Link to the song: Can't Love Nobody But You - Joshua Hatkins x Jai Baby x Swiggle Mandela

Joshua Hatkins, Jai Baby and Swiggle Mandela each hear about a Valentine's Day Bash happening that night and decide to go.

Joshua texts his bae to see if they want to go the dance and they say that they do. He's hype and starts finding an outfit to wear to the party.

Jai Baby goes to pick up her girlfriend's house to pick her up for the dance and they link up and exchange valentine's day gifts in Jai's car before heading over to the party.

Joshua walks down a city street on his way to the party and all around him are couples in love and doing romantic things. He gets even more hype to see his bae at the party.

Swiggle Mandela sits on the couch, already ready to go as he sits and smokes a blunt. His wife comes in with a red and blue dress and asks him "Which one?". He says "The blue one" She replies "She's gonna wear the red one". At the end of his verse they head out to the party.

Joshua is now at the party nervously waiting for his date to arrive. At the end of the chorus, they arrive. During the bridge of the song, there will be shots of the two romantically dancing together to the music. 

During the final chorus we will see shots of all three main couples at the party dancing, and socializing and having a good time.

The End.

An American travels to Thailand to rescue his daughter from a doomsday cult.

• Job: Film

The purpose of this film is to bring attention to the harmful situations that children are in throughout the world and convey the message that if people do not start paying attention to this, then there will be many more children facing it. While there may not be an ending for the Lost Children, people on Earth can work towards eliminating the need to create this ending for the children who are gone. This is in no way a religious film, nor is it a film that challenges any religious or spiritual beliefs. It is purely for the purpose of shedding light on the need to end violence that children are facing in this world. There is also no depiction of death or any inappropriate scenes throughout the film. It only takes place in the fictional world of the Lost Children and their situation post-violence. 

The film will be shot in Oregon. After the release of the film, the actors’ payment will increase depending on the amount the film makes, $20 per day is the initial payment for actors. 

The Lost Children is a fantasy/drama feature film about the place in which the “lost children” go to. The children are referred to as The Lost Children because they died young and no longer have families to be with. The story follows the experience of a gender-neutral child named Vana arriving at the place for the Lost Children. Vana died as a result of the horrid conditions of the US southern border. As every other child is when they arrive, Vana is confused. Upon their arrival, they meet other Lost Children and discover the beauty of where they are now. Vana, having lived through a terrible time, begins to feel relieved because they are no longer in a harmful situation. There is a young woman named Kate who watches over all The Lost Children due to her ever growing heart. As Vana meets more Lost Children, they find out that where they are isn’t as great as it seems. Often times, The Lost Children have nightmares that correlate to the way they died. That is something they are unable to escape. After a while, Vana begins to miss their family. That is also something that they learned from the other Lost Children, that you begin to miss your family after being there for a while. Although the movie begins with showcasing the beauty of where these Lost Children are and how free they are from any harm, towards the middle of the movie, the worse side is shown. The children may be safe, but they certainly do still feel pain. They feel the pain of missing their families; the pain of their recurring nightmares; the pain of not having been able to live their lives. The film does not have a satisfying ending. There is no problem-solving ending because there that is not the case for the Lost Children. Their pain will continue on forever.
