The Rapid Rise and Fall of Dylan Avery

http://www.vocativ.com/usa/us-politics/rapid-rise-fall-dylan-avery/

When the boys were 17, Rowe dropped out of high school and eventually enlisted in the Army, while Avery applied to film school, at SUNY Oneonta, but didn’t get in. After he graduated, in 2002, he took a job doing local construction and began to sketch out a screenplay. It was a fantastical caper about a couple of boys who, sensing something nefarious, decide to investigate 9/11, unearthing a vast conspiracy and becoming heroes in the process. “It was fun,” Avery explains. “About kids fucking shit up. The original script ended with a rally on the White House lawn, and then I think we all fake our own deaths.”

The plan was to splice the fictional story with real-life news footage, but then it turned into a documentary. “It was kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy,” he admits. “The feature script definitely paved the way for what was about to come.”


Yes, prophecy, except for the part about unearthing a vast conspiracy, becoming heroes, a rally at the White House, and faking their own deaths. That leaves "kids fucking shit up."
