“Action!” At Mr. Gardner’s cue, I took off across the campus, my breath steady as a steadicam operator fell into stride beside me. Renting the rig and hiring someone skilled enough to handle it had been expensive, but it was an expense I couldn’t cut. I had a very specific vision for this scene, and without a steadicam, it simply wouldn’t work. Some things were non-negotiable, even on a micro-budget. Every other outdoor scene had already been shot. This was the last one, held back only…- 190.4 K • Ongoing
- 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…

- I cut cleanly through the water until I reached the end of the lane, flipped into a smooth turn, and powered back toward the starting block. As I touched the wall, my teammate launched himself forward to face swimmers from the other Ivy League schools. As good a swimmer as I was, there was nothing more I could do once my leg of the relay ended. If I really wanted to, I could temporarily boost my teammates, the same way I had helped Julie while filming The Blue Lagoon. But that would’ve been pushing…

June 2009, Phoenix Motion Pictures HQ (Formerly Sony Columbia) “We would love for you to continue working on the film,” Tobias said emphatically. He leaned forward in his chair, palms pressed together, as if trying to soften the blow. “You are a great director. But this is not the direction we want to go in.” Not satisfied with the answer, the man in question turned to me. Chris Columbus adjusted his glasses before giving me a frustrated look. “Believe me, Troy, this is the perfect…- 961.0 K • Ongoing
- The moment I heard that name, I knew I had to do it. was undoubtedly the most outrageous yet funniest thing I had ever seen. I still remember watching it in London in the original timeline, having no clue what Mormonism was about, and laughing my ass off from the opening number to the encore. The creators had managed to explain the religion to the audience with absurd precision, wrapping facts in such absurdity that you couldn’t help but laugh. The funniest part was that the best jokes, the ones that…

- “Sam, this is my final selection,” Randal said, handing the list to the producer when they were alone in the room. “What do you think?” “I knew you’d include that Noah kid,” Samuel crowed. “What’s the deal? Is he sleeping with you, or do you want to sleep with him? Is that why you’re so insistent on him?” Randal, having grown a thick skin after years in Hollywood, simply rolled his eyes. “Imagine if we were auditioning for Emmeline and the girl took off her shirt. Would you…

- “Hey, Olive!” I called out, stepping out of the pool, dripping wet and wearing nothing but a pair of short swimming trunks that barely hid my modesty. The costume department had given me two options: long board shorts that hung past my knees, or something on the shorter side. I’d gone with the latter. If I were going to do fan service, I might as well commit to it properly. “You left your glass slipper at the party the other night,” I said, toweling myself off slowly. “Yeah, and I got…
