So why did Jamie secretly film Josh? And manipulate his camera?


Did I miss something or why did Jamie keep filming Josh (including that creepy Shaman scene, the whole fight between Josh and Cornelia)?

and why did Jamie need to manipulate the camera when he filmed the scene with Kent?


these scenes made him look like a creep LOL

i was wondering about that too.

maybe jessie was side-working on another (actual main?) documentary project about josh?!

about your other question, i don't know what you're talking about exactly; i remember seeing something odd in that scene, but don't know what for sure.

books, records, films - these things matter.

The implication was answered in Josh's rant about what makes a documentary. Jamie doesn't create documentaries with a plot or goal, he just films things that he finds interesting. Which makes his work just stuff someone filmed. But that idea was undercut by the fact that Jamie plotted out his whole documentary to just have the appearance of random discovery.
