For those hording toilet paper

What about the collection of characters associated in one way or another with the Fact or Fiction crew and show? I like how this develops similarly to The Blair Witch Project's companion piece, "Curse of the Blair Witch" which some believe is just as good as the product released to theaters (I think there's a good argument there, too). Both have those who had contact with the dead/missing interviewed, revealing their own thoughts and feelings about the protagonists and the predicament they found themselves.

Locus doesn't know what happened to Stephen

I like the simplicity of the chintzy/kitschy show, how it looks plagued by a piss-poor budget and offers itself as an example of something limited by its quality tech. I couldn't help but think about Shot-on-Video flicks from the 80s/early 90s which meant well but were laughers. Tom Branski (Tom Brunt) is one of those interviewed, and I think he is an important character in that he was the "technical director" of the show, Fact or Fiction. He is forthright about the show's ambitions and how Locus' co-host (and boss), Stephen Avcas (co-director, Stephen Avalos), was a bit of an egotist who saw this as a precursor to making it big. Tom is honest that he found Stephen to be oblivious to the fact that the cable access world rarely produces a success story. Technically, Tom did admit that Fact or Fiction was losing its cult audience and that the trip to the Pine Barrens was a desperate attempt to try and appeal to a hopefully returning audience, and maybe even new viewers.

Stephen is the only one whose body was never recovered. The documentary asks if it was possible he presented a stunt, but that would be ludicrous cause what would he ultimately get out of it? I like that he was never found. What did happen to him?
