WE SEE CHAD VIENTE-NUEVO LAYING DOWN PEACEFULLY IN HIS BED, EYES ALTERNATING BETWEEN OPEN AND SHUT, ARMS FOLDED BEHIND HIS HEAD.
CHAD (ON CAMERA)
Who am I?
CHAD CLOSES HIS EYES.
CHAD CONTINUED (VOICE OVER)
A damn fool.
CHAD SMIRKS TO HIMSELF. HE OPENS HIS EYES.
CHAD (ON CAMERA)
What was I born for?
CHAD CLOSES HIS EYES.
CHAD (VOICE OVER)
You were born to assist the transformation of human consciousness.
CHAD OPENS HIS EYES.
CHAD (ON CAMERA)
And how am I supposed to do this now exactly?

With your camera ZAREYAH! You take pictures on your phone, using its camera.

KEVI (CONTINUED) (ON CAMERA)
GEESH!!!
CUT TO:
INT.BEDROOM.DAY.
CHAD's STILL ON HIS BED RELAXING, EYES CLOSED.
CHAD (VOICE OVER)
With your passion. Always follow your passion. Follow it until it follows you. It's your biggest weapon NUEVO, retain that.
CHAD RISES FROM THE BED ABRUPTLY.
CHAD (ON CAMERA)
Yes, yes, Filmmaking.

KEVI STILL ON THE PHONE.
KEVI (ON CAMERA)
Now ASHLII - You know you don't have what it takes to be a professional filmmaker.

VIENTE-NUEVO AND MAMA NUEVO SIPPING TEA AT THE TABLE. HIS HEAD IS HUNG DOWN, SHE PICKS IT UP GENTLY.
MAMA NUEVO (ON CAMERA)
Listen carefully baby -
CHAD LOOKS UP AT HER.
MAMA NUEVO (CONTINUED) (ON CAMERA)
You have what it takes to be a professional filmmaker. Word is bond.
CHAD JUST SMILES AT HER.

CHAD IS WALKING AROUND WHILE HIS INNER MONOLOGUE BEGINS.
CHAD (OFF SCREEN)
That was MOM DUKES - MOMMA NUEVO. The dearest, nearest, person to my heart. If she were not, I would not be. If she wasn't her, my dreams would've been disappeared way before this period of manifestation.
CUT TO:
INT.LIVING ROOM.DAY
CHAD AND MAMA NUEVO SITTING ON THE COUCH. HIS MONOLOGUE CONTINUES.
CHAD (CONTINUED) (OFF SCREEN)
My mother and I have an exquisitely manifested relationship. I never disrespected her; it's just not smart and so i never will. We are very close - I'm the baby of her 3boys so I'm naturally sheltered - the good sheltered though. I created my 1st short film at age 12.
No script, no editing software, Hi-8 tapes, shot every scene in order, food coloring for blood, 2friends and a bunch of plastic, ice cream truck guns. She supported me then, and still continues to do so.

CHAD WALKING AROUND.
CHAD (CONTINUED) (OFF SCREEN)
My mom's a funny person. She's 50% weird, my father's 75% weird, making me a smooth 125% weird. She can however be a tad bit eccentric at times. For example -

CHAD WALKING UPSTAIRS. HE WALKS IN THE HOUSE AND INTO HIS ROOM.
KEVI (ON CAMERA)
Oooooooooh - you are so busted!!!
CHAD HAS A BAFFLED LOOK ON HIM. HE WALKS INTO HIS ROOM. MAMA NUEVO IS SITTING ON HIS BED.
MAMA NUEVO (ON CAMERA)
Have a seat CHAD.
CHAD SITS.
CHAD (ON CAMERA)
What's going on Ma?
CHAD looks thru some documents.
MAMA NUEVO
I was in here earlier, looking for the baby's clothes until I found something deeply disturbing. I don't even see myself falling asleep tonight.
CHAD IS NERVOUS.
MAMA NUEVO (CONTINUED) (ON CAMERA)
At 1st I felt compelled to alert the authorities and have them come deal with it but I'd preder to stage an intervention instead. So here's your 1st and final warning CHAD:
SHE PULLS OUT A BOOK FROM HER SIDE.
MAMA NUEVO (ON CAMERA)
Don't ever let me see another one of my precious books in this dirty grass room, ever again.
MAMA NUEVO WALKS OUT THE ROOM AS CHAD LOOKS AT THE CAMERA DUMBFOUNDEDLY. HE SHAKES HIS HEAD.
CUT TO:
EXT.POOL.DAY
CHAD (OFF SCREEN)
You see what I mean man? Unfortunately for CHAD - everyone is not as beneficial to him as a person.
CUT TO:
EXT.PARK.DAY
CHAD WALKING AROUND, TALKING.
CHAD (ON CAMERA)
Here's the thing: I'm a creative a** artist, and a damn talented one at that. If creativity were something you could smoke; no one would ever be able to match one with ya boi!
CUT TO:
INT.LIVING ROOM.DAY
CHAD WORKING OUT AND READING. HIS MONOLOGUE CONTINUES.
CHAD (OFF SCREEN)
I am so in tuned with my highest self, my GOD factor, where all ideas await mental captivation, I'm able to manifest almost anything required in the present moment. You can write a list of 25 interesting facts on any given topic and I will effortlessly create poems, songs and short film scripts based on your selection.
CUT TO:
EXT.PARK.DAY
CHAD WALKING AROUND AGAIN.
CHAD (CONTINUED) (ON CAMERA)
So, because I am so in touch with myself, giving me the ability to surpass the thought processes, consciousness levels and creative powers of those around or not around me, I find myself the subject of constant mental and emotional manipulation, from my peers. I feel endlessly persecuted against for just being nothing more than CHAD XZAVIER VIENTE-NUEVO.
CUT TO:
INT.WORKOUT ROOM.DAY
CHAD WORKING OUT WHILE HIS MONOLOGUE RESUMES.
CHAD (CONTINUED) (VOICE OVER)
For example, peers constantly ask me question upon question concerning my natural mannerisms.
CUT TO:
EXT.PARK.DAY
KEVI (ON CAMERA)
CHAD, why yo hands always so sweaty? Everytime we dap up.
CHAD
I was born with 52 extra sweat glands KEVI. You gon ask me that question EVERYTIME you see me dawg?
KEVI (ON CAMERA)
Why do you break your words up into syllables?
CHAD (ON CAMERA)
Because I sometimes stutter so I speak slower than most so I do the opposite. President OBAMA also speaks slowly...it's a power move.
KEVI (ON CAMERA)
Oh ok, whatever.

INT.WORKOUT ROOM. DAY
CHAD (ON CAMERA)
Now that's just a sample. Not only do they ask extremely pointless questions, they always make a spectacle of the questions I ask. The biggest difference between their questions and mine is -- I ask questions pertaining to a situation. I'm asking for clarification; they ask me questions about me out of pure nosyness and boredom.
CUT TO:
EXT.PARK.DAY
CHAD (CONTINUED) (VOICE OVER)
Another example? They like playing a game called
KEVI PUSHES CHAD OUT OF FRAME.
KEVI (ON CAMERA)
Let me tell you want VIENTE-NUEVO did.

EXT.PARK.DAY
CHAD (ON CAMERA)
We're chilling in a trap-house right - me and MARTIN. The dope boys are sitting at the table playing dominoes. So I ask them if I can pull out the camera and record shots of them playing, stock footage. They said no because they have FEDERAL WARRANTS out for their prompt arrests. BOOM!!! CLARIFICATION. When we get back to MARTIN's crib, he's making a spectacle of the situation, as if there were one.
CUT TO:
INT.WORKOUT ROOM.DAY
CHAD (CONTINUED) (VOICE OVER)
You know the deal - altering my words and their words - intentionally making it seem worse than it really was. By this time I grasped the game they liked to play with good old CHAD.
CUT TO:
INT.LIVING ROOM.DAY
CHAD (CONTINUED) (ON CAMERA)
So I started playing my own twisted little game.
CUT TO:
EXT.PARK.DAY
CHAD (CONTINUED) (ON CAMERA)
It's called SNAPPIN'. CHAD SNAPPIN NOW? I just started snappin' on FEWS. You ask me a dumb a** question...you're headin' towards a smart a** answer HOMEBOI! Plain and simple. I'm tired of having 3 to 4 GROWN A** MEN trying to convince me, another GROWN A** MAN, I'm wrong for just being around. I don't do anything to harm anybody dawg.
CUT TO:
INT.LIVING ROOM.DAY
CHAD (CONTINUED) (ON CAMERA)
I barely even speak bra bra. People tell me I need to speak more even though I feel I talk too much. My words ain't superficial; therefore they are not free. The most powerful person rarely needs to verbalize. I keep my thoughts to myself, I shut up before I need to, I plan my next move silently while observing the normalcy surrounding me.
CUT TO:
EXT.PARK.DAY
CHAD (CONTINUED) (ON CAMERA)
They always attempt to make me feel bad for just being CHAD's MY DAD but I never ONCE attacked them for not being as comfortable with themselves as I am. No one's ever called me normal, nor will they ever be justified enough to do so. It ain't happening. I wasn't born to do what you do, which is why you'll never have what I'm not attached to.
CUT TO:
INT.WORKOUT ROOM.DAY
CHAD (CONTINUED) (VOICE OVER)
For example. My parents divorced when I was 7yrs old and living in Miami. When they called my 2 older brothers and myself into the DEN to alert us of the impending lifestyle change - we spoke our young minds. 14yr old Que says: "Dad, if you ain't gon be here, ain't nan other nigga coming up in here. Uh uh." 11yr old J says something similar. Now 7yr old CHAD says: "Now DAD, if you leave now, it'd be unfair to me because I never had the chance to do the same things JUSTIN and QUENTIN were able to do with you."
CUT TO:
EXT.PARK.DAY
CHAD (CONTINUED) (ON CAMERA)
You see what I mean now? At 7yrs old, I left my 30yr old father speechless. He never responded.
CUT TO:
INT.WORKOUT ROOM.DAY
CHAD (CONTINUED) (VOICE OVER)
The nature of my chosen path - filmmaking, screen writing, editing and promotional marketing - constantly leaves me isolated from society physically. Not to mention editing leaves me in an extremely fragile mental state because it's so, so demanding.
CUT TO:
EXT.PARK.DAY
CHAD (CONTINUED) (ON CAMERA)
This makes me want to interact with my age group. Then they make me feel so unnatural and unwanted IMMEDIATELY just for being VIENTE-NUEVO. If I stay around such a negative environment, I'ma end up fighting - I ain't dealing with this BS from these normal minded a** simpletons.
CUT TO:
INT.BEDROOM.DAY
CHAD (CONTINUED) (VOICE OVER)
So you know what I decided? To continue isolating myself from those who only want to see me in a fight and or miserable. I only have 5real friends and that number shall never surpass 10. If I ain't with them, I'm working with clients. If I'm not with clients, I'm trapped in my workplace.
CUT TO:
EXT.PARK.DAY
CHAD (CONTINUED) (ON CAMERA)
After all - I know my purpose, life's calling, the passion. I know what I'm here for - so not spending ALL MY TIME in this short, short life creating products to change the world for the better and provide stability for myself and family, would be asking for horrible, horrible trouble. So where do I go n these harsh now moments?
CUT TO:
INT.LIVING ROOM.DAY
CHAD (CONTINUED) (ON CAMERA)
PARAMORE LAND!!!

CHAD DANCING PEACEFULLY.
CHAD (CONTINUED) (VOICE OVER)
BOB put me on to PARAMORE and HAILEY WILLIAMS and I never left. I had just been fired from my part time job AND lost a friendship with a potential baby mother who turned out to be a HEARTLESS AND CONFUSED WHORE. I was too hurt during this time period but HAILEY WILLIAMS changed all that shawty. The pain instanly subsided to a play I could no longer perceive.

INT.TABLE.DAY
CHAD EATING CEREAL.
CHAD (CONTINUED) (ON CAMERA)
I don't really know what it is about their music man but DAMN. I love PARAMORE. HAILEY knows exactly how to reach and hold a note. Their music is pure therapy in VIENTE NUEVO LAND. And plus you never expect to see a brown skin superstar like CHIZZY, to bump MISGUIDED GHOSTS. But I do, and I love etttttt.
CUT TO:
EXT.PARK.DAY
CHAD (CONTINUED) (ON CAMERA)
So I reached my decision. I'ma continue doing me, doing what needs to be done to achieve the conceived and leave all the FREE RADICALS alone. I'ma keep writing, acting, filming, producing, editing, and marketing while those who antagonize me wonder why life is so harsh and boring. At some point in the now - I'll reach my 1st few checkpoints and oooh boy - those checkpoints are gonna elevate my standard of living so exponentially - it would be feverishly irrational for you to expect to see me in person ever again. Unless I'm getting paid homeboy. And you're broke, which is why CHAD's never present nowadays.
