Ok… The main character was Ethan Daley (Cats boyfriend from Euphoria). And he must have really really wronged Dacre Montgomery (Billy from Stranger Things) by sleeping with his girlfriend or something. These two actors were playing character for a show that was filming and my pov was in Ethan Daley. So we’re in this massive fancy hotel and Dacre pulls out a gun ready to shoot me (which is Ethan) and then he starts chasing me through this hotel. I don’t see any film crew or cameras it was almost as if it became real and I was actually running for my life. It was also almost like Dacre really wanted to kill me. People recognize me as students or friends through my chase and are trying to help me, but Dacre always seems a couple steps behind with a menacing look on his face. He keep putting his gun up and I’m thinking that that will be the time I’m shot, but he doesn’t shoot. Our chase finally ends up in this concert hall in the hotel. The band playing is really indie rock and has bubble and smoke machines going so it’s hard to see once they start playing. I find a diagonal set between two different people hoping that Dacre won’t get a clear shot of me. I (Ethan) is FREAKING out. It was so anxiety building and I was scared because I was being chased to my death but also I knew it was destined to happen because it has to for the show. But, I wasn’t realizing it was a show. Everyone had these weird glow sticks and they’re waving them and I keep thinking they’re guns. I’m constantly clutching on to the man beside me who thinks I’m being quirky and nervous for my first concert or something. And then I look onstage and Dacre is up there operating on the the bubble machine guns. He waves it across the audience until it gets to me and he’s staring at me the whole time and he stops right at me (Ethan). I know that this has the be when I die and for some reason I knew I would die from being shot in the neck. I grab the guy next to me and pull him to cover me and my neck while I’m screaming with 100% total fear. Im sweating, shaking, and crying barely able to stand up. I tell stop… cut and run to the corner. Everyone stares and Dacre falls out of his character worried about me (Ethan). I suddenly can see the whole sound crew and the artificial lights and cameras. The director runs over and consoles and asks what’s wrong. I (Ethan) was having a panic attack and was trying to explain how real and anxiety filled that felt. It didn’t feel like a show and felt like it was really happening. I’m trying to regain my composure and am watching the extras (especially the one I was grabbing) stare and whisper. Dacre is trying to talk to me but I can’t hear him. It was scary. Then my alarm went off. Idk y this was for black mirror cause there wasn’t any technology element but.
