Director Statement

Friendship and trust between a group of close friends,
this documentary will be done differently because we
the audience are moving with the characters in the
same timeline. The characters in the mockumentary
and the audience are learning and finding out new
information at the same time, as well as how close the
bond between these group of friends are. Additionally,
the mockumentary is very meta making it an
entertaining and new concept to a documentary.
