Student Film
I wrote the screenplay for my roommate’s student film, and we had my best friend star in it. Without getting into too much of the details of the plot, I wrote a scene where the protagonist drives up to a McDonald’s Drive-thru speaker late at night and confess to the worker that he has cancer, then cancel the order and drive off.
The plan for filming it was to drive close to the speaker, but not close enough to activate the scale that would turn on the speaker and let the workers know that there was someone at the speaker.
Unfortunately, my friend drove too close and so when he had to go through his part of the dialogue, there was a McDonald’s employee on the other side listening. Not only that, but my roommate wanted to get this scene from multiple angles, so he had to do this two or three times. Story credit: Reddit / [deleted]
