Format: Fake Documentary / Mockumentary
When viral YouTube comedian Scott Sora is found dead after years of filming increasingly dangerous stunts, four people close to him try to piece together what happened—but the more they investigate, the less certain they become that he's actually dead.
Scott Sora was a rising YouTube Shorts star who built his fame on absurd, death-defying stunts—eating hamburgers on roller coasters, falling off ladders, being chased by dogs while dressed as a hot dog. His 10-second videos racked up millions of views, and his subscriber count skyrocketed.
Then on March 15th, 2025, Scott Sora was found dead in his filming warehouse.
Told through interviews with four key figures—his opportunistic manager Marcus, his heartbroken ex-girlfriend Jessica, a frustrated detective Sarah Martinez, and his paranoid rival YouTuber Tyler—the film attempts to uncover what killed Scott. But nothing adds up. His body showed injuries from dozens of different incidents. His encrypted hard drives contain mysterious files labeled "INSURANCE POLICY" and "CHECKMATE." Witnesses claim to have seen him after his death. And new videos keep appearing on his channel.
Was it an accident? Suicide? Murder? Or the greatest hoax in internet history?
As the interviews progress, the tone shifts from comedy to genuine unease, revealing a darker commentary on internet fame, algorithmic addiction, and the cost of virality. Each character has their own theory about what happened, and none of them can prove they're right.
The film never provides a definitive answer—because in the age of internet mysteries, the truth matters less than the views.
The film alternates between 20-second interview segments and 10-second clips of Scott's actual YouTube videos, creating a rhythm that mimics social media consumption. Scott's videos progress from fun and harmless to increasingly dark and cryptic, building tension throughout.
