“If you’ll all give me your attention.” Sean Cunningham raised a champagne glass high above his head. The room quieted almost instantly. Everyone turned towards him. Even I did the same, surprised to see how relaxed he looked. Sean was usually tight-shouldered and restless, always pacing or double checking something, so seeing him loose and smiling felt strange. I guess what they say about the filmmaking business is true. It’s a tiring job that wears people down. “I couldn’t have made…- 192.9 K • Ongoing
“What the hell are you doing walking so slow?” Patty groaned, running ahead of her best friend, Claire. “Don’t you remember the last time we couldn’t get the tickets for ? Do you want to repeat that experience?”“Calm your horses, Pat,” Claire said leisurely. “This isn’t that big of a film. It’s very niche. I don’t think there’ll be a big crowd for it.”“I don’t care!” Patty retorted. “On the off-chance there is a crowd, I don’t wanna wait to see the film.”Claire…- 963.2 K • Ongoing
- (Flashback)"There are two films in particular that I loved more than the others. The first one is called ," Benji announced. "It's a hard R-rated teen comedy, even worse than when it comes to vulgar jokes. Reading it, I felt like a schoolboy had written it—it's that accurate to what actually happens in American high schools. And the humor? Out of this world. I nearly died laughing just from reading it."I was speechless. I absolutely loved . I had to do it at all costs. Benji was right—the movie…

- @MusicGeek09: KANYE REALLY JUST DID THAT??? Bro, let the girl have her moment. Poor Taylor Swift. That was probably the most humiliating experience of her life. Troy Armitage’s speech was so good, and I totally agree with him. #GetHelpKanye. @countrygirl_amy: I’ve never seen anything so rude on live TV. Taylor deserved better. I adore her music, and it wasn’t even a big surprise that she won. Sure, Single Ladies was also good, but Beyoncé won the freaking Video of the Year award! @NovaKnight:…

- I flipped through a business magazine as I waited patiently for my flight. “Who would’ve thought that Mr. Troy Armitage would be waiting for his flight just like any other normal person?” I turned toward my assistant with a raised eyebrow. “You’re saying that as if it’s my fault my private jet failed a safety inspection at the last moment and had to be grounded because of it. Or that all the other charter planes in the area were already booked today.” “You could’ve waited for two…

- Taylor Swift was ecstatic to receive an invitation to the Grammys. Who would have thought that a 17-year-old would be invited to the biggest music award show after releasing just one album, let alone as the date of the most famous star of recent history?"Are you sure this is fine?" Taylor asked for the umpteenth time."I stopped caring about rumors and stuff years ago," Troy said flippantly. "Are you sure you can handle the scrutiny that will follow? People will make up wild stories about you for…

- “Maintain your note for ten seconds, then give a pause for five then continue with next. Start with C, then C-sharp, D, D-sharp, and so on till you reach F-sharp.” Mr. Tanner instructed. I cleared my throat for good measure and began my practice. Practicing vocals with a coach was so much different from working alone. My previous coach didn’t have much experience with singing herself. She covered the basics of notes and voice pitch well enough but after that, even I with my limited experience…

- May 2007, New York City, NY, USA“Woah, this is crazy, Benji,” Oliver called out, clearly impressed as he ran a hand along the gleaming side of a silver Aston Martin. “Who would've thought you’d own one before your 20th birthday? And all because you were obsessed with another boy all these years.” He turned to Sophia with a smirk. “Talk about repressed homosexuality.”Sophia laughed, as if Oliver had just delivered a punchline. She leaned into his arm. “You’re too funny, Oliver.”Benji…

- Surprisingly, my parents didn’t create as big of a scene as I expected them to. One day after my birthday, they sat me down, and we had a frank discussion about my relationship with Emma.“I love her,” I said with utmost seriousness. “A lot.” It felt a little strange saying it out to my parents, but it was true. “It doesn’t matter what you have to say, I won’t stop dating her because of that.”“Troy,” Dad said in a serious tone. “You’re both very young. We don’t want you or Emma…

- The sun hung lazily in the sky, casting a golden glow over the slightly wet sand that stretched seemingly endlessly before us. The waves lapped gently at the shore, creating a soothing rhythm that was a world away from the chaos of film sets and bustling cities. I took a deep breath, inhaling the salty sea air, and felt a wave of contentment wash over me. The sunshine was perfect for me. Too bad my contract forbade me from sunbathing while the films were in production. This was heaven.I can't believe I…
