TILE: SONNY MCKINLEY (Ch. 3) Format: Interactive web-doc / Found footage horror / Video essay hybrid. Synopsis: Sonny Mckinley, a disgraced media theorist, discovers a "dead tile" of the early internet—a server holding the unfinished 1999 pilot for a cartoon called Will Tile . As he restores the cel animation, the cartoon begins to edit his reality. Mckinley realizes he is not restoring the past; the past is tiling over his present. He has 72 hours to upload the "overdue content" before his own life is rendered obsolete. Why it's overdue: The creator reportedly suffered a hard drive crash during rendering in 2024. A backup was "found" on a Quantum LTO-7 tape in a storage unit in Burbank. The “XXX” cut includes 15 minutes of experimental rotoscoping that violates YouTube’s community guidelines regarding synthetic violence.
