Severed Footage Page #4

You don't like my cameraman skills?

You picked me.

I swear I remember as a kid something

about mining down there.

Mining?

Ya. Again I don't really know much about

this place.

Even though I've lived here most my life.

Well it is Nanaimo.

Not much happens here.

Maybe someone on one of the boats knows

something.

- Maybe. - They're old with wisdom.

We could ask some of them.

- This is the historic Nanaimo boardwalk.

- Historic. - Apparently.

This one looks pretty sea worthy.

We could get them to take us out...

for a ride.

See what we could find.

Yeah, I wonder where the Captain is of it?

Maybe down in the bottom.

Hey, how do you get a rock chip in a boat.

The boat in front kicks it up right in

front.

Dang, that's a pretty brutal rock chip too.

Hello sir.

Sir.

What?

- Hi.

- What's up.

We're actually students from the college

and we were looking to do a project...

about something about the local area and

we were hoping we could get an interview...

with someone who has been around here for

a while.

-I know nothing.

- No?

- No.

- How long have you lived here?

What's it to you?

Just curious. Possibly longer then me.

- Well, I've just been here over 30 years.

- 30 years.

I don't know anything.

- No?

- No.

No? You don't know anything about

the area at all?

- What do you want to know?

- Absolutely anything.

Are you filming me?

Are you, are you filming me?

We are if that is ok with you.

I don't much like cameras.

Is it ok if we mostly just don't point it

at you then?

- Point it anywhere, but not at me.

- Ok.

- Mostly over here then.

-Ok, ok I'll keep it just on this guy.

- Ok. - Ok.

- So what do you want?

Anything about the area.

I don't really know much about this place.

Like I know that Nanaimo had a lot of coal

mining.

But we don't really want to do stuff like

coal mining.

- That was closed years ago.

- Ya.

You're not filming me are you?

- No. Just getting the frame setup.

- Ok ok ok.

If you don't film me.

You can come on board.

- So just come and sit down here.

- Ok.

Nice boat you have here.

Well I try to keep it that way. Ya.

I try to. Try to do my best.

What's up?

So you've lived here for about 30 years

on your boat?

Ya well at night I go out.

- What do you want to know?

- About anything.

- It is not a nice place.

- Not a nice place?

- Not at night time.

- No. - Not at night time.

- What's bad about night time?

- To use your kids term, words...

- Ya?

- It sucks at night time.

- Oh ya.

- What sucks about night?

Noisy. I wouldn't stay ashore.

No?

Why not?

You probably don't believe me.

It's haunted.

You're right.

You know about it do you?

No. You're right that I won't believe you.
