00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03 Hey, Dad.
00:06 What are you doing?
00:07 Hey, hi.
00:08 I'm trying to make another film, a short film,
00:10 a really, really short one, like 30 seconds.
00:12 I mean, a 30-second film is much harder,
00:15 because each scene is like a second, maybe.
00:18 The main character happens to be a website.
00:20 Now, the thing is, I don't really
00:23 know what a website is or what it thinks about,
00:25 what it cares about, if it cares about anything at all.
00:28 I don't know if it thinks, if it thinks at all.
00:29 I need to sort of get inside the sense of what a website is.
00:34 It's almost as I have to create one.
00:36 So design it.
00:39 Now?
00:40 Yeah, here, on your computer.
00:43 Just to come over and do it?
00:44 Yeah, let's make it.
00:45 What is it about?
00:46 An intergalactic plea for connection.
00:50 So like Martians?
00:52 Well, no, it shouldn't be Martians,
00:53 because if they're Martians and they come from Mars,
00:55 it's right there, right here.
00:56 I'm talking about intergalactic, like another galaxy.
00:59 Like extraterrestrials just in general?
01:01 Yeah, extraterrestrials, maybe for like 100 years
01:03 or so, have been trying to contact us
01:05 or connect with us in some way.
01:06 They've been doing snowstorms in the Sahara,
01:09 and mad rhinos running down Wall Street,
01:12 all these little overtures.
01:14 And at any point, they've been trying to connect with us.
01:17 If they're doing that sort of thing,
01:19 they could have touched down in Times Square,
01:20 right in the middle of Times Square,
01:21 and just come right out and did it.
01:22 But they're not.
01:24 And I think what it is is that they're waiting.
01:26 They're waiting to be discovered.
01:29 Okay, well, I mean, what do you think they want?
01:32 To not feel that they're alone.
01:35 So like they want a friend?
01:39 They want us to be friends.
01:40 They got a real problem.
01:41 (both laughing)
01:43 They come down here for us to be friends?
01:45 No, no, I think they have,
01:46 maybe other people, but not us.
01:47 Okay, all right, okay, well, okay.
01:50 The first thing you need is a domain.
01:53 A domain right away, stop right there,
01:54 'cause that's, in my mind, medieval.
01:56 I think medieval things, domain.
01:58 You know, King Athelred the Unready,
02:00 he had a domain.
02:01 It was in England.
02:03 Right, no, but it's like the URL,
02:05 like a link.
02:05 It's a what?
02:06 A URL.
02:07 It's a link, it brings you to the website.
02:10 How do you get a link, seriously?
02:11 Well, that's what I'm saying, you create one.
02:13 Do you have a name, idea for this?
02:15 A name.
02:16 An outstretched hand across the cosmos?
02:18 And a little smaller.
02:23 Okay, hands across the universe.
02:25 No, maybe they don't have hands.
02:28 What do they have?
02:29 I don't know what they have.
02:29 (laughing)
02:30 Who knows what they have?
02:31 I'm just saying, whatever, yeah.
02:33 How about we're like looking up at them,
02:38 we say, "Hello up there, hello."
02:41 What if it's from them?
02:43 Well, it could be from their point of view,
02:44 which means, "Hello down there."
02:47 That's it, you've got, yeah.
02:49 Okay, so that'll work, that's a good,
02:51 I get a headline, too.
02:53 Do you like any of these fonts?
02:54 This one's too old-fashioned.
02:56 Okay.
02:57 This one, it's nice, but that's too pretty in a way.
02:59 This one is too loud.
03:00 Right.
03:01 I mean, it just bursts right in the conversation.
03:04 This one is like Upper East Side, right?
03:06 They do the New Yorker and all that, you know?
03:09 Wait, go back.
03:10 No, no, make that bolder.
03:11 Too much.
03:13 Too little.
03:14 Oh, that's not bad.
03:16 I mean, it's a greeting, and it's like a plea.
03:18 Yeah. A yearning.
03:20 Yeah.
03:21 We're not careful, we can humanize them,
03:23 which will really ruin everything.
03:24 I'm starting to get it now.
03:25 I didn't know a website,
03:27 I didn't really know a website could do that.
03:29 Yeah, I mean, it's basically not real
03:31 if it's not on the internet.
03:33 This website slaps, kid, doesn't it?
03:37 Oh my God.
03:38 Is that slapping or what?
03:39 No, I--
03:40 All right, guys, let's get going.
03:41 We sold it.
03:42 I really regret ever teaching you that.
03:44 Okay, look lively, everybody.
03:46 I'm going the wrong way.
03:47 Jesus.
03:48 (audience laughing)
03:50 Oh.
03:51 (silence)
