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…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

We're going to the hospital.” He nodded gratefully and…- 31.2 K • Ongoing
- “What the fuck is going on, Boris!?” Robert Mueller, the head of security at Phoenix and a former director of the FBI, shouted at his second-in-command. “What exactly are we dealing with?” The younger man wiped his brow worriedly. “I’m not exactly sure. What I do know is that someone somehow got into our internal servers. We don’t know the extent of the breach or what possible channels allowed it, but our best teams are working non-stop to make sure we catch the perpetrator.” Robert…

- As I walked out of the audition room, I noticed that everyone else had left, leaving just the sexy redhead receptionist behind, the same one who was currently avoiding looking at me. “Hey, Paige!” I greeted her, stopping in front of her desk. When she didn’t even look up, I added, “Still mad at me, huh? Well, I just wanted to tell you that I lost the role, so that I won’t be coming here anymore.” That did the trick of shocking her enough that she forgot she was mad at me. “What do…

The allegations against him might have made people question his character, but no one could deny his talent, his influence, or the weight his words carried. Even if the name he gave me didn’t stick (which I hoped it wouldn’t), I would still cherish it forever because of Michael’s intentions, which I knew were genuine. One thing I had learned during all my time with him was that…

- In the end, I couldn’t find a reason not to tell Scarlett everything about the Weinstein plot. So, I did. When I finished, silence filled the room. Scarlett sat across from me, her expression frozen somewhere between disbelief and confusion. She seemed far more surprised than I had expected. “Say something,” I gently prodded. “Let me get this straight,” she began slowly, her brows furrowing. “You’re trying to expose Harvey Weinstein as a sexual predator because he didn’t let you…
