- June 2005, California, USA“Olive,” Greg Kinnear said. “Your Grandpa would’ve been really proud of you.” He loaded a few bags into the boot space of the minibus—the same boot space where Grandpa’s corpse had been stuffed not long ago.“Yeah, you were great,” Toni Collette added, bending down to kiss Abigail’s temple.“Beyond great,” I said, placing a hand on her head. “You were incredible.”She looked up at me with a shy smile. “Thank you!”Greg shut the boot. “Let’s get out…

- June, 2005, Arizona, USAI couldn't help but curse my luck as soon as I ran into the living room. The lively atmosphere on set had been immediately dampened by Toni's scream. Everyone was gathered around Alan Arkin, who was lying flat on the floor with his eyes closed. Toni Collette was hovering over him.As soon as I crouched beside her, she turned to me in panic. "We've called 9-1-1, but they'll take some time to get here. Do you know CPR?"I didn't. I opened my mouth to say so, but then I noticed something…

- “Troy, what was the name of that restaurant we went to last time here?”I silently kept reading the screenplay in the back of our car.“Do you remember when we snorkeled on that island we booked a few years ago? That was fun, wasn’t it?”I shot a deadpan stare at my mother, only to receive a mischievous grin in return. She had decided in her utmost wisdom to try to make me break character. After the first day, it had become a game of sorts between us, one I was oddly enjoying—but I wouldn’t let…

- The three men sitting in front of me, all wearing confident grins, made it clear that this negotiation wouldn’t be easy.“I think half a million would be the perfect remuneration for you,” David Friendly, the man on the far left, said. He was in his fifties, with a stocky build and a round face.“Absolutely,” Peter Saraf, seated in the middle, agreed. He looked similar to David in terms of age and build. “You know we only have an $8 million budget after accounting for state subsidies. So half a…

- 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…

- “I just want to talk to her, Jackie,” Troy said emphatically.“And I told you that she is studying for her mock exams,” Emma’s mother retorted. “Why can’t you come back in a few weeks when she’s done with all her exams rather than disturbing her right now with…whatever this is?”From what Emma could gather, her mother wasn’t too happy with Troy at the moment and wasn’t shy about showing her disapproval. With the way their breakup had affected Emma, it made sense. Troy hadn’t said…

- The shooting for the day was yet to begin, and since we were filming outdoors, I decided to check some of my financials in the meantime. The report from my business manager, Andrew Cohen, had been more than encouraging. Thanks to my active involvement in Crocs, their business was booming. The 2004 revenue had already reached $250 million, and it would almost certainly cross $500 million in 2005. I laughed inwardly, knowing that the company founders were probably regretting their lack of foresight in…
