I sort of, like, predicted this:

Hey, me too! Nice work, team!

Now he's only lying about... the movie industry being interested (there's nothing special about this story, I guarantee that nobody important cares), the whole interaction with his "weed man", and... probably everything else too. Maybe he's staying at a friend's house because he's scared, but that's about the only thing I'd believe at all.

spot on!
Crazy that he lied...but is that a lie to cover it up?

He received offers about turning it into a movie (apparently)...does the lie make it a better movie?

The safe assumption would be that he's lying about that too.
