0:00 She said I cheated on her. I didn't cheat on her cuz we were never together. That's some gangster ████ >> No, we literally were never together and then I told her we are no longer dating. Welcome back to another episode of Careful Boys. We have Gucci with us today. >> [screaming] >> And we also have Jasmine with us today. >> Hello. I'm slumped after lunch. >> I know, I know the first episode after lunch is always the roughest one and I think everybody who's watching knows which ones those are. >> [laughter] >> So No, they don't. You don't know ████ dude. They don't know ████ dude. >> [laughter] >> Everybody's posture gets a little If it if the camera ever cuts to Joe's side, he's just looking down. It's those [laughter] ones. >> Food coma. >> It's those ones. So tell me a little bit about Tell us about the thing you're working on. You You like going on your
0:51 own doing this venture. What is it? >> Oh my gosh. Um I have the honor and pleasure of getting to dip my hand in production with uh my friend and her very first theatrical short. Correct? Cuz mostly like you focus on comedies and um this is her first drama and uh >> Oh, so this is both of you guys' baby like together? >> I wrote it and then yeah. >> Oh. >> Yeah, she's the writer. She's going to be starring in it. Um I'm producing and Just? >> Yeah, just just on the background. >> Ooh, I don't know about just. That's a big job you got over there. >> Yeah. So you know, we're we're nailing down a location. We're just you know, getting funds to to be able to pay the crew, you know. Oh, wow. Yeah, cuz it's expensive, guys. You cannot do it for free. So we're going to crowdfund here. Type ████ Yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah, so yeah, check the link
1:41 below in the description if you would like to support. >> Thanks, guys. What's the story about? So it is a time loop romantic drama and it's basically You guys seen Groundhog Day, right? Or just [clears throat] like a movie where you relive the same day over and over again. >> Yeah, like Happy Death Day. Yeah, so the character I'm playing is the main character, Ari. She is reliving the same day over and over again, which is her anniversary with her partner, Serenity. Serenity is not living this day over and over again, and no matter what she does, like the relationship keeps falling apart, and she wants to make it work, right? But the only way to make it work is to let it go. Right? So, she's like trying and trying and trying to keep reliving the same day over and over again till they did like she gets in her head. Got to let go. Oh. And when you say it's a theatrical short, how short are you talking? Like what's the length? >> Probably like 10 minutes, if that. >> Oh, 10 minutes. Oh, damn. Okay. Shorts
2:32 are a good like a proof of concept for a for a future project. Bigger funding later. Yeah, it might be less than 10 minutes. >> This already sounds like a tear jerker. When you say When you say it's like expensive, do you have like a budget already that you put together for this? >> We do have a budget, and and it's not a big budget at all, but typically short films can run you anything between 10 to the most I've ever seen was $100,000 for a short short film, which I think is ridiculous, but um fortunately, unfortunately, we have to create our own things if you want to be perceived in a certain way, so yeah. Also, people are wildly uncreative, so, you know, without a visual, oftentimes, people don't see the vision. All right. Yeah, if you're trying to like sell the idea, yeah. So, what what are some of the higher costs that you run into when you put a short together? People. People's time is expensive, yeah.
3:22 >> Well, that's cool that you're choosing to pay people what they're worth, time-wise. Not everybody does that. Not everybody's getting paid, though, so >> pulling the homie card? Oh, I'm asking for some favors, but like I have to rent equipment. >> Definitely pulling favors. The pay for a space, I have to feed everyone. How much you get pay yourself? I'm not getting paid. >> [laughter] >> And like all these Pay yourself. I have to pay somebody to edit it, and I have to pay for short film like uh short to put in a short film circuit, like festival circuit. Oh, that's right. Okay, so that's a cost in itself to get it shopped to festivals, yeah? >> Yeah, like some of them can be $100 for submission, depend. Yeah. Yeah, and then if you do 10 of them, that's $1,000 right there. As a as a submission fee? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, there's a Yeah, there's submission fees. >> So, that that fee you have to pay
4:12 regardless of whether or not they choose to show your film. >> Correct. Just to get them to look at it. >> Yeah, I mean it's an application, right? It's like a college application, yeah. And it doesn't always guarantee like you get it back. Like when you make short film is is a complete investment in yourself. You're not getting that money back, no matter what. So. Do you have any like specific songs you want that you probably have to get licensing for or anything? Or is that like way down the We're not going to do any licensing. We got a bunch of creative friends, so we're going to pull from them. Yeah. Make music. >> Working with friends to make yeah, music for the project. I know someone that plays piano hell of good. >> [laughter] >> Perfect. Love that. Love that. Love that. Yeah, I got I got a lot of time loop songs you can use. It's all chopsticks. IT'S A TIME LOOP. >> [laughter] >> SAY THAT AGAIN. HE'S GOING TO REGISTER. >> [laughter] >> IT'S A ROCK SONG. IT LIKE IT DOESN'T
5:03 MATCH HER VIBE, but I'm like pitching it hard. I'm like you can have it for free. >> [laughter] >> No, but also I will say it is a predominantly female ensemble. So, like the two me and the other lead is female, and then my director's female. My producers are female except one, and it's queer. Everybody I got a DP that's a girl and gay, and then my sound person is gay and a girl. It's a time loop. All queer females. >> [laughter] >> Everybody's gay. What do you think? What do you think? I like I like I like I like I like I like I like I like But the Pizza Hut delivery guy is male. Yeah. Oh, really? There's a Pizza Hut delivery guy? No, there is a waiter in there. He's he is he is a man. >> [laughter] >> Do you need a gay marine? I'll be a gay marine. Yeah. yeah, I think I might need a game marine. Yeah. A game marine. That's the only marine
5:53 you can be, huh? Yeah. [laughter] That's hilarious. >> You're all like, "Hey, you could HAVE THIS SONG." >> GAME MARINE. [laughter] GAME MARINE. He's just an extra >> [laughter] >> walking in the back. What is your other theme song? >> [laughter] >> Damn, you guys have a lot of songs you're using in this. It's the same song. It's the same song. But with different lyrics. There's only one license. That's why. It's the one song one license. It's a [laughter] rock ballad. Mad love. >> Track the tracklist, everything. It's a and insert. [laughter] To work it out, you got to let it go. >> [laughter] >> GIVES AWAY THE PLOT. WHAT? IT'S A LOVE THEME. >> [laughter] >> IT'S A TIME LOOP. You know this is your producer, right? Are you scared? Yeah. [laughter] No, I love it. I love it. She's so
6:44 creative. But yeah. >> [laughter] >> Yeah. I love it. Green light. Yeah. She put it She put together a really good pitch deck. I think that's really going to solidify us getting a location. So, yeah. HERE'S MY PITCH DECK. >> [laughter] >> IS THAT HOW OUR PITCH DECK GOES? >> [laughter] >> OH MY GOD, GUYS. I promise their joking is not a is not a comedy, but it is >> [laughter] >> It's going to be great nonetheless. And then all you're going to expect a comedy. I can't wait to see the actual the actual thing where like it's way [laughter] out of proportion. Oh, dude, we're going to cry for sure, dude. >> Does the story come from a personal place? >> It does. It's It's solely is uh loosely based off of >> [laughter] >> Hilarious. It's loosely based off of this situation I had with this girl. And like she said I cheated on her. I didn't cheat on her cuz we were never together.
7:35 >> [laughter] >> That's some gangster ████ >> No, we literally were never together and then I told her we were no longer dating. And then I don't understand why people be obsessed with you with you do when you're not with them anymore. And she was like, "Well, I don't want to know. I'm not going to be upset if you've been with someone." And then I told her cuz she said she wanted to know. She basically begged. I told her and she was devastated. She Oh, I'm I'm such a cheater. Blah, blah, blah. It just made me feel really bad about myself. And then she called herself like trying to work it out with me and she wouldn't stop bringing it up. She was like, "Oh, February 3rd was the day. February 3rd. February 3rd." So then I was like, "Okay, ████ that." I wrote it. It's called February 3rd and it's about because she kept talking about it and I'm like, "Oh, it felt like I was reliving the same thing." And then that's how it And is she aware that you're making this movie? I don't know. She's blocked. Oh. >> Yeah. Is she going to show up? What if she's going to think that it's a message to Wait, you want me back? >> Absolutely not. >> It's a message
8:25 to [laughter] me. YOU WANT ME BACK. Wouldn't that be funny though if she goes if she goes to the premiere and she's in the crowd and as the movie's going she's like, "Mhm, no. That's not how that [laughter] happened." SHE'S LIKE, "NAH. UH-UH. That's not I didn't say that." All cap. All cap. I did some of some of the some of the dialogue is some things that she said to me. >> Oh, word for word. Oh, ████ >> Yeah, I had to cut it some of it out, but yeah. Is she the kind of person that if she really did see it, like seriously, would she actually come to like understand who she was in that situation? >> I think so, but also we I don't know her that well. We were only dating for like 2 months. So it just seemed like a lot. She definitely she she gassed it a little bit. >> real her for her though, it seems like. >> I mean, did we did have real feelings
9:15 for each other and I'm not going to deny the fact that she felt some type of way based on my actions, but why would you ask me something that you didn't want to hear? And I and I I was like, "Why would you want to know that?" [clears throat] >> She got a short film out of it. >> Hey, type ████ How would you feel if one of someone made a short film out of your escapade with them? >> Ooh. >> An escapade? Yeah, like he's had many escapades as well. Well, and hey, relax. All right. If someone made a a series then I should say. >> A series? I think number one, damn. So every episode is another time loop with another That's crazy. >> woman? >> Low key like the first thought is like kind of like weirdly flattering, right? But then then let's say you go and watch it, your ego burns just like damn it's kind of about me. It's I'm feeling kind of I bet narcissists eat that up, right? >> She kind of was a little bit. >> But then if like at the end it's like, you know, the way I'm painted is so bad,
10:05 then that'd be crazy. >> Oh. >> Who's the villain? Well what I will say with this, nobody is a villain. It I wanted it to come across as like just two people who who didn't work out. You know it's that story of like you stay in some ████ too long. It's that. THE VILLAIN IS TIME. >> [laughter] >> YOU'RE COOKING. YOU'RE COOKING, RYAN. You're cooking, bro. You're cooking. And then the cuts to credits right after that. The villain [laughter] is time. Cuts to credits RIGHT AWAY. >> I'VE NEVER I'M GOING TO BE editing this in the editing room. I'm going to just keep hearing The time loop. >> [laughter] >> VILLAIN IS TIME. WE GOT the hook, y'all. >> We got options at least. >> Nobody's wrong or right. >> No, I didn't want nobody to be like oh, I wanted people to understand both perspectives. Like yes, that sucked. Of
10:55 course you're hurt, but like why are you dealing with it then, you know? And you're playing your yourself in this? >> Kind of, yeah. In a in a It's kind of gassed a little bit cuz I did pull from another situation. Or you create like a little different like character? >> Yeah. So I basically pulled two situations. So it was another one I was getting ready to marry someone. And um so I kind of pulled from that scenario. So they're yeah, to make one story. Yeah. Yeah. You got anything for that? I got cold feet. >> [laughter] >> I got cold feet. >> [laughter] >> Yeah, it's great it's going to be a great great story. Hopefully a tear jerker. I just want people to you know feel good. >> That's going to be dope too to like get interviews of that other girl like about how hey how did you feel about this that you saw like is it accurate? She's like we
