STS Ch-59
“That’s a great fucking idea!” Bob exclaimed as we walked side by side through the crowded airport terminal. “It hadn’t even occurred to me that Marty’s mother might see him as a prospective lover. That’ll be a good comedic beat to add to the story.” I nodded, adjusting the strap of my carry-on. “Just make sure you don’t take it too far into weird territory. She’s still his mother.” “Of course,” he agreed quickly. “I was just thinking that I could…” He was cut off…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-49
It surprised Al Pacino to learn that a mere 18-year-old had written such an impressive story. When Noah left the script for him that day, Al had been irritated. It wasn’t the first time an acquaintance had tried to corner him into working together, and he was usually very good at shutting those attempts down. Still, there was something about Noah that stirred his curiosity. If the boy had managed to sell a script to Columbia and earn enough money to buy a house right next to his, he couldn’t be…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-28
After a successful meeting with the director of Friday the 13th, I drove to my second appointment of the day. This one carried far more weight because it was with Douglas Day-Stewart and Paul Brickman, the duo rewriting my version of Risky Business. They had just returned from Los Angeles after finalizing the revisions that Columbia Pictures wanted before approving the film. Technically, my contract gave me the right to object to any changes made to the script. Realistically, though, filmmaking was…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-51
I sat across from my soon-to-be agent and carefully read through the contract she’d handed me. It didn’t take me long to get through the pages. “Honestly, I didn’t expect the reason for you not signing me up to be this,” I said, motioning around at her new office, which looked nothing like her old one. And thank God she didn’t insist on representing me back then. For if she had, I would have lost out on a good chunk of my profits from the backend deal I had subsequently signed with Sean…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-85
I decided to glare at the man who’d barged inside without so much as knocking, but the way he looked at Emma told me he meant business. “Cameron!” Emma gasped. “Couldn’t you have knocked?” “I got a call from your production team,” Cameron began without wasting a second. “They complained that you were acting like a diva and refusing to shoot. Is that true?” “Of course, that’s not true!” Emma glared at him. “Today is my first day on set. Why would I throw a tantrum today…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-29
I stepped into the store after deliberating about it for days. The place was quiet, almost too quiet, which made sense considering how niche the product I was after was. “Whoa,” Peter murmured beside me, spinning around slowly as his eyes widened in awe. “I think we’ve come to the right place to find you a camera.” “I think so too,” I said, equally taken aback by the rows of cameras lined neatly along the glass shelves. Every wall was filled with vintage bodies and gleaming lenses, some…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-86
“I’m so sorry!” I immediately turned around. “I thought... you’d be dressed by now.” For some reason, my male ego forced me to lie instead of admitting I’d walked into the wrong trailer by mistake. “And you decided to come into my trailer wearing only a towel?” she shot back sassily. I raised the script pages in my hand. “John asked me to drop off the revised pages for tomorrow’s shoot so you could prepare. I thought I’d hand them over quickly and then go get…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-75
“Thank you for coming here to see me,” I said, shaking hands with the man in front of me. John Landis gave me a nod. “It’s okay. I’ll do anything for my film. It’s my baby.” There was something in the way he said it that made me feel a little uncomfortable in his presence. Nonetheless, I indicated for him to take a seat on the couch opposite me. “So,” I began after a few moments of silence, “Why do I have a feeling that you came here not just to discuss the script with…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-20
“Action!” “Emmeline!” an old, heavyset man shouted, his voice a mix of anger and panic, as he rushed toward a young girl standing near a berry bush. “Take them berries outta your mouth!” He grabbed her jaw firmly and pried it open with his thick fingers, forcing her to spit out the berries she had eaten in innocent ignorance. “Spit ‘em out! Come on!” From behind one of the fixed cameras, I was recording the scene, my focus locked on the old man’s face. A few feet away, Eddie…- 246.1 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-87
“Aaaaahh! It hurts so fucking much!” I screamed as I writhed on the ground, covered in fake hair. “Turn around and show your back to the camera,” John Landis barked as he operated the camera himself. I did as instructed, dropping to all fours and howling while staring up at the ceiling. “Perfect!” Landis grinned. “We got what we needed. You can get some of the hair removed now, and we’ll shoot the next part.” Under the watchful eyes of dozens of crew members, I got up and…- 246.1 K • Ongoing
