to you soon. Hi, I'm Alex Goldman. This is Hyperfixed. On the show, listeners write in with their problems big and small, and I solve them. Or at least I try. And if I don't, I at least give a good reason why I can't. This week, Parker's obsessed with this movie, but she cannot find it anywhere. Okay, so you know this show's about solving problems and answering questions, and if you she cannot find it anywhere. Okay, so you know the show's about solving problems and answering questions, and if you didn't know that, it's really time for you to catch up.

I just explained it about five seconds ago. But there's actually a second question undergirding every episode of the show, and it's a question that we ask of the people who write in with problems. And often, it's as important as the question they ask us. And the question is, why do you want to know? Why do you care about the origins of this weird old button you found? Or how many grams there are in an American cup of butter? Sometimes our question askers know the answer instantly. Like, it's in their bones. They just

immediately know why it's important. And sometimes it's as elusive as the question they wrote in with. And sometimes we just kind of have to dig around before we find a reason that rings true. But never have we had to do less digging than with this week's listener, Parker. I love conversations and connections more than anything else in the world. Parker works in LA and she's an immersive theatre creator. I look at every new person as a friend I haven't made yet, which sounds incredibly cheesy, but it is true and it's how I move through the world. And immersive theatre is a phenomenal way to take something that's usually extremely transactional performance

and make it even closer and even more intimate than something like theater normally is. Wow, dude, you're outgoing on a level that like, I can't, I mean, I interview people for a living and when my microphone's not off, I'm just like, I can't, I have a very hard time with people. So I'm like truly impressed by your ability to like, engage with the world in a way

that I can't possibly do it. Thank you. I'm an extroverted heart. Parker cares about people in the way that some folks care about sports teams. It's visceral. It's devotional. And when it's combined with a problem, it can be a bit obsessive, but we'll get to that in a minute. There is a movie that I would really like to watch that seems to not exist. It for sure was made. It was for available for purchase on Amazon Prime for a period of time. And now it seems to have disappeared into the ether on a level of lost media. Lost media is exactly what it sounds like.

Movies, TV shows, news broadcasts, music, things that were once publicly available, but for any number of possible reasons are now just gone. The thing is, a lot of times, the media that people are looking for isn't gone gone. It's just missing. And if you ask the right person or you dig far enough, you can still find what you're looking for eventually. But in Parker's case, that search had not been particularly fruitful.

None of the people that I've asked across a bunch of different genres of research have been able to find it for me or find much information about it. Can you tell me what this movie is? So the name of this movie is I'm Obsessed with You, but You've Got to Leave Me Alone, which is perhaps the most ironic title for a movie that I am obsessed with, but can't seem to find ever. Okay, so let me pause to say that until Parker sent in this question,

I had never heard of this movie. And when I Googled it, it seemed like only about a handful of people have ever seen it. And before you start thinking this is going to be a story about the coolest movie you've never heard of, pump the brakes for a second, because this does not sound like it's going to be that movie. I'm obsessed with you, but you've got to leave me alone. It's a 2014 indie movie about a college improv troop who has some kind of experience. Then according to the logline, they are, quote, forced to confront the group's friendship and future. The movie is directed by someone I've never heard of. It's

also written by someone I've never heard of. And I recognize some of the faces in the cast, but there's only one that I can really identify by name. What is it about this particular movie that is so interesting to you? Like, it doesn't sound like anybody's, I've certainly never heard of it. It certainly doesn't seem like it has any kind of cult following. I googled it and could barely find any people who had seen it. I've seen a couple reviews of it. But how did you, like, how did you come across it? And why is it such a particular obsession of yours? So from about 2019 to 2023, I was aware of a problem in the world, a very minor problem in the world that was specific to me particularly.

So this particular problem, the problem that gave birth to the problem that I am now trying to solve, it starts with a couple of TV actors. Rachel Brosnahan, who you may know was the Emmy-winning star of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and is going to be Lois Lane in the upcoming Superman movie, and Jason Ralph, who starred in the SyFy Channel original series The Magicians. Parker loves these two actors. And these two actors love each other. In 2019, Rachel confirmed that they'd gotten married. And in 2022, when Jason showed up on Rachel's show, Parker, who cares more about connection than anything else in the world,

was eager to see their connection. But they never shared a scene together. And looking back at their IMDB pages, Parker discovered that this wasn't the first time this had happened. Rachel Brosnahan and Jason Ralph had actually been on four of the same TV shows. But according to Parker... Never even for a split second were the two of them on screen together.

So when Parker discovers that the couple first met on this very little indie movie called I'm Obsessed With You But You Gotta Leave Me Alone, she decides she has to see this movie. As you already know, Parker hasn't been able to find it anywhere. Now I should say the couple did eventually share some scenes in the fifth and final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, but by the time that happened, Parker was already in way too deep. Once I figured out that there was this movie out there, I became obsessed with it. I have this sort of like obsessive personality when there is a question that I dig my fingers into.

Okay, so what did you do? Like tell me some of the ways that you tried to locate this movie. I explored a couple different avenues. First, Parker started by checking all the different streaming services. When she couldn't find anything on the US streamers, she turned to her international friends. Sometimes it's available and you know I've got a friend in New Zealand I asked her to check on some streaming services. When nothing turned up there, she went to her local physical media expert. I have a good friend of mine who deals with all sorts of CDs and DVDs and VHS tapes, and I asked him to look at his collection and reach out to other collectors that he knows he

couldn't find it. So she turned to the public library system to see if it was on Hoopla or Canopy. Hypothetically, the Seattle Public Library has a copy, but none of the Seattle Public Library Public Library librarians I reached out but none of the Seattle Public Library librarians I reached out to could find it or had access to it or anything like that. And at this point, solidly out of legal options, Parker reaches out to the torrenters. Now, if a piece of media has ever been available for purchase on the internet, generally speaking, a seasoned torrentor will be able to find you a copy of it. Except in this case. The only thing they were able to find was some small segment of the

movie that had been filmed on a smartphone. In the interest of being thorough, I checked all the torrenting sites I knew of, and I still came up empty. It feels like this movie just blinked out of existence. And Parker isn't the only one who's noticed. When prepping for our interview, we found multiple Reddit threads filled with people asking for help locating the movie.

There was one person who said they found a website that would ship a DVD of it from Pakistan, but hyperfixed producer Amore Yates looked into that and it turned out to be a scam. And the real kicker here for me is that I talked to someone who emailed the writer. Mm. And the writer of this movie did not know where to acquire a copy of this movie.

Wow. All right. So what is a solution? Is it only being able to see the movie? The best solution, of course, is getting a copy of the movie, getting to see this movie. I think another satisfactory solution would be whoever's in charge of this explaining to me why I can't see this movie. If there is a reason, even if the reason is like a boring legal rights reason, that's fine.

See, that to me is the more interesting part, Is that like, I don't know how distribution works and royalties work and who's owed what based on who produced what, but it does seem wild that it's not a thing we can just easily find. Right. It seems like they would be making more money by having this movie for sale than by not having this movie for sale. I will pay to watch this movie. I don't need it torrented.

I will rent it on whatever streaming service. Take my money, please. I would like to pay you for this product that you've created. Allow me to do so. I just need someone to lay out for me how we got to where we are. And if the end of how we got to where we are ends with me watching this movie, incredible. And if it doesn't, well, then I guess we've all had, you know, movie rights education time with Parker. You know what would be so funny is if I watched this whole movie and they still don't share a scene in this movie. That would be the most incredible comedic tick at the end of this story. I'm so confident they do share a scene, but I have no basis for this confidence. Yeah. What do you base that on? Why are you confident?

Vibes. That is very funny, though, the idea that you would spend all of this time and enlist professional help only to find out that it does not exist. I love to make something else, my problem somebody else's problem. Well, you're doing a bang up job. I really appreciate it. Thank you. All right, we will get to work on this and wish us luck. We'll, uh, we'll be in touch.

The issue of missing media is actually like really near and dear to my heart because even though I'm putting out an episode of the show a week, I put everything into it. You know what I mean? And so hearing that there are things that people sunk days or months or even years of their lives into that no one has ever seen, I want to like find those and bring them out into the light for everyone to see. For the last couple decades, I have been doggedly following the story of the day the clown cried, Jerry Lewis's lost Holocaust clown movie, which he decided after he finished it he didn't want anyone to see. And then there's the missing episodes of Doctor Who, 97 of

them to be exact, which went missing on the day the BBC decided that they were so unimportant they literally taped over the masters of the show. So if you happen to have copies of these please hit me up because I'd love to stop having such strong feelings about this. Anyway, when I think about these and other missing movies and TV shows I'm interested in seeing, they all came out during a time when we didn't totally understand the value

of these kinds of cultural artifacts. One of the things that makes Parker's missing movie so mysterious to me is that it came out 10 years ago, solidly within the digital filmmaking era. And I just couldn't think of a reason why something that recent would go missing. So I reached out to a couple of experts on the subject of missing movies. We cannot tell you how often the problem is that you think you cleared that music for in perpetuity, but did you? Or did you only clear it for ten years?

This is Amy Heller. She, along with her husband, Dennis Doros, are the co-founders of Missing Movies, a non-profit organization founded on the belief that the entirety of cinema history should be available to all. The idea for the project started about five years ago, in the early days of the pandemic. The Directors Guild of America was doing a virtual panel with a group of filmmakers who recently realized they couldn't find their own films. And when Amy mentioned the names of the people on the panel, I was shocked to learn that these were not old-timey under-the-radar directors. It's crazy to me one of the names that you said it was Mary Heron because I

think of her as being a relatively popular filmmaker. I mean she made famously I think American Psycho, Notorious Betty Page, I Shot Andy Warhol. What of her movies was missing? Do you know? I Shot Andy Warhol. Really? It's still missing. As long as we've known her, she's been working on trying to get the rights and getting it back in distribution.

But this is not unusual. Alison Anders has films that are out of distribution. Nancy Savoca had films. John Sayles has many films that have been unavailable. It turns out that while most of the cinema-loving dummies like me were focusing on finding missing movies from the 50s, 60s, and 70s, a whole new generation of movies has started to go missing. Here's Dennis.

We have discovered that the films that we grew up from the 80s and 90s and even today, films are getting lost. And this isn't just happening because the physical materials are being lost or damaged. Dennis and Amy told us that these days, the main reason that movies are getting lost has to do with rights, contracts, and other legal issues. A lot of these films, the rights have expired and no one knows who owns the rights. Also production companies. Independent films were frequently made by small temporary LLCs that disbanded after the production. So even to find out who owns rights is sometimes very difficult.

People don't know who owns the music rights to the film anymore. Sometimes there's SAG agreements that you have to be aware of. And then you're talking about contracts that get lost. And then you also have to can stop and think about the underlying rights. So there's a whole confluence of existential problems that have been created that films are getting lost every day. The radical thing here isn't that this is happening but that so many contemporary filmmakers didn't realize it was happening. And by the time they did realize it, if they ever did, they had no idea how to get their

movie back. And this is why Amy and Dennis rallied a group of their colleagues from across the film landscape to form Missing Movies. To tell not only the directors from 30 years ago, you need to find out where your rights and materials are, but to all the directors making films today, you are making a film this is what you need to know to preserve your film, know where your rights are, and to keep track of it for the next 50 years. All of this stuff was thoroughly blowing my mind, but I wasn't sure if any of it was applicable to Parker's problem. Remember,

I'm Obsessed With You came out in 2014, and Parker started searching for it sometime around 2021. It just didn't seem like enough time had lapsed for this particular missing movie to be a product of lapsed rights. There had to be something else going on. So I told Amy and Dennis everything I'd learned about this movie. I told them it was made by first-time filmmakers, working with actors who were unknown at the time it was made, and that aside from some film festivals, it didn't appear that this movie had ever gotten a theatrical release.

The issue of movies that don't get released is one that is close to our hearts because you know what kind of movies don't get released? Bad movies don't get released. Movies that may be somewhat amateurish, but amateurish in a way that's really interesting, or that may be from a community that doesn't have access to the same kind of production standards that we're used to in Hollywood. When we first started working on films from the 70s and 80s, as a film person, I was sometimes like, it's kind of awkward. That's kind of an awkward shot, or that actor is maybe not the greatest actor

who ever lived, but there's more to a film than just one level of, you know, polish. And some of these films have now become really important in inspiring a next generation of filmmakers. The thing is that if nobody notices these movies right out of the gate, if they don't have a bankable name, or they don't make a splash at a film festival, they can and do fall into oblivion,

especially independent movies and especially now because there's just so much out there. And because that experience can be so demoralizing, sometimes the filmmakers will pull the movie off the internet. They'll put it in a hard drive, push it to the back of the closet. And because a lot of filmmakers don't understand the mechanics of proper preservation, that's where the movies die. We'll talk to filmmakers and they'll say,

you know, I think the negative is in my mother's storage unit in Hoboken. I mean, literally. Or, I think it's under the bed in my kid's room. I mean, for independent filmmakers, especially filmmakers who are making short films, documentary films, and it's okay if you keep your 16 millimeter, if you keep your A, B rolls. It may be fine. I mean, they may not, but they may be fine. But your digital hard drive will not be fine in 15 years. We've all had hard drives Phil, have we not? Everybody knows that everybody's lost files, right? I mean that happens to every

human being who says I thought I had downloaded that and I can't find it now. This happens to filmmakers too. Hard drives are only reliable for about five years. So if that's the way you're storing your movie, you need to be migrating it continuously, which can be a pain in the ass and it can be expensive. Dennis was even the president of an organization called the Association of Moving Image Archivists, or AMIA for short, which connects filmmakers to people who can help them preserve their movies. And it's only been in the last 15, 20 years where we've been reaching out to directors

and producers and tell them, we exist, we have services, we have information, you need to know this. And one of the great things about EMEA is that you don't have to be an archive to be a member. Anyone can be a member of EMEA and can go to the conference or can be on the listserv and ask any kind of question, and the community really supports conversations that really lead to more actions, more activity. It still takes some work, but as Nancy and Dennis like to remind people, so did making

the movie itself. And just because the thing you made wasn't noticed in its time, doesn't mean that it'll always be that way. I'll tell you the basic motivation. Nancy Savoca says this, you need to have self worth that you value yourself and your work to be preserved. Don't care what the critics say, they can love it, they can hate it, whatever, but you need to have self worth and give value to to your work and that it needs preservation. And I'll say one other thing that I think that Nancy also talks about, which is what

I thought you were going to say, is that when a film is lost, not only is the work of the filmmaker lost, but the actors, the set dressers, the editors, the cinematographer, the costumers, everybody's work is lost. So it's really important to think that this is, when you're doing this, you're not just preserving it to preserve it like an old tourist way, but to preserve like a community of effort. So if we wanna make sure that movies stop going missing,

all we have to do apparently is make sure that all filmmakers are armed with the knowledge of how to preserve their movies. And, well, self-esteem. So, please spread the word. It's not difficult, it's just you have to be aware that you want this to survive. Coming out of our interview with Amy and Dennis, we still have no idea why this particular movie went missing. But if it turns out to be some kind of contract situation or legal squabble that needs untangling, our friends at Missing Movies volunteer to help us untangle it.

So with that in mind, we reached out to Genevieve Adams, the writer-producer of I'm Obsessed with You, but You've Got to Leave Me Alone. We sent an email to her manager explaining that Hyperfixed was named the number four best podcast of 2024 by Time Magazine. And that we wanted to talk to Genevieve about her movie. And within minutes, they put us in touch. After the break, we find out how and why this movie went missing. You must remember this as the podcast dedicated to stories from the secret and forgotten histories of 20th century Hollywood.

Stories of sex, murder, institutional racism, bad men, sad women, fascist gossip colonists, and much more. Our new season is called The Old Man is Still Alive, and it's about directors like Alfred Hitchcock and John Ford who got started in the silent era, but we're still making movies in the psychedelic 60s. Follow and listen to You Must Remember This on the free Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the show. So before the break, Parker told us about a movie that came out

in 2014. And even though it features a bona fide Hollywood movie star in an early performance, it now seems to only exist as an echo on the internet. It's not on any streaming services, it's unavailable for purchase, and Parker is far from the only person looking for it. So when we finally sat down with the film's writer, producer, and star Genevieve Adams, we shared with her some people screaming into the internet void in the hopes that they could find this film. Hold on a second, I'm going to share a link with you in the Zoom chat. Give me just a second.

I like, I don't use social media. Like I know, I mean, I have an Instagram, but I like never use it. I never use, so I don't know anything that's going on on the internet. So if you go to the chat at the bottom, there's a link right there for, uh, for a Reddit called Movie Finder. I'm wondering if you could read the top here for me. This is hilarious. Okay. So I'm a huge Rachel Brosnahan fan. I'm wondering if you could read the top here for me. This is hilarious. Okay, so I'm a huge Rachel Brosnahan fan. I've set out to watch all of her movies as I'm in my umpteenth quarter life crisis.

Anyway, I contacted the writer of the film, but she doesn't know why there isn't a way to watch it. This is two years ago, okay. The director who the writer suggested I contact never returned my message. I feel like I've tried everything and cannot find a way to watch it. Reddit, please do your magic and help me.

Here it's been damn near six months of trying to no avail. Wow, that's a lot of commitment. Despite the fact that we found dozens of posts from people who are searching for this movie, Genevieve wasn't aware that there was any real demand for it. The movie was pulled off the internet several years ago, and the story of how and why that came to be

went more or less the way that Amy and Dennis imagined it might go. I was sort of fresh out of college, and I didn't go to film school. I had mainly been educated in theater, and I had no clue what I was doing. Nevertheless, Genevieve poured herself into the making of this movie. It was based on this very pivotal time in her life when she felt more awake and inspired than she'd ever been before. The characters were based on her friends. And when she tells stories about the production of this thing, it sounds like it ended up

being a really madcap, magical experience. I think my favorite story she told me was the one about the crew member who got electrocuted. We had a lovely grip who was standing in the pond because we had to like light the pond with these lanterns and he got electrocuted. Luckily he's fine. Oh, but I remember he was like in shock and Duccio carries him into the house. Duccio was our first AD who has since worked on the bear and he's a hilarious little Italian man who is just a character in and of himself and a brilliant person

But anyways like we come in and he's a frying hot dogs to make for this guy who just got electrocuted And he was like in Italy we give the person a hot dog and then it stops the electrocution. We were like what? Weird things have happened Obviously, I hadn't seen the movie at this time, but the way Genevieve talked about it, it made me really want to. In addition to being the place where Rachel Brosnahan and Jason Ralph first met, according to Genevieve, I'm Obsessed With You was also the first production to cast Rachel in a comedic role, which is incredible when you think about the fact that she is now considered one of the greatest comedic actresses in television. Me and Genevieve talked about this movie for more than an hour,

and it seemed like she was still really proud of this thing she made. It also seemed like she was still sad about the fact that when she sent it out into the world, it didn't have the impact she hoped it would have. I'm obsessed with you, but you've got to leave me alone. Premiered at the Sonoma Film Festival, and it played at a festival in Poland.

And it got pretty good reviews, just not from any major outlets. And ultimately, the movie didn't sell. So Genevieve submitted the movie to an aggregator, which works like the middleman between filmmakers and streamers. FilmBuff, who's a digital aggregator, picked it up and put it on their platform. And so it was on Amazon, it was on iTunes.

It did get distributed, which was great. The problem is that once the movie got posted to those streamers, nobody really watched it because nobody really knew it existed. And this is the first part of the answer to Parker's question about why the movie isn't online. You see, in the deal that Genevieve made with the aggregator, all they'd promised to do is get the movie out in the world,

because that's what aggregators do. Figuring out how to drive traffic to the movie, that job fell back on the production team, and they'd run out of money. At that point, we had nothing left. Like, a lot of films have double the budget for publicity, and we literally had nothing. So without, you know, directing traffic to the the phone or having a really splashy festival premiere with all the actors there you couldn't really make it.

Is it all ask you how long the movie was up on amazon but you didn't remember for sure. She said she thinks it came down in twenty twenty one when her contract with the aggregator expired. And then she chose not to even try and get it back up. It just didn't make sense anymore. I was like, oh, you know, we're not we're not actively trying to the movies kind of it's over, you know. She told me the movie wasn't gone, gone. You know what I mean? She still had it on a hard drive in her closet.

But she also said she didn't think anybody would miss it if they took it down. I couldn't help but think about my conversation with Dennis and Amy about how one of the reasons these movies go missing is simply because the filmmakers become convinced that they're not worth preserving. So I felt compelled to tell her,

yeah, I gotta say, it's not over. People wanna know about it. That's really, really like, if you told me that, you know, a few years ago, I would've been like, what are you talking about? If you go on like Reddit, there are places that are where people are like, has anybody seen this movie?

Does anyone know how to see this movie? Like, I really wanna watch it. Really? Yeah, there are a lot of people being like, how do I see this? All right, well put it up. Look at me over here. Problem solver, motivational coach. I'm the complete package.

I mean, I want them to watch the movie. Yeah. So I'll try to get it out there. I guess this is a, a really funny, lovely reminder of something that, you know, meant a lot to me at the time. And I would be happy to share. you know, meant a lot to me at the time and I would be happy to share. When we said goodbye to Genevieve, I really wanted to believe that this movie was going to find its way back into the world. But I also had my doubts. Because while I may not know anything

about filmmaking, I do know about hard drives. And when Genevieve said, this movie isn't missing, it's on a hard drive in my closet somewhere, all I could think was, God, I hope it hasn't been there for the last 10 years. ["The Last Supper"] Over the next several weeks, we waited to hear from Genevieve. And with every week that passed, I became more nervous about the condition of the movie.

I wondered if we were too late, if Genevieve had tried submitting the movie and discovered her footage had been corrupted. We emailed her from time to time to check on the status of things and for a while it was hard to understand the status of things. At one point she told us she submitted the film to Tubi, but the requirements were more extensive than she thought they'd be, so she asked an editor to help her. And then I had to check out for a bit because the whole thing was getting too stressful. And then finally, just a few weeks ago,

we got an email from Genevieve with a status update that we could pass along to Parker. When we connected back with Genevieve to see what was going on with the film, she was like, actually, I've got some licensing offers. You just have to wait. And then we were like, okay let's wait and wait and wait and

Our thought was like this is definitely not gonna come out until right before Superman comes out like this summer sometime It was really really stressful But then we got this link and I wanted to send you this link. I'm sending it in the chat. I'm wondering if you can take a look at it. I will take a look at it. Oh my god! It's just up on Amazon! I can't believe that at the end of this Amazon is the good guy. I can't believe that at the end of this Amazon is the good guy.

Oh my God. Not only can you rent this now on Amazon for $3, you can own it if you want. When, when did this appear? Like a couple days ago. I was like, they wouldn't have emailed me unless there was some big thing that happened. like they wouldn't have emailed me unless there was some big thing that happened. This is huge! Listen, Genevieve told us she never would have done any of this submission if you hadn't reached out. And we wouldn't have contacted her if you hadn't submitted the problem. So this movie exists in the world. It is available again, pretty much solely because of your efforts. Damn. As somebody who has an appreciation for the work that lost media people do, no

understanding but a deep appreciation, this feels really good on a number of levels. Do you feel like we solved your problem? Oh, a hundred thousand percent. You have solved my problem completely. This movie is available. I could click watch right now if I had time. I am so happy that you feel this way. We have one more request of you, if you don't mind. Yeah, absolutely. Can we get like a voice memo from you when you are either starting or ending the movie? Just so we can hear you in the process.

Instict you enjoying this film 100%. I would absolutely send that to you. Awesome. I am so glad. Thank you guys so much. Seriously, you guys have worked so much harder on this than I ever could have and what seems like a kind of a silly request. But a real problem that clearly other people were having is now very gratefully solved. So thank you guys so much. I am unbelievably excited to watch this movie. Awesome. We're unbelievably excited for you to see it. So Congratulations. We did it. We're the best. I defy you to find a person out there who says this is not a roll of consistency.

It's Saturday afternoon. I have just finished watching. I'm obsessed with you, but you've gotta leave me alone, which is a wild thing to get to say after five years of waiting to watch this movie. I laughed out loud multiple times. I just had such a great time watching it. I have a hard time imagining that either Rachel or Jason is really anything like those characters in regular life, but definitely getting to see them on screen together was exciting.

Like knowing that this is where it started and that they got married is really cool. I think they're both really wonderful actors and I hope that they both go on to phenomenal careers working with each other. If they like that, I don't know, maybe it's terrible to work with your spouse. Maybe they're like, oh God, please stop casting us the things together. Cause it sucks. I can't imagine that's true, but I don't know them.

But yeah, I'll never get tired of seeing them get to share a screen. Okay. That was brain dumpy. Thanks guys!
