...playing many attention-grabbing cinematic tricks, so good acting is crucial here. Fortunately, all three principals give rounded, believable performances even while improvising much of the dialogue. Heather (Heather Donahue) plays the director and narrator of the documentary.

With that, the host gave a shrug to the camera, and with a charming glow in his eyes, returned to the scripted show...
...fame and fortune seemingly behind me, what do I do? Perhaps it's a good time to begin the denial stage. Maybe those really weren't my fifteen minutes after all, and they'll come at another time, in another place, maybe with me in front of the camera, and not working what goes through it. Maybe, maybe...
