• Incorporate Stephanie's Victorian home and Fort Ord's Incinerator
• Include music of Tokyo 77
• Make homages to Hitchcock's films throughout
• Cinematography (B&W?):
  • Start and end with ethereal flow: dolly, slowmo(?)
  • Climax: Blair Witch shaky terror feel
• Make Camera (the viewer) a character -- a witness to a crime?
• For the most part (or all?) -- dialogueless
Berlin

Begin with unnecessary and dangerous walls in parking lots that prohibit seeing cars and pedestrians
"Tear down this wall!" -Ronald Reagan
Unfold to more faults, then conclude with bigger, sweeping message
Everyone and Their Mother

8 Minutes
• It takes 8 minutes for light to reach Earth from the Sun
• Sun explodes, but we don't see it for 8 minutes
• Humans must escape, some don't
The Party
A democratic country is built upon the notion of one "party," which is nondivisive
Elections are based upon qualifications, not party lines
It thrives, while other countries question the possibility
World peace!
Idiom Addict
Title is mockery of the term idiomatic
