On Thanksgiving Day, this junior editor was told to run over to this foreign born A+ list mostly movie director who is a multiple Oscar winner/nominee. Apparently, he was supposed to pick up a few things and be on his way. The director, who was enjoying Thanksgiving with his family told the editor where the box of stuff was, and went back to his dinner. The editor grabbed the box and went back to the office.
The following Monday, the editor arrived to the office and everyone was in a panic because the director was looking for a missing memory card. The editor was questioned for almost 20 minutes whether he knew where it was or if it had been in the box or seen it. Had the editor taken it? If he would return it, nothing would happen, the director just wanted it back. The editor hadn't taken it. He kept asking why it was so important and was told it was thoughts the director had for his next movie. Story ideas, and just pages of notes and visuals. This was a huge panic over the memory card. Literally no work got done that day as people searched the office and the director's home. Once again, the editor was questioned, this time with the director there. Had he gone into any other rooms in the house? Had he been digging around? What did he do after he left the director's house? Would he be willing to let them look through his laptop and other computers? Once again, he was also told he could just give it back and no harm no foul.
Two days later, and it still had not been found. Our editor was fired and two other people who the director had been wanting to fire and this seemed like a good time with some type of cause. One of those two people who was fired went and had drinks with the editor to share the loss together. During the course of the night, the fired person said he had the memory card. It had been his job on Thanksgiving to go through everything and at the bottom of the box was the memory card. Thinking it was another thing he was supposed to be looking at, he inserted it into the computer. It was filled with video after video. None of them were longer than about twenty seconds and most were five or six. Every single one was spying on women. Many upskirt videos or an actress changing her top. All taken with hidden cameras, but from the looks of them, they were taken with cameras on the person of whoever took the shot. Most of the videos you were unable to identify who the subject was, but there were dozens where you could, including at award shows and on sets where you see a quick glimpse of a face. When he saw what it was, he ejected it from the computer and panicked. What if they thought he stole it or something. What if he said something. He took it with him that night when he left. Over the weekend he decided he would sneak in on Monday and put it in the box. By the time he got there though, the place was filled with people looking. So, he kept it. He doesn't know what he is going to do with it.
