8. What should audiences be excited about?

“Several cast members spent hours — from after school until 11 at night, to be specific — filming a soap opera. There is a moment where Emily Kostbade slaps James Kauffman. Subsequently, she kills Aaron Jachim’s wife with a poisoned bonbon. Double subsequently, she makes out with Aaron Jachim. Our director Kyle Black filmed the whole thing.”
