00:00Hi, I'm Parker Finn, the writer-director of Smile, and what you're about to watch is a
00:06short film that I wrote and directed in 2019 called Laura Hasn't Slept.
00:11Laura Hasn't Slept premiered at South by Southwest in 2020, and that's where Paramount first
00:16saw it, and this was the origin of everything that became Smile.
00:19Hope you enjoy.
00:22Why are you here?
00:23What?
00:24What are you talking about?
00:27How did you happen to come to this office to discuss your dreams with me?
00:33Am I your therapist?
00:37Have we ever even met before?
00:43Tell me, Laura.
00:44Are you certain you're not dreaming right now?
00:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:19Please.
01:22No, no, no.
01:30No!
01:33You do seem awfully tired, Laura.
01:46I have just the thing to help you sleep.
01:49Stay away from me!
