Filming begins on the warehouse floor. Kevin falls face-first into the fake blood jug, wiping out their supply. Sofia yells at him, but Jake stops the argument. Sofia steadies Marcus's stabilizer with a board before the sun goes down. That night, Jake and Kevin mock Leo's strange speech scene. Days later, filming goes smoothly and Jake calls wrap. Then Elena answers a terrifying phone call.
Kevin loses his footing on the slick warehouse concrete. He plunges directly face-first into their single open jug of fake blood. The red mix splashes across the floor, completely ruining their prepared supply for the scene.
Sofia furiously screams at Kevin for destroying the blood she bought. Kevin defends himself, but Jake steps in and stops the fight. The team faces the harsh reality that their fake blood budget is completely gone.
Marcus struggles to keep the smartphone rig level on the uneven ground. Sofia quickly brings over a flat wooden board and slides it under his stabilizer, locking the shot in place before the daylight disappears.
Later that night at the desk, Jake and Kevin read over Leo's latest scene. Jake laughs at the idea of a character lecturing zombies about climate change, while Leo defends his artistic vision against their teasing.
A few days later, the shoot runs smoothly and Jake calls a wrap on the scene. While the crew celebrates their progress, Elena answers an alarming phone call. She listens to the voice and stares back in pure shock.
“Kevin, that was my last two hundred bucks worth of blood!”
“Humanity's last hope giving a climate speech to zombies.”
“It's called depth. You philistines wouldn't get it.”
Jake calls wrap on a successful scene, and the tired crew takes a well-earned rest. Across the room, Elena picks up her phone and hears a disturbing voice on the other end. She freezes in horror and stares back at her team. What dangerous message did Elena receive, and will it destroy the entire production?
