If From 2024-01-25 playback: Start of video has recordings of a fan and a pen creating a spiral, and other recordings that may be original recordings. These clips include some overlayed shots, and seem to have already gone through an editing process. After, several clips that are dubs of the movie Lassy. Appear to be duplicate clips of same or extremely similar content. Some clips of Lassy at least twice. Per Mona Jimenez: if layered this may be a dub of optically printed film. Description from playback, 2024-01-25, determined from spot checking first few minutes, last few and spot checking throughout. Unsure why inspectors associated with If (image comparison?)

Carrot and other things are cut. A kid, wearing a princess dress and braided pigtails also is shown on camera. Other food is prepared. Around 30 minutes in [performers] go to a supermarket, maybe a Shoprite. The footage isn't recognizably from a specific production. Per Felice Shays: at that time Diane was working with Paper Tiger TV or possibly outakes for Dear Mom. DTV in the title stands for Dyke TV and this may be footage Diane shot for them. Description from playback, 2024-01-25, determined from spot checking first few minutes, last few and spot checking throughout. Also through consultation with Felice Shays who lived with Diane in Jersey City at the time. However it is unclear what part of the content description was provided by Shays and what was provided by inspectors. Also unclear is identity of performers.

A black and white projection overlayed onto some creepy [interpretation of inspectors] dollhouse toys. Images from the projector are of someone ironing and doing other chores. In the background is the film projector's sound. Later shots of moving outside, a statue of the Virgin Mary through a fence and in a tunnel from a car. Shots of a kitchen and a timer. There are multiple takes of the same gesture, a glass pot from a coffee percolator (resembling one from a diner) on a gas stove. Woman tries to grab it and drops it gasping in pain. This repeats several times. Later someone beats eggs, again with several takes. Cake is also made from a box mix. Description from playback, 2024-01-25, determined from spot checking first few minutes, last few and spot checking throughout.
