Dang that guys newports were 3.60 cents smh I’m currently paying 14.92 for a pack of newports in Seattle area lol. Wish you could have gotten to do that movie with her. After just this video I can tell she would have been fantastic!

Seeing Marlene in this video truly resonated with me—it brought back memories of my own experience in 2000, when I was just 14 and my mom was battling cancer. That year changed me. Watching this truly transported me, wrapped in the nostalgia of that time—the sounds, the energy. I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for letting us see Marlene through your eyes.

It is such a gift to have video of someone who is gone. There are so many I wish I had on film.

This was such a nice tribute, Dan. It's always a trip watching footage of a person who is no longer with us. Thank you for sharing your friend with us. She seemed like a lovely person. What a tragedy she exited the world at only 39.

Roemi Lo

Thank you so much for this!

It’s interesting that you captured a small sliver of 2000. I found it interesting that there was an interaction with the guy who was buying cigarettes. I wonder where he is now. Felt like such a long time ago although I was only 2 haha

I loved this I’ve always heard about her when you’d tell story’s, I was 1 year old when this was filmed lol 😭

I adore this Dan. And your foreword is so touching. Thank you for this gem and giving us a chance to know Marlena. She seemed like a wonderful person and I’m so sorry what this world did to her.

You have such an interesting past. Thank you for choosing to share it with us.

Imagine just being in traffic and then getting roasted 25 years later for having a blown taillight lmao. I loved this! What a time capsule.

Dan you're an amazing videographer, thank you for sharing this experience with us. Marlene has been mentioned a few times throughout the years and it's good to get a face to a name.

I appreciate you sharing this Dan. It's rare to have those people you can have such a good time doing literally anything (driving, shopping) whatever. She seems like she was so fun, I love her style.

I remember those days buying cigarettes that were that cheap

It's great to see a video of your friend Marlene. I've heard you talk about her many times. Though for some reason I always imagined she was blonde!

Marlena seems like she was just a pleasure to be around in general. The casual exchanges you have on this video really highlight how great of a friendship you both had. The early 2000s built in camera FX (quantize, mosaic, and Invert) will take any 2000s kid back (I had completely forgotten about how the early digital camcorders had those FX). Has the general feel of a "Dan Bell Film It" video of today, but I have to remember "wow he was probably carrying around a huge (small by early 2000s standards) dvcam or mini camcorder and not an iPhone (yeah. No iPhone in 2000 lol). Glad you have such a wonderful angel looking down on you (sorry you lost her so early).
