**.shadow — the User behind the program —** Jorma Taccone · the documenting brother — loyalty tangled with the real son's blood

**who —** Kevin Powell — Frank's son and Rod's stepbrother, the crew's cameraman and Rod's most tangled, loyal ally.
**what —** The brother in the middle: documenting the dream, half mocking and wholly devoted, the 'cool beans' rap partner.
**where —** Behind the camcorder, in the crew's huddles, on the cool-beans tangent.
**why —** Because the found-family has a brother at its center, complicated by being the real son of the withholding father.
**how —** By filming every stunt, joining every bit, and standing with Rod against their own father.

**the seal —** He's my stepbrother and my best footage. Cool beans — I filmed every dumb, beautiful second of it.
