“Action!” “Emmeline!” an old, heavyset man shouted, his voice a mix of anger and panic, as he rushed toward a young girl standing near a berry bush. “Take them berries outta your mouth!” He grabbed her jaw firmly and pried it open with his thick fingers, forcing her to spit out the berries she had eaten in innocent ignorance. “Spit ‘em out! Come on!” From behind one of the fixed cameras, I was recording the scene, my focus locked on the old man’s face. A few feet away, Eddie…- 190.4 K • Ongoing
- 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…

“Troy,” Peter, my dance instructor, called out to me when the class was over, “Is by any chance any of your parents here to pick you up?”That question sent a shiver down my spine. After all his full name is Peter Darling. Who in their right mind would continue using such a horrendous family name?“Yes, usually my Mum comes.” I answered with uncertainty, “She must be waiting outside. Is there a problem?”While I didn’t show anything on my face, I was ready to run away and shout at a moment's…- 961.0 K • Ongoing
- The 73rd Academy Awards were to take place on March 25, 2001. It had been more than a month since the BAFTA had been aired, and the most heated race of the year was the category of Best Actor. Usually, the precursor awards are a good indicator as to who is most likely to win, but the awards till now have been very divisive. The Golden Globes gave out two awards, one to Troy Armitage for Drama, and one to George Clooney for Comedy. The problem here was that George Clooney wasn’t even nominated for the…

- In addition to the two main mysteries, there were two more smaller ones thrown into the loop. One was Harry seeing a dead man named Peter Pettigrew moving through the castle using a magical map, while the other was the disappearance of Ron’s pet rat, Scabbers. While most people didn’t think too much of it, Benji knew how important little details could be in films.There was a particular scene that had cheers of joy going around the crowd of viewers, and that was when Hermione punched Draco in the…

- May 2005, LondonEvan was excited. It was the last day of filming his very first film. True, he hadn’t directed the film himself as he wanted to, but he’d written the script and directed a few songs for it. For now, that was more than enough. Usually, he didn’t skip classes to go to the set, but today was different. He had gotten permission from his foster parents to witness the final day of filming. With his current plan, he would be eligible to direct his first film in four years, as per the…

- After that first award for Best Supporting Actor, the award show went by in a blur. One after another, more awards were being given out to different movies. In the last few weeks before the voting ended, Dad and Warner Bros had scaled up the promotions of and significantly. I personally didn’t think we had any chance in a major category when a masterpiece like was right there, but Warner Bros was adamant. They had just won Best Picture last year for and wanted to repeat that feat this year.Usually,…

- Bobby walked beside me nervously as we entered the party hall. “I went through a lot of trouble to arrange this meeting for you. James Cameron isn’t an easy man to get a hold of. Do you know how many other A-listers have been trying to get in with him?”“Yeah, but there’s a difference between other A-listers and me—that’s something the industry is well aware of by now,” I shot back. “I don’t mind taking a lower pay if I like the role.”Bobby nodded in agreement. “And that’s the only…

- 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…

- “Easy, boy,” I called out to the horse standing in front of me. Just like me and Zoe, the horse was fitted with motion-sensing balls all over its body, allowing the VFX team to use its real movements as the basis for the animated creature they would later create. “Pale is female,” Zoe corrected in her accented voice. The team had decided that the native Na’vi people would speak in an accent distinct from American or British English, which made sense when you thought about it. Anyone learning…
