“I want to make a feature-length film for this year’s assignment,” I said, keeping my voice steady as I sat across from my film teacher. “I’ve got my own camera and sound equipment that I brought with me to Harvard, so that part shouldn’t be a problem.” Mr. Gardner leaned back in his chair and inclined his head, considering me over the rim of his glasses. “Usually, students go for the two short films. Ever since this class started, only one student tried making a thirty-minute film…- 278.0 K • Ongoing
- “Unfortunately, I have some bad news for you, Caleb.” He is the perfect actor for this film. Had I not already committed to Leo, I might have even cast Caleb in the lead role. The only problem is that he's way too good. Seeing them together, I can easily imagine him overshadowing Leo, especially in the looks department. Leo doesn't realize it now because he's not looking at it objectively. But the moment he sees both of them together in a replay, I know he'll throw a fit. It's better to go with a…

I walked into Casa Encantada and found a scene I hadn't expected at all. Evan and Dad were on their knees, giving piggyback rides to Ace and Ian, respectively. From what I could see, they were both wearing some kind of harness for the kids’ safety and trying to race each other. Meanwhile, the two toddlers were having the time of their lives, judging by their happy giggles. Mum and Scarlett were sitting on the couch, happily watching the moment. I felt a pang of guilt for having missed more moments…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- I looked at my childhood home, where I’d spent most of my life. I hadn’t realized until now how strange it would feel, knowing Dad had already sold the property to someone else, and was a tenant in his own home. “You don’t have to sell it,” I said to my father, who stood beside me. “I can loan you some money, and you can—” “And I can keep an old, run-down, ugly house for sentiments that no one cares about but you?” he asked rhetorically. “No, thanks. And I told you last time…

- is the best coming-of-age movie you’ll see this year Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Rating: 4/4 I had no idea what I was getting into when I walked into the premiere of . I was told by the trailers and the controversy that arrived just before the film’s release that it would be about sex, but it’s so much more than that. It’s a mirror to our society. The beginning of the tale is one that every red-blooded male would know: the urge to lose his virginity before his friends during his teenage…

- One moment I was lifting Emily into the air, the next she was trying to attack me with everything she had. “Put me down!” she cried, panic sharp in her voice. Her hands turned into frantic, metaphorical claws, swiping wildly and coming within an inch of scratching my face clean off. So, of course, I put her down. The instant her feet touched the ground, she curled in on herself like she was trying to disappear, then bolted off the set without a word. She didn’t even pause to explain what had…

- My lips were locked with Scarlett’s as a production assistant poured a big bucket of fake blood over us. I didn’t stop for even a second and even pulled her closer to me. I won’t lie, the whole scene was a little bit of a turn-on for me. Being wet with sticky red corn syrup while making out with the woman of my dreams was just about perfect. Was it a little gross that I was licking corn syrup off her body? The corn syrup part was; her body wasn’t, so I was actually enjoying it quite a…

- “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…

- “Ryan! What the hell are you doing there!? Your job is to hold that equipment over there! Don’t you dare ruin the shot now!” Ryan felt all the blood leave his face as soon as he heard the reprimand from the first AD. It was just his first month working at Phoenix Studios, and he had already messed up a few times. He was sure that with one more fuck-up on his hands, he’d be out on the streets. “Calm down, Terry,” the director of the film, Evan Spader, who was even younger than Ryan, said…

- 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…
