Nightcrawler

And he becomes a stringer - a person who is the first to rush to the scene of extraordinary events in order to then sell the filmed material to whoever will pay the most. That's why Louis spends all his money on a camera and a car to learn how to "catch" the most candid, and sometimes even shocking, events. This is how his "dark" side is exposed, which encourages him to stop at nothing for the sake of an expensive plot.
