It opens on a closed briefcase. One click and the lid lifts, the screen floods yellow and the reels snap into their impossible order.

## Five reels, your order

The index is a private projection board of five chapters, each tile a small poster. There is a sermon wall of eight lines, a five-question fan trial that unlocks easter eggs, and a switch that puts the reels back in story order.

## Made by hand

Every frame is hand-made CSS art, with no film footage. It is a fan tribute, not affiliated with the studio.
