Tobias was an alright fellow, I guess. I'm still a little miffed that his duties were curtailed to become more or less my babysitter by my mother. Not that I'd let him stay that way. Honestly, I'm surprised my mother let me hire him. No one can deny that it is past time that I got a team of my own, but hiring anyone new permanently meant a great reduction in my mother's duties, which she saw as me growing up. When I first floated the idea to her after receiving Tobias' email, she had literally cried. I…- 963.2 K • Ongoing
- “I really loved your work, Bobby,” I said with a grin, sliding an envelope across the coffee table in my parents' living room. “Consider this a token of my appreciation.”When he didn’t immediately open it, I nudged him. “Go on, open it.”As soon as he saw the figure inside, his eyes widened comically. “Are you sure this is the right amount? This is my entire annual salary.”“Consider it an advance bonus for the year,” I said confidently. “You know how my earnings work—sometimes I…

- “Everything okay?” Scarlett asked when I returned to the set, still shirtless.“Yeah,” I feigned nonchalance. “Caruso had some pointers for the scene.”“Great,” she said, sarcasm dripping from her voice. “Didn’t realize the scene had changed to you kissing yourself. Of course, the actress won’t need any pointers.”I chuckled at her antics before explaining, “It wasn’t like that. He says the scene doesn’t look good from a viewer’s perspective, and apparently, it’s because of…

- February 2009, London, UK Emma Watson felt like she was finally free after such a long time. As much as she loved the world, it was high time that she moved on. Her time at Oxford University had been some of the best of her life so far. That was another reason she was happy to leave behind. She had taken a year off from her education to finish the last movie, and now she could finally do what she wanted to. The grand ballroom sparkled with chandeliers and gold-trimmed walls, filled with laughter,…

- I was walking from the Immigration zone towards the waiting area, dragging my red suitcase, my eyes taking in every face looking for two particular ones that I wanted to see more than anything else at the moment.“Troy!”I turned my head towards the familiar voice. Standing right there were Steve and Kathy. I picked up my pace as I almost ran towards the couple, balancing the suitcase carefully. As soon as I reached them, Kathy opened her arms for a hug and I literally rammed into her and hugged her for…

- As soon as the first commercial break started, I stormed toward the audience, fully intending to break Kanye’s nose. The energy in the room crackled with tension, but what I saw there made me second-guess my decision. “You’re a little piece of shit!” a woman was shouting directly in Kanye West’s face. Her voice cut sharply through the noise of the crowd. “Who gave you the right to ruin someone else’s moment? God, if there weren’t thousands of people around, I’d have broken your nose,…

“What do you mean she’s not good for this role?” I asked, barely stopping myself from shouting at the director. “The moment she started acting, it felt like she was made for this part. And she’s tall too, just like you wanted.” Paul leaned back in his chair and shook his head slowly. “I can’t say it with certainty. I just didn’t like her. Not once did she look me or anyone else in the eye. That’s not the sign of a good actor.” Samuel Rivers, the studio executive sitting in on…- 192.8 K • Ongoing
- Emily sat on the ground in her designated spot. Her feet overlapped each other, and a beautiful blue bracelet set rested on her wrist, which she played with idly, drawing attention to her hand. I sat beside her, concern etched on my face.“I must have sounded pretty crazy on the phone yesterday,” she began slowly, her red-rimmed eyes adding a vulnerability to her act as she looked away from me. “You just gotta forget about it. That’s how you can help me out. Just, please, forget about it.” There…

- In the end, I didn’t have to call my childhood friends over to help me out. I hadn’t expected the entire VES department to fight for a spot on my crew, but in hindsight, of course, they wanted in. “Noah.” A girl stood right in front of me, her posture rigid and her eyes blazing with determination. “I’ll be your cinematographer on this film,” she said. “That’s final.” I blinked, caught completely off guard. I’d barely stepped into the VES classroom and hadn’t even said…

- Scarlett glanced sideways at her twin brother. Hunter was practically vibrating in his seat, even though the film’s pace had slowed. His eyes were wide, his hands gripping the armrest. “Oh my God! This is so good,” he whispered. “I know it sounds bad, but I love the Joker.” Scarlett gave him a skeptical look. “Don’t you mean you hate him?” Hunter paused to think, then leaned in. “I hate what he does, but I love watching him. Every second he’s on screen, I’m hooked. And when…
