll ask of you.
All you gotta do is lay there
and I'll add in some bullshit
about your heart rate
picking up if nothing happens,
and you and I can write about
some compelling experience you had.
Please just try.
[Parker] Fine.
(insects chirping)
(door creaking)
(floorboards creaking)
Blake.
Blake!
(insects chirping)
What?
Oh, I'm so over your shit.
I've literally never seen
you wear these in my life.
Are you packed?
Yeah.
- Are you not?
- No.
Blake, we're literally
leaving in like two hours.
[Blake] Hey, what do you
think old Conrad's gonna say
when he watches all of our footage
and it's literally just us in the bedroom?
I hope he doesn't say anything
because he's not going to see it.
[Blake] Do you really
think I am that stupid?
Besides, let's be real for a second.
He's an old man, he probably
spends a lot of time online.
He's all alone.
We're probably going
to end up on his screen
sooner or later.
Gross.
Relax baby, we're gonna be stars.
I guess.
(footsteps echoing)
You ready to travel the astral plane?
Ah, yeah, guess so.
But I brought you something.
It's just been sitting around for a while
and I thought you should have it.
(Tommy sighs)
She looks happy.
Yeah, she does.
(footsteps echoing)
Today I have my dear sister Parker here
in my attempt at guiding someone
through their first astral projection.
My methods of guiding
her through this process
are a bit unconventional,
when compared to how these projections
have been achieved by others.
Instead of prioritizing pure comfort
mentally and physically,
I aim to channel her deep-rooted emotions
from all parts of her life.
Her wishes, her pleasures, her fears,
maybe even emotions attached to memories
we both hold as siblings.
Our goal is to open a new
door, or many to new realities.
As this is her first projection,
she will be wearing earbuds
that will play binaural beats.
Sounds created to hopefully
aid the process of projecting
You know what, if
you wanted me to plug in
my own playlist, I'm sure
it'd get the same effect.
I feel like I'm floating, right?
Okay, sorry.
Let's start.
(ethereal music)
(ethereal music continues)
Now Parker, as you start to disconnect,
let the ambience fall into the background.
It's there, but you cannot hear it.
Let my voice be the dominance
you decide to grab onto.
Start to hone in on things you
have a deep connection with.
The things you love, the things you hate.
What do you wish for?
What do you regret?
I kind of regret doing this.
[Tommy] Parker, that
was a rhetorical question.
Okay, well, I'm still
stationed in the real world here,
and I've got shit to do.
[Tommy] The more you talk and break free
from this sustained state,
I promise you it will
take longer and longer.
Just stay quiet and let
everything happen in your mind.
Let everything originate
from elsewhere, not here.
There's a clock inside your mind.
Can you hear it?
Listen to the ticks as they surround you.
Each tick pushes you deeper
and deeper and deeper
into your own mind.
(clock ticking)
There are things in this
world that affect you, Parker.
No matter how much
you think you don't care,
everything leaves a mark.
Everything opens a door to somewhere.
Think about Mom.
(ethereal music continues)
(ethereal music continues)
(ethereal music continues)
(Parker gasping)
(Parker breathing heavily)
Where did you go?
Parker, please.
What did you see?
(Parker gasping for breath)
Okay, calm down, calm down.
You have to tell me,
Don't fucking touch me,
I should've never done this.
[Tommy] Parker.
Parker, Parker, just tell me what happened
and we can talk through it.
You went somewhere, you
actually saw something, I know it.
You're a goddamn natural.
You saw Mom, didn't you?
Mom is dead, Tommy.
She's not here.
She's not anywhere.
Whatever you think you're
gonna find, you won't.
You will never see her again.
Don't ask me for anything else.
- I need this.
- No, you don't!
[Tommy] You fucking!
(Blake and Sarah gasping)
[Sarah] Where's the camera?
[Blake] What?
[Sarah] Oh, it fell down, Blake.
[Blake] Yeah.
[Sarah] Get it back
up, I'm getting close.
[Blake] I'm already up.
(Tommy breathing heavily)
Fuck!
You think I'm crazy.
I'm not crazy, I'm trying
to do something different.
Is that so fucking crazy?
Bunch of sheep!
You don't think I can do it, eh?
Not me, no.
I'm gonna be remembered.
(Tommy laughs)
I'm gonna be remembered!
You don't fucking believe me.
You think I'm tense?
That I should say, fuck you!
Fuck all of you!
(Tommy breathing heavily)
(Tommy continues breathing heavily)
(electricity buzzing)
(electricity crackling)
(Tommy breathing heavily)
I have encountered a moment in my life
that I think could be the proper motivation
to fueling my next projection.
I aim to see what happens
when I instead embrace
my current state.
That being a state of rage,
sadness, and confusion.
A state that I haven't been in since.
(Tommy sobs)
I'm not the one that'll help them see.
There is something, someone
in the darkness watching me.
When I close my eyes
it's like they're trying to
dig their way out of me.
It feels like me.
Maybe they'll hate this
place as much as I do.
(electricity crackling)
(electricity buzzing)
(tense music)
[Narrator] How does one
achieve astral projection?
It begins with cultivating
a state of internal isolation,
quieting the mind, and
entering a meditative state.
By letting go of physical sensations,
individuals create an ideal environment
for the spirit to separate.
Once this state is achieved,
the astral traveler focuses attention on
a specific destination
within the astral realm.
It can be a place of personal significance
or an unexplored frontier.
Through the power of
visualization, the journey commences.
Along this astral odyssey, one
may encounter other entities
existing in the astral realm.
Some entities can range
from other travelers
to spiritual guides,
or even manifestations
of our own subconscious.
Such encounters provide opportunities
for emotional connections
and spiritual growth.
But be careful who you
choose to interact with,
because they may try to latch on to you.

Oh God.
Did I leave my keys back there?
What in Christ's name?
Hmm.
(twigs snapping)
Mr. Matthews, is that you?
You do realize that leaving
your unattended equipment
is eligible for a strike in
your account, don't you?
I don't think you can afford
another strike in your account,
from what I've seen.
I can't imagine you're
here filming your own movie.
Let's check it out,
let's review it, shall we?
It'd be very hard for you to pass my class
without access to, to
really good equipment.
Really good equipment, you little shit.
You've been a pain in my ass all semester.
I'm not here to inspire
your little art house film making dreams.
If you want your credit,
you get your shit together.
Or you get the hell outta my class,
do you understand what I'm saying?
Jesus.
(tense music)
(electricity crackling)
(electricity continues crackling)
Don't touch me.
Don't touch me.
Don't, please do not,
do not, do not, do not.
Ah!

[Director] Three, two, one.
Hello, my name is John Conrad
and welcome to my very own expert workshop.
I've been working in the
industry since the dawn of time,
with deep experience in
directing, assistant directing,
production management, writing.
The list goes on.
I've had the chance to
work on a number of projects
that some of you may have even seen.
For reasons that we'll go over today,
most of my career's work
is somewhere floating
in the great beyond, but it's out there.
I know it's out there.
Now, for you young filmmakers,
you've got a full tank of gas
and you're not sure where
this road will take you.
You're overthinking, you're stressed,
you're scared about
what the future may hold.
Do not worry.
You've got everything you need right here.
In this expert workshop,
I will light the way to
navigate the darkness
of the film industry.
We'll break down the scenes,
make sure our on-set
language is nice and fluent,
and interact with experienced
professionals in this field.
So if you think you have what it takes,
stick around and we'll.
(rhythmic music)
All right, let's turn that back.
Cornelius, I'm not gonna tell you again.
Run it back.
(tense music)
[Mandy] Hi, Professor Conrad.
Hey, it's Mandy Barrett from P343.
I'm so sorry to be calling like this.
I got your number from the syllabus.
I know you said you didn't
have any available office hours,
but I was really hoping
to find a time that works.
Are you there?
Professor Conrad.
You know what, I remember
seeing a sign up sheet
outside your office.
I'll come and block off
a ton of times to meet.
And if you're already
there then that works too.
Okay, see you soon.
(Parker breathing heavily)
(phone ringing)
Tommy.
Listen, something's wrong.
Whatever you put me
through, I think it was a mistake.
I don't know what's going on, but I just,
please, I really need to see you.
I'm sorry, just don't keep trying.
I know it sounds crazy,
but I don't think it's safe.
(Parker sighs)
I think she followed me back.
(switch clicks)
(Parker gasps)
Tommy, can you hear me?
Tommy.
Just stay where you are, okay.
I'm gonna come... Hi honey.
Mom?
(voice giggling)
(voice continues giggling)
(Parker breathing deeply)
(knocking at door)
(footsteps echoing)
(electricity humming)
Professor Conrad.
Are you in here?
It's Mandy.
I got your notes.
Professor Conrad.
(electricity humming)
Oh my God.
Shit.
No, Mandy.
Oh my God.
Pick up, pick up, pick up.
Hi.
Yeah, it's, shut the fuck up
and listen here right now, okay.
You know that one professor
I was telling you about?
Yeah, the one, the one I've
been getting weird vibes from.
I think he's trying to fuck me right now.
No, I'm not kidding.
Listen, listen, I, I
showed up for office hours
after I called him,
and he had this note
saying to go to the studio.
So I'm in the studio and this motherfucker
has a camera set up.
I know!
No, I'm not gonna fuck him, who do you,
who do you think that I am?
Yes, true.
But I refuse to go through
school like my mom did, okay.
We, we've talked about
this and I'm not gonna.
(figure breathing heavily)
(slap thumping)
Say bye bye to your little
passion project, Conrad.
You thought you could fuck me?
Now I'm gonna fuck your career.
Shit!
(footsteps thumping)
(figure growling)
No no no, shit.
Fuck.
Get the fuck away from me.
(tense music)
(electricity crackling)
(tense music continues)
Who the fuck are you?
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
Leave me the fuck alone.

Hello.
My name is Mandy Barrett
and I am here today to
reveal the horrifying truth
of the school that we attend.
Whether you're willing
to accept this truth or not,
us students are attending a university
that chooses to prioritize
unfulfilling programs,
pointless art exhibitions
and unneeded architecture
with irrelevant back stories.
(uplifting music continues)
All this public school profit
sucked away by all these endeavors.
Sure, maybe some of our
tuition could be forgiven.
Well, your tuition.
Students of my caliber are doing just fine.
We all know that it could be forgiven,
but what about valuing
the countless non-faculty employees who?
(electricity crackling)
Who.
(tense music)
Uh, shit.
Let's just do that again, okay.
Excuse me.
- Yeah, you.
- Yeah?
Can you get the fuck outta
my shot and shut the fuck up?
Hey, aren't you Mandy Barrett?
- Yeah.
- Oh yeah.
You're that pretentious
bitch in my Friday class
- with mommy issues.
- Fuck you!

Yo.
Hey, what's up?
No, I'm not busy,
I just, I'm in like a
creepy ass stairwell, so,
I might not be able to hear you that great.
What's up?
Seriously?
Oh wow, I knew she was
going for that, but I didn't.
Well, I didn't think she'd get it.
That's crazy.
(footsteps echoing)
Like been editing, I don't know.
I might do more later.
Kind of depends on how much
more effort he'll throw at us.
Oh wait, speaking of.
Are you free for the next 30 minutes,
'cause I really gotta pad
out some time on this project.
Seriously?
Sweet, okay.
It's gotta be a video call
though so like grab your laptop.
(no audio)
Well, we should probably get started.
You don't mind if I record this, right?
Yeah, yeah, of course.
Is a video chat gonna be
enough for your project?
I don't really care, I'm
doing this all in like one day.
So.
Thank you, Emily, for
setting some time aside
to speak on this very important topic.
We have been friends since
as long as I can remember,
and you are actually the founder of.
The Keepers of a Clean Future.
It's a good title.
You guys have done many things on campus
to help our community be more sustainable
and fight against climate change.
So as we go down the rabbit
hole, let's start with this.
As a student, in your line of study,
what are some things that
concern you about the, the most,
in terms of our planet's health?
Okay, well first of all,
thank you for that introduction.
Our club has worked so hard
trying to make ourselves known on campus,
and we have so many more things planned
for the rest of the semester.
But in terms of what I'm most
concerned about. (Door banging)
I would probably say... Yeah, I'm sorry.
I'm gonna stop you real quick and pause.
I keep hearing something over here,
I'm just gonna check it out real quick.
Oh yeah, it's fine, not a problem.
(sound hissing)
(button clicking)
(figure breathing)
(sound hissing)
Sorry about that, I
don't know what's going on.
Continue.
Yeah, so what I'm most concerned about
on our campus is how
much our transportation
seems to have shifted to calling Ubers
or using our vehicles.
Our decision to walk or bike to class,
I know it really doesn't
seem like a big one,
but it does add up.
And truly over time,
it can help decrease the amount
of released carbon dioxide.
Yes.
Very interesting, very important stuff.
So, flashing forward about 30 years.
(flesh squelching)
(blood gurgling)
(Emily screams)
(water gushing)
You seeing this.
All this.
All this bountiful nature.
It's nice, isn't it?
Don't get used to it, okay,
'cause it's going away.
That's right, 30 years all concrete.
Yeah.
We're killing this planet.
We've even got jobs dedicated to it.
Construction workers.
How about earth killers?
Choking the air, choking the ground.
Oh, humanity.
And let me tell you this.
No one is up there to help us.
Not God, 'cause he
doesn't exist, and not aliens.
And we do have time.
We can fix it.
But first we got, we need to do one,
we need to do one thing first.
(electricity crackling)
And it's really, it's
actually really simple
when you think about it, because.
(water gushing)
Yeah, I'm done.
(no audio)
(Parker weeping)
(knocking at door)
[Mom] Parker.
Can you open the door, honey?
I don't feel very well.

Open up, Parker!

[Parker] Mom?
(Parker breathing heavily)
(Parker continues breathing heavily)
(Mom giggles)
(electricity crackling)
All right, last stop before the trip
that changes our lives.
Okay, it'll be two seconds.
Just give me a moment,
I'll be back in a flash.
Wait.
All that stuff's in Conrad's
office that you access or?
Man, you're right.
Good thing I snagged his
key card before we left today.
I fucking love you.
[Sarah] Just gimme one moment.
What?
[Sarah] Be right back, babe.
Really?
You're just gonna leave me like this.
All right.
Goddammit.
(sirens blaring)
Woman, what are you doing?
Sarah!
Okay, is this open?
Word, word, word, all right, let's go.
Can't even keep it on
for the night owls, huh?
All right, cool, cool, cool.
That's a creepy hallway.
Let's, okay, moving on.
Sarah!
Sarah, baby.
Where you at?
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Statues, okay.
When did they put that in?
What the fuck?
Fine, fine, fine.
Whoa, what, that's a room.
Sarah, baby.
No.
Okay, no.
Let's move on, another hallway.
Sarah.
Babe, you know I don't go to class.
I don't know where the
fuck I'm at right now.
(footsteps thumping)
[Mom] Parker.
(electricity crackling)
[Parker] You're not real.
[Mom] We hear you calling.
(electricity crackling)
[Parker] You're not
real, you're not real.
(footsteps thumping)
You're not!
(electricity crackling)
[Blake] Come on,
pick up, pick up, pick up.
Come on, come on, come on.
Fine.
Sarah!
(phone ringing)
All right, no no no.
(phone continues ringing)
(flesh squelching)
What the, what?
Christ.
(flesh squelching)
Sarah.
[Sarah] Hi, it's Sarah.
It's looking like I'm a
little bit busy right now
but I'm gonna do my absolute best
- to get back to you.
- Oh fuck!
[Sarah] Bye!
(insects chirping)
[Blake] Okay, okay.
How the fuck do I get out of here?
(Blake gasping for breath)
What the fuck?
Ah!
(tense music)
(Blake gasping for breath)
Okay, okay.
All right you son of a bitch.
You fucking freak!
I swear to God, if you don't turn around
in the next five seconds,
I'm gonna go ape shit!
Five, four, three, two, one!
(insects chirping)
Come on!
No, no, no!

(tense music continues)
(tense music continues)
Are you still in there, little brother?
Why are you doing this?
(Parker breathing heavily)
(insects chirping)
You don't believe me.
I believe you.
It worked when you talked me through it.
I went somewhere,
somewhere, somewhere else.
I saw her.
I saw Mom and she followed me home.
I should have told you but I was so scared
because it's the only real
memory I have left of her.
(tense music continues)
(Parker breathing heavily)
(Parker continues breathing heavily)
I should have been there
for you when it happened.
I shut down and I left you
to deal with it on your own.
And for that, I am so sorry.
But this has to stop.
Don't be like her.
Don't lose yourself like Mom did.
