Jack Webb, 70, is a successful reality TV producer who’s just found out he’s dying a little faster from a disease he thought would have taken him out years ago. But, because Jack took care of his mind through meditation, dying is the least of his problems now: Jack has an “idea” he must get out to the world before he gets out of it. He just needs a vehicle to drive his worldwide viewers to the streaming campfire, which will then give him the stage for his big reveal.
To that end, Jack chooses a white, male, sports management billionaire, 40, and a Black, female, Florida police sergeant, 35, as his minivan. Jack’s “reality” crews will secretly film their lives over two days, and then their instinctively human struggles will be broadcast worldwide on the same night. To level it up, Jack has loaded the two “shorts” here with hacked photos and videos from his unsuspecting subjects' social media accounts. This is now illegally shot film with character builds, flashbacks, and music. YouTube. There will be encounters on the way to Oz. Jack will be a commentating guide while these “movies” are being streamed; “This is Golden Globe time”!
Jack has also publicized that there’ll be prize money worth billions when a voting contest is held that same night over the guerrilla-gotten, true-life stories he’s created. What?
When the big night arrives, this is the first thing Jack’s worldwide audience sees on their big and small screens:
DISCLAIMER: DURING THIS STREAMING BROADCAST, THE SEARCH OPTION ON YOUR COMPUTER AND CELLPHONE WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR KEYWORDS THAT COULD BE RELATED TO THIS PROGRAM.
What? How can one American control the internet? How can Jack film “plausible” flashbacks about people and stream their lives to tunes? Where are those billions coming from, and is Jack even really dying?
Jack will have his moment on a worldwide stage to display his lifelong “idea”; He may be technically dead (or not) when he has millions watching him do it, he may only be “technologically” alive when he does, but, no matter, Jack Webb is going to show the people of the world his production of an indisputable “fact” set to Elvis.

A very curious tale. I love…
A very curious tale. I love the final monologue - and I wish Jack was a real person.
