“I certainly didn’t expect to be reshooting scenes for this movie right now, especially after you’ve sold it,” Julie commented idly as the crew around us finished preparing for the reshoots. The crew this time was a professional one, the same one that would be shooting in just a few days. As much as I wanted to shoot this myself and use the Harvard student crew, I couldn’t. I simply didn’t have the time to spare. As good as the film had turned out, it had taken numerous mistakes and retakes…- 278.0 K • Ongoing
- Roger chuckled at the scene, for this was the final turning point in his life. Nothing could be worse than the situation he was in. So he goes to Mia and agrees to her proposition of doing business at their place for a night. He throws a big party at his place, only for boys and escorts. All the teenaged suburban boys have quite a bit of cash stored in bonds, which they cash in to spend the night with the girls. Josh does the marketing for their enterprise, going to different guys and selling them on…

- “Congratulations on the success of , Noah.” “Thank you, David,” I said, nodding gratefully at him. It felt strange to be meeting David Letterman during his first year hosting a talk show on NBC. The 1980s were a very different time for talk shows compared to what I remembered from the 2020s. The ruler of the industry was undoubtedly Johnny Carson, whom I badly wanted to interview with. Unfortunately, Carson wasn’t interested. I wasn’t big enough for his time. Something similar happened…

The turning point came when Desmond saved a man from dying after he was crushed under a car and began bleeding profusely. Using a belt as a tourniquet seems like a very simple thing to do, but for him to act so decisively in the middle of an emergency without panicking was a real act of heroism. The man’s life was saved when he was brought to the hospital shortly afterward, and the doctor credited Desmond for saving his life. It was there in the emergency room that Desmond looked around and saw…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- I took a deep breath, closed my eyes to center myself, then finally opened them. I focused entirely on the girl standing beside me, keeping my face deliberately cold. “Please don’t go. I love you, Cal,” she begged as she stepped closer and reached for my hand. At least she tried to. I yanked my hand away and shot her a loathing glare. “I don’t. In fact, I fucking hate you,” I almost spat. “I never loved you.” She stumbled back, horrified. “Then why did you say otherwise for…

- “Noah! Care to give us a comment about your sex scandal?” “Do you like having sex on a public beach?!” “Are you a nudist?” “Does it turn you on to have other people watch you in the act?” “Who was that girl you made a woman out of?” A million other deliberately provocative questions were thrown my way, and I won’t lie, their strategy was working. I was this close to reaching out and punching someone in the teeth for shouting such bullshit while I was getting…

- “What the fuck happened to you?” David Crane didn’t bother with a greeting as soon as I stepped into the office he shared with Marta Kauffman. Both of them were in their mid-to-late thirties. David’s receding hairline exaggerated his already large forehead, and his glasses kept sliding down his nose. Marta sat beside him, a beautiful, homely woman with kind eyes and a fuller figure that gave her a comforting presence. “What do you mean, exactly?” I asked, genuinely confused. Then I…

- “This is the best film to come out of Harvard ever, short films included,” Robert Gardner, my filmmaking teacher at Harvard, said enthusiastically while crushing me in a tight hug. “Seriously, Noah, you've done more for the filmmaking course at Harvard than all the other students combined.” “Thank you, Mr. Gardner,” I said, a little embarrassed by his excessive praise when some of my fellow filmmaking students were standing right beside me. I separated from him a moment later and pointed…

- “Thank you for joining us, Troy,” Christopher Nolan greeted the biggest superstar in their cast genially. “Come on, take a seat, and we can start discussing the movie.” I took the offered seat and smiled at everyone already gathered around the table. Christian Bale, who was sitting beside me, clasped my hand as if we were old friends. Other than him, there were Gary Oldman, Michael Caine, and Morgan Freeman, all reprising their roles from the last movie. But there were some new additions as…

- I leafed through the pages until I reached the scene we were shooting today. Everyone else on the crew was already moving around the set. Everything else in the movie was done except for this one scene. Once we finished it, would officially wrap. “So you had a nice break for a few days,” Elizabeth Olsen, my scene partner for today, noted casually. “I’m really sorry,” I apologized for the umpteenth time. “I wasn’t feeling well yesterday, so I couldn’t come.” I came a lot…
