"director of "In the Ashes, We Forget""
The panel of four romantic comedy directors introduces themselves and their latest films, establishing a suspiciously similar theme of amnesia across all their projects.
"I'm Diego Blues and I directed and created the movie Failed to Remember."
"Hi, my name is Wim Winigo and I made the romantic comedy, Who Do I Love?"
"Hi, I'm Holly McPherson and I made the movie In the Ashes We Forget."
The directors detail their plots, revealing that every single movie involves a protagonist getting hit on the head and forgetting their love interest, with release dates only days apart.
"This is all the same fucking movie, right?"
"Showing the world that the love of your life is the love of your life, even if you don't remember your life."
"She wakes up from the sedative and her husband Mind is gone."
To defend their originality, the directors point to minor differences like setting (Seattle vs. Portland) and specific neurological conditions of their leads.
"My lead is dyslexic and none of your leads are."
"My lead has dysgraphia, which is dyslexia for numbers."
"My lead has synesthesia, meaning he can sort of hear colors and see sounds."
The panel attempts to prove they didn't steal from each other by tracing their origins, only to realize they all had their 'original' ideas in October 2016 during the same cultural events.
"I tell all the young screenwriters this, if you have a destructive thought, don't act on it, write it."
"Halloween is only ever in October."
"That Halloween I also dressed as Monica Lewinsky actually."
Four directors introduce their latest romantic comedies, only to realize every single one follows the exact same plot of a woman getting hit in the head and forgetting her life.
"I directed and created the movie Failed to Remember."
"My movie's a little different. Our lead is a dyslexic girl."
"This is all the same movie, right?"
The directors argue over whose 'disgusting best friend' character is the most unique, ranging from a woman who reeeks by choice to one with Cheetos in her butt crack.
"She's smelly. She's very smelly."
"Oh, there's Cheetos in my freaking butt crack."
"She's disgusting because she's horny."
The group realizes they all attended the same T-Pain concert in 2017 where the singer suffered a head injury, inspiring all four of them to write amnesia rom-coms simultaneously.
"Did T-Pain get hit by a light over the head?"
"He woke up and he was still mic'd and he said, I don't know who I am."
"That was the night I knew I was going to write a rom-com."
Diego Blues explains that his film 'Failed to Remember' was inspired by witnessing a woman get knocked unconscious by a beer mug during a bar crawl in October 2016.
"I watched this woman just get hit in the back of the head with a beer, like a mug, a glass mug, and she fell down out cold."
"The ambulance came and the last thing I remember somebody asking her was like, who's the president? And no, she couldn't remember."
