The story

Dee has nothing. Except four letters under her chin. Then Wyatt turns up, with the same word above his brow.

A trailer park on the edge of a small town, somewhere in America. Dee wears four letters under her chin: BOFF.

Inked when she had nothing. The one thing nobody gave her and nobody can take. Her reason to get up in the morning. The only possession that never went to the pawnshop.

Then Wyatt turns up. Same word, above the eyebrow. From here on it isn’t hers alone. The film is about what that does to a person. And what won’t come off.

Picture, motion and voices are generated. Idea, direction, prompting, edit and music are not. The hard part was never the tech. It was keeping Dee Dee in every shot, and making two people who don’t exist talk like they have something to say to each other.

The cast
Lead

Dee

Rational, precise, quick to lose patience. She feels something for Wyatt and can’t stand that he stays in character.

Lead

Wyatt

Method acting, always. Above all he wants one thing: for Dee to like him. Underneath: unsure, easily hurt.

Supporting

Lee

The bartender. Stands behind the bar and sees more than he says.

The sheets

Every shot started as a sheet.

Characters, places and props, each built once so it looks the same in every shot. Turn the sphere, open a sheet, read the start of the prompt behind it.

The series

Two actors after the shoot. One of them can’t get out of his role. A series about the people behind the characters, who don’t exist either.
