EXHIBIT 001 • 2016

Little Wade
and His Adventures

An employee-created promotional experiment made during Eli Coleman's Studio Movie Grill period.

STUDIO MOVIE GRILL — SIMI VALLEY SMG-A / MOTION PROMO
The archive presents the surviving artifact as historical work. It does not present an official Studio Movie Grill or Deadpool campaign.
01THE MOMENT

A small film made in a cinema world.

During Eli's Studio Movie Grill period, around the theatrical-release cycle for Deadpool, he developed a playful Simi Valley spoof. The surviving email describes a private presentation to SMG personnel. That context supports an employee-created creative experiment; it does not establish an official corporate campaign or a studio-authorized promotion.

Employment context supplied by the operator: bartender / server-trainer work and New Store Opening training activity involving managers, bartenders and servers across Simi Valley, Monrovia, Downey and Glendale.

04THE RESPONSE

CONTEMPORANEOUS FEEDBACK

“Well done sir!”

After viewing the presentation, an SMG Simi Valley general manager specifically mentioned the Simi Valley Hollywood sign and the trailer credits. The response is retained here as a short contextual summary; private addresses, phone numbers and recipient lists are intentionally excluded.

Source context: July 11, 2016 Gmail thread, “VP Archer, SMG Spoof - Little Wade and His Adventures.”

05ELI'S ROLE

Concept, editing, implementation.

The evidence supports describing Eli's contribution as a concept / promotional experiment with editing and motion-presentation implementation. The exhibit does not claim authorship of Studio Movie Grill marks, Deadpool characters or film material, third-party footage, music, typography, or other components whose provenance is unresolved.
