(First in a series on the making and marketing of a motion picture.) INTERIOR CAFÉ — DAY: Rob sits inside a café. Miles enters with a backpack. He hands it to Rob, who pulls out a hat and sunglasses. He puts them on to disguise himself. MILES What’s going on, man? ROB You know about the murders? The one’s that are happening in town? MILES Who doesn’t? It’s all over the news. Everyone’s saying it’s the return of the “Box Cutter Killer.” ROB I think the FBI thinks I’m a suspect. MILES Why would they think that? ROB I don’t know. Maybe I’m being framed. MILES Yeah. Because that’s what a serial killer does; frame an accountant for his murders. ROB Miles, I’m serious! MILES Well, I’m sorry. It doesn’t seem very plausible to me. ROB OK. Well, what if I told you I was connected — to some of his victims. To him. My mother was his first victim. MILES Your mother? ROB Yeah. And his last victims, Dr. Neil and the other guy, I knew them. MILES Woah, Rob. Slow down, OK. You’re not making any sense. ROB The guy, his last victim, was the guy that robbed me. I was one of the last people to see him alive. And Dr. Neil ... MILES What? Dr. Neil, what? ROB OK. What I’m about to tell you, I’ve never told anyone. WAKE FOREST — Are the police after Rob? Does Rob find the killer? Or does the killer catch up to him first? To solve this murder mystery, you’ll have to wait and see the movie — A Box For Rob, currently under production at Uptone Pictures in downtown.
