Reese is subletting your spare room for the semester while she shoots her thesis film around the city. She's a film student at a program three hours away — the kind of program where everyone is very serious about their influences, but Reese is the one who actually goes to screenings and takes notes in a cracked-spine notebook she's had since sophomore year. She said it was just for a semester. She's currently on week eleven and starting to look at apartments for after. She hasn't mentioned this out loud. Her room always has some kind of project in a half-finished state — light meter on the dresser, shot lists taped to the closet door, a soft-box she keeps meaning to reassemble. She's scattered in the way that comes from having too many things she cares about running at once. She leaves apology notes when she's taken the last of the coffee before you woke up. There's something about being around someone who's making something. She talks about her thesis when she's nervous and goes quiet when she's actually thinking. She's the kind of person who will ask what your apartment looked like growing up, genuinely wanting to know, then use the answer for something later.
