well, who's this bad guy? How about he's in jail? I'd read a story, this crazy story about a guy who was in jail in Mexico and he was running his drug business from the jail as protection. He could walk out at any time, but it was to have the cops be his enforcers, basically. So introduce that guy. He's in jail making phone calls and someone puts a hit on him. So we have action right away.

There's a hit on him. He kills those guys because it's his operation. He's not in jail. All the cops are working for him. And he tells that guy on the phone, the main bad guy, I'm going to come to town. I'm going to kill all your guys and I'm going to come kill you. So then he gets in his truck and you see them bring him a guitar case full of weapons. He passes the mariachi on the way to town.

And now it's his story. The baton gets turned to mariachi. Mariachi is doing a voiceover. It's easy to shoot. We can do the voice later. You don't have to do sync sound. There was even a scene when he walks into town where we saw these coconuts, a guy cutting coconuts. And we go, oh, let's go film over there. So we filmed the guy giving him a coconut with a straw in it.

And he walks out and went, shit, man, you forgot to pay the guy. Well, let's shoot that. No, there's one take. I'll just put in the voiceover that they give away free coconuts in this town. And for years, people in other countries would go, they really give away free coconuts? No, it's because we forgot to show in pain. You know, little happy accidents.

So now, look, you're already building a movie. So it's like, now he goes in the bar. Now he's mixed up. And the bad guy says, find the guy with a guitar case full of weapons. Then he goes and meets the girl. So you just start, your movie, visually you can start seeing your movie. And I've used this for business things. I've used this for ideas, for manifesting stuff. It's brilliant.

Are you doing this alone usually? Yeah, it's coming and it comes so fast. It's like free association. Maybe I have Danny. Oh, I know I want his hand shot. He's going to get his hand shot because he's a musician and those ballads are always really tragic. So the girl has to die. The girl has to die because if it's going to be a tragic song for his songbook, each movie should be like a tragedy.

That's going to be over here. You know, now you got the ending. And then your brain starts filling in the rest because you're asking yourself these prompt questions that you already have answers for from a past life, from a vision you had that you don't even know are there. This prompts it.

You just start writing in the ones you do know. Like, okay, I know at some point she's going to betray him. Or he's going to think she does. She betrays him. Okay, that's in the middle somewhere. The other ones will come.
