#### Fit The First

* The Space between is a film made by the Church of Sunyata. Completely church funded and staffed.
* During week 5, the lead goes missing
* We open around a craft table
* David is a small part actor, hoping to break into the big time
* Blake is PR (the Blakinator)
* Amanda is a production assistant, and relatively new church member. Also an undercover journalist for one of the Hollywood rags, looking to confirm that Verity Harrow has relapsed on cocaine. Also working on an expose book.
* Dekreept Singh (producer, and so-so active member of the church) walks by and asks if anyone knows where Jared Woodward is
* The group grabs a set car and heads off
* In the distance are a number of police cruisers heading towards the lot
* The group drive by the cops, realising that they must have had a break in the cast for so many to show up
* They manage to raise Jared on the phone
* It sounds like he may be at the beach
* Amanda fast-talks them past Manny the front desk man at the swanky apartment building
* Message from Singh. The cops have found remains. He wants them to bring Jared
* When told the police are at the studio, Jared asks them to go back and burn the basalt cliff set
* David is now in full Gun Thundercop role and charges the door
* The door opens up to the rank smell of an apartment that hasn't been aired in a long time. Stale sweat, food, booze
* No sign of Jared as the group case the joint, not even in the editing suite
* The door handle to the editing suite is frosty cold
* There is no sound when Blake knocks on the door
* The Blakenator opens the door to the editing suite, which is dark, very dark, with twinkling (star) light
* There's a smell of salt / ozone. The darkness does not get pierced by the flashlight on Blake's phone
* David enters as well. Amanda "chooses Life"
* Blake and David appear to be on the Basalt Cliff set (or indeed where that set portrays).
* Jared is there on his knees, sobbing by a woman
* Jared is sobbing about "not wanting to be empty". The goal of the Church is to become "fully, totally, empty".
* The woman has nothing behind her eyes, just wheeling stars. Likewise her mouth. She's Yvette Summers.
* As they're starting to back off, the door slams shut in front of them
* Amanda re-opens the door and it's just the normal editing suite, with the three people inside - Jared curled up sobbing on the floor
* Blake drags Jared out of the room, David and Amanda take a look-see
* Going through the editing room they find cels of a naked woman having the skin peeled from her back by a curved knife
* The naked woman could be Verity.
* Meanwhile the movie screen is showing a still of a woman facing away. She turns and is that star-lit being and steps out of the screen.
* David runs back into the editing room and starts tearing the film apartment before being shouldered out by Blake
* Jared wants to go to HQ, not the set, but allows them to take him if they go to HQ straight afterwards
* They all exit through the basement, then into the production car
* On Jared's phone is first a message from Craig Steele - high up in the Church - "Get to HQ now". Then one from Verity Harrow. It reads "Getting my things"
* Amanda hacks Jared's phone. On the way home from filming the Yvette Summers / Verity scene Jared stops off in the middle of nowhere.
* At this point David is trying to get very drunk
* Amanda finds out all sorts of things on Jared's laptop, but keeps it quiet.
* Singh refused to let the cops search the place, so they left to go get warrants
* They speak with Tom, the Head of Security, who thinks they managed to keep everyone out
* David and Amanda spots someone with short blonde hair wearing a bright summer dress (aka Verity) head into Jared's trailer

### Fit The Second

* As they drive in, the group can see a woman in a yellow sun dress entering one of the trailers
* David and Amanda make a run for the caravan. Inside they see a woman with blank empty eyes holding a wedding dress
* She talks about being done, and being worried about being taken back to the retreat
* Spencer goes over and has a word with the cop who wants to find out how come a whole load of human viscera ended up in a sewer down the road
* The combined group now heads over to the set.
* Once there, Jared tries to run away from the group
* They discover some film showing a woman looking like Verity having the skin flayed from her back
* David threatens to leave.
* Blake and Spencer somewhat defuse the situation with an agreement to go to the retreat and see what's what

### Fit The Third

* We open with the group approaching the retreat where the screening will occur
* On their way there they've gathered various pieces of "equipment"
* Spencer's file on Steele is missing
* Blake schedules a "what ever happened to" press release about the team to go out in case he can't cancel it in time
* Amanda creates an in-case pack to go to somewhere of all the incriminating notes
* Dave goes in for an emptying session, along with Amanda
* Spencer goes looking around Craig Steel's private office
* He idly peruses the various books in the office
* Blake heads up to the screening room
* Blake forces the door to the projection room
* Blake finds where single frames have been spliced into the film
* Blake swaps the film for an older set of reels, and heads out carrying the doctored film
* David and Steele heads into the emptying suite as Amanda heads into another spa room
* Steele is asking David about Verity and when she went missing
* As Steele is speaking David notices that Steele definitively has false teeth and there is something wrong with his mouth
* Having agreed to go through the emptying, David is taken into an operating theater with a waiting surgery.
* David screams and tries to run out past Steele who is has no tounge, nor any eyes.
* David tries to run away but is caught by a guard and he is tied down on the table, as he drops his recorder
* David is flayed alive.
* Amanda can hear it all, and the sound of the oceans. She realizes she needs to get out pronto
* Amanda "chooses life"
* Amanda's comeback against the guard she evades will be in the eventual book.
* Mandy (the receptionist) takes a shot at Amanda but misses
* Blake realises that he was seen on the cameras doing the film stuff, when he walks into the security guard
* Blake tries to break out and run away
* Everyone is trying to escape
* Spencer tries to cover for the rest of the team, but fails initially
* Spencer gets into the large SUV and runs for the gate
* The guard at the gate criticals the driver (Spencer)
* The vehicle hits the gate
* Amanda realises as they hit the gate that she's not restrained as she's ejected, but she remains concious
* Blake gets out of the wreck, heading for a Red Roof Inn. He goes through the film frame by frame, decaying as he goes
* Amanda gets scooped up and taken to an operating theater for "emptying".
* The next summer a new film is being done by David, just wearing sunglasses.
