I stood on the Venice Film Festival red carpet with Evan and Jonathan to my right and Elizabeth Olsen immediately to my left. Matthew McConaughey stood beside her, with the rest of the principal cast of beyond him. I offered my red carpet smile to the cameras while resting my arm against Elizabeth's back. She didn't seem to mind the contact one bit, so I left my hand where it was as dozens of photographers snapped hundreds of photos every second. “This is beyond anything I'd ever imagined,”…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- “It’s so cool to see you two together, doing a movie!” the woman in front of me gushed excitedly. “Don’t tell this to anyone, but you two are my favorite celebrity couple of all time.” I laughed and pointed at the camera placed behind her. “Thank you, but I think you just told everyone yourself.” She turned back to the camera and said, “Sorry, Brangelina, you two came second by just a single point. The competition was neck and neck.” Scarlett laughed at that and added,…

- The music started with the iconic Hedwig’s theme before melding into something original, created exclusively for the last Harry Potter movie. It was grand in scale, which was exactly what was needed for the epic finale of one of the greatest film series in the history of movies. Till this day, I am baffled by the fact that I never realized my love for music in my past life. Even when I participated in X Factor, I was eliminated before it could go anywhere. For my voice, the only difference I had…

- May 2010, New York City, New York “How are things?” I asked casually. Judging by the eager faces around the table, things were good. At the very least, no one looked worried. The meeting itself was informal by design. No one wore suits, and the whole vibe was chill. I preferred it that way, no rigid agendas, no stiff presentations. Just people talking honestly. “Things are great,” Chad Hurley, the CEO of YouTube, said with barely contained excitement. “We’re finally profitable.” I…

- Chloe took a sip from the teacup, which, honestly, wasn’t that bad. She hadn’t realized when she had gotten so used to the high-class housewife routine, but she had, and now she couldn’t go back to her normal life. This included occasional luncheons or high tea with her group of friends. “The tea is lovely, Marie,” Chloe said sincerely to the host. “Thank you, Chloe,” Marie smiled back. “Try some of my lemon tart as well. I baked it myself.” “Yes, yes, your cooking is amazing,…

“Action!” At Mr. Gardner’s cue, I took off across the campus, my breath steady as a steadicam operator fell into stride beside me. Renting the rig and hiring someone skilled enough to handle it had been expensive, but it was an expense I couldn’t cut. I had a very specific vision for this scene, and without a steadicam, it simply wouldn’t work. Some things were non-negotiable, even on a micro-budget. Every other outdoor scene had already been shot. This was the last one, held back only…- 259.9 K • Ongoing
- May 2009, New York City, USA “Ladies and gentlemen, Troy Armitage!” I walked out through the studio doors with a bright smile on my face. The in-house band sat to my left, just by the edge of the stage. Beyond them was the sea of faces that made up my audience for the night. The moment my name was announced, the crowd erupted into thunderous applause that echoed across the studio. I waved as I stepped to the center of the stage. “Thank you,” I said, though my voice was almost lost beneath…

- The End of a Magical Era Is the Most Beautiful Thing You Can See in a Theater By Rod Meyer The New York Post is the best thing you can watch at the movies this year. After experiencing it in 3D, I felt like the film was made with a checklist in hand, delivering the best possible experience in every department. From acting and direction to sound design, VFX, makeup, costumes, set design, action, editing, cinematography, and music, the movie excels across the board. I wouldn’t be surprised if…

- AN: On public demand, I have changed the names of the twins to Atlas and Damian. This is final. _________________________________ I held the little baby close to my chest for the first time, and without anyone saying a word, tears filled my eyes. The world seemed too narrow to the warm weight in my arms. The lingering smell of baby products on his skin and the impossibly soft rhythm of his breathing against my heart were intoxicating. Atlas and Damian had finally grown enough that we were allowed…

- “I’ll miss you.” Daisy hugged me tightly for what felt like the hundredth time that morning, her fingers bunching into the back of my jacket as if she could anchor me in place. “Why do you have to go back at all?” “It’s just for a few months,” I assured her, rubbing her back gently. The airport moved around us with rolling suitcases and distant boarding announcements, but in that moment, it felt strangely quiet. “Once I’m done shooting that film, I’ll be back in LA, and this time…
