Creation of "Missing 411": a vaudevillian variety show; borrowing source material from the CanAm Missing Project and Missing411 community on Reddit; featuring The Movie Much Twins, JBB (Jet Bulge Bronson), Tortle, and Brad. One audience member was chosen each night to "go missing" into the absurd world of clown, playing a pivotal role in the recovery of friendship.

The project becomes MISSING 411: INTO THE VOID, a piece blending live performance and projected film within a three-story building, in which the aforementioned characters were joined by Muckle, Julio, and Banana; windows used for visual sightlines and radio transmission to broadcast sound; audiences watched in parked cars across the street: a global-health-dystopian take on the drive-in movie musical.
