Hi welcome!
Could you clarify what is 00:10:24?

main.typ
#set page(height: auto, width: 240pt, margin: 15pt)

- During the characters’ interaction, it becomes evident… #tv(<episode>)
#let bib = ```bib
% Some how, booktitle in misc will be ignored
@incollection{episode,
title = {Episode Title},
booktitle = {Show Name},
author = {{Creator} and {Director}},
date = {2161},

}
@misc{show,

howpublished = {production company/network},
