00:00Hi, I'm Parker Finn, the writer-director of Smile, and what you're about to watch is a short film that I wrote and directed in 2019 called Laura Hasn't Slept.
00:11Laura Hasn't Slept premiered at South by Southwest in 2020, and that's where Paramount first saw it, and this was the origin of everything that became Smile. Hope you enjoy.
00:30Do you think that if a dream feels real enough, it can affect you in the real world?
00:55Like, just something so horrible that it could hurt you?
01:09Do you think a nightmare could kill you?
01:12Are you having nightmares again, Laura?
01:20Is that why you're here today?
01:25Do you have coffee?
01:39Renee, can we have some coffee brought in, please?
01:46So, you're having nightmares?
01:49Just one, but I just have had it every night since last week.
01:53Tell me about it.
01:56So, the dream, it's the same dream every time, but it starts off differently.
02:01I'll be at work, or in my apartment, or on the train.
02:06But wherever I am, I just, I get this terrible, nervous feeling in my stomach.
02:12Like, I know something is wrong, but I can't remember what.
02:14And then a man appears, and it's the same man in every dream.
02:26And he's smiling at me.
02:27But it's not like a friendly smile.
02:33There's something the matter with his, with his eyes.
02:39I've just, I've really never been scared of anything like I'm scared of this man.
02:44And I've spent the past two nights keeping myself awake all night, because I don't want to see him again.
02:50Renee, never mind that coffee.
02:53I feel like I'm missing my mind.
02:56That's not healthy, Laura.
02:59Sleep is essential to our mental well-being, and to deprive yourself...
03:02I know, I know, I'm sorry, I just, I have this really awful feeling that the next time I fall asleep, I'm...
03:11Talk to me about the man.
03:16Is he someone you recognize?
03:19No, no.
03:22No, he's, um...
03:26It's just, it's really hard to explain.
03:28Each time I've had the dream, he has a different face.
03:30And it's, it's, it's like he's wearing a disguise, but it's, it's like a, I don't know, it's like a mask.
03:39But it's not a mask, because it's also a face.
03:41And I know it's him, though.
03:43I know it's him, because, because of his eyes.
03:46And the way that he says my name, he says it over and over and over.
03:50And I, I just, I don't ever, ever want to hear that voice ever again.
03:54Do you suppose there's a reason why this man with different faces appears in your dreams?
04:03He wants to show me his real face.
04:05He wants to show me the one he has behind the others that he wears.
04:09And I know, I know that it sounds crazy, but I'm scared.
04:14I'm scared that if I see that face...
04:16I'll die!
04:24Why are you here, Laura?
04:27So I can put an end to these awful dreams!
04:30That's not what I'm asking.
04:32Why are you here?
04:35What, what are you talking about?
04:37How did you happen to come to this office to discuss your dreams with me?
04:42I mean, am I your therapist?
04:49Have we ever even met before?
04:52Tell me, Laura.
04:54Are you certain you're not dreaming?
04:59Right now.
05:12Okay.
05:18Let's get to this office.
05:22You're right.
05:30You're right.
05:31You're right.
05:36Don't you're right.
05:37No...
05:38No!
05:40No!

07:22No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
07:52No, no, no.
08:22No, no, no.
08:52No, no.
09:22No, no, no, no, no.
09:28No, no, no.
09:58I had a dream late last night.
10:04I dreamed you were here holding me tight.
10:40They were there on my bed.
10:46I had a dream I had last night.
10:50You held me in your arms.
10:56You kissed me and you told me that you loved me.
