is just insane.

No worries at all.

All right, good stuff.

So, here we go.

Okay. Harry Dorsey,

Teddy Dorsey, George Appleton.

Director, writer, star of

Mad Youth, the best short...

You know what? No, the

best film I saw at South By.

Thank you.

Paul hasn't been able to stop

talking about you guys

since the festival.

I'm Jason.

Great to meet you.

I'm Jason, too.

Double Jasons. Mind-blowing,

yeah, I know, it's crazy.

All right, let's have

a seat, everybody.

Now, listen up.

We have some great ideas

about how to turn

your short into a feature.

And, again,

I really did love it.

You know, I saw it again this morning

while I was running on the treadmill.

It is special.

Thanks.

This is gonna be a breakout

role for you, Teddy.

We should get you out on auditions

right away, don't you think?

TEDDY:
Yeah.

Definitely.

And George,

your writing is so spot-on.

I just love

that Joan character.

I think we've all had a Joan

in our lives, am I right?

Thanks. It's Jane.

Would you ever be interested

in any episodic work?

I mean, yeah!

But in terms of our movie,

what's, like,

the next move here?

Right. Okay. So, well,

first thing we need to do

is to attach a producer.

And it just so happens

somebody's already interested.

I might have slipped

your short to Justin Miller

and he kinda

flipped for it.

Justin Miller?

Is that the guy who produces

all those horror movies?

He's been looking to do

something a little more human.

He's very smart, by the way,

and he's done insanely

well off those horror films.

Okay, guys.

He's a big producer.

He likes your movie.

This is a good thing.

Definitely! But, does he know we

don't have a finished script yet?

Yeah, and that is

a great thing actually

because Justin wants to

develop it with you guys.

And this one here looks

like he wants to kill me.

(ALL LAUGHING)

That's just George.

Only thing is, I talked

to his development guy

and they're concerned about the

movie being in black and white.

That's okay,

that's okay. We can...

Maybe we can

talk him into it.

Right. Okay, guys, look.

If you don't like him, we're

gonna find somebody else.

But Justin can make

your movie happen.

So, be open. Okay?

Yeah. We're open.

BARTENDER:
Here you go.

Thank you so much.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

I know you're his brother.

Are you Teddy Dorsey

from Mad Youth?

I'm just trying to be a

normal human being for one day?

Oh, my God,

I'm a huge fan.

Har, can we chat for 30 seconds

about the black and white thing?

George, have

a little faith, please!

Just let me

get it off my chest.

Guys, guys. Hey.

I wanna make

a toast, seriously.

To this incredible

journey and to us and...
