well, i'm not really sure what you're trying to say. it's funny, i suppose. but it seems glib and facile to just make fun of how idiotic these people are.
you're showing how superior you are to your subject.
no, you don't.
the camerawork's nice.
this is definitely better.
this is entertainment you're making, toby. this story about a kid in the suburbs and the state of the college admissions process has, with this brady crisis, evolved into something much richer and more provocative.
i mean, without this footage, without this rigorous documentation, it would feel like exploitation.
you've got a family tragedy on your hands. will you tell me what's funny about that? about a kid in a coma?
i mean, why are you making this documentary if you can't treat your subject with appropriate gravity?
i dunno, toby. we really have a long way to go. you still need a lot more footage, and it's probably a little premature to start screening…
we're not ready.
we're not ready!
what's an audience going to tell you?
