The Backrooms

Film Day

Hi my name is Jane Hoffner I am a film student at [Redacted] and I'm...

I leans back at my chair trying to think of what I should say next

"God I hate trying to write a job application" I said leaning my head back

"What to say what to say" I whispered to myself trying to think

As I was trying to do that I heard a knock on my door

"Coming!" I said getting up from my chair and closing my laptop, then I heading over to the door

As I open the door I could probably already tell who it was

I open the door and I was correcting my assumption

"Hey Jane, how's your job application coming" a friend of mine said looking down at me because he was way too tall

"Hey Lucas nice to see your ugly mug around here, I mean it's coming"

"Well you better have time to spare because the gang wants to film right now, and you know how they could be"

"Well tell them I'm busy I have things to do with my life, and plus that film project isn't even do for another 2 weeks" I said as I was about to shut my door

"I mean if you're trying to be a film director you got to take these things serious, despite how unserious they take them"

I thought about what Lucas said and he was right, plus I could probably clear my mind a bit and try to think of what to write for this job application

"Okay fine I'll go, but you owe me one for this"

"Like always" he said moving out the way so I can exit my dorm

We walked down the hallways of the dormitory and it was always crowded with people like normal, especially since it was a Friday

When we got outside of the dormitory and then I realize, I have no idea where they wanted to film

"Yo slender Man do you know where they wanted to film, cuz either I forgot or they didn't tell me"

"They said behind me east side of the south building" he said pointing to where we had to go

"Why that side? it's all musty back there"

"I don't know they said it would be a good ambiance, plus My chemical romance we are making a horror short so it gives the right vibes"

"*Sigh* you got a fair point there, why are they choosing the film spots aren't I the director?"

"Like I said you know how they are they like to take initiative to these kinds of things"

"It's like we're working with a bunch of idiots" I said as we walked closer to the spot.

We finally got there after some time and I saw the rest of our film crew there

Grace she was our actress for this little short film we were making

Zachary who is going to be playing the ghost/demon of the film as well as a homeless man in one scene

And Kris who was our boom mic operator

Lucas was the cameraman and I am the director

They were all messing around by the trash can saying dumb sh*t and doing dumb sh*t

"Hey guys look who I drag out of their dark and gloomy room" Lucas said pointing to me with his thumb

"Hey Jane, you finally ready to start filming?" Kris said to my holding the boom mic
