“Noah, sit on the hood of the car and give me that high-fashion look, like all this doesn’t matter to you at all.” I slid onto the hood of the Porsche 911 and got comfortable. Thanks to years of modelling, this felt right in my comfort zone. I looked toward the camera, but slightly to the left, to make it seem like I was indifferent to its presence. “Perfect!” the man shouted excitedly as he continued taking photos of me in the same position from different angles. I had already shot…- 231.0 K • Ongoing
- “If there’s one thing I hope you take away from today’s lesson, it’s that there are no painless solutions in this world, only trade-offs. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either campaigning for elections… or hasn’t done the assigned reading, as you’re about to do this weekend.” I couldn’t stop the amused snort that escaped me, and half the students were in the same boat. It helped that our professor was one of the coolest on campus. “See you all next week.” Everyone seemed…

- “Hey, is it okay if I invite Silvie over?” I asked, loosening my tie as Al and I walked inside the house. He opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle of beer. “Which one is she?” I grinned. “She’s the one with the brown hair… and that rack.” I motioned at my pecs to indicate the most distinguishing feature of hers. Al gave me a judging look for all of two seconds before shaking his head. “No.” “What do you mean, no?” I asked, my demeanor shifting slightly from happy to…

Rod Meyer glanced down at his watch, only to reel back in surprise. Nearly 2 hours and 45 minutes had already passed since the movie began. Most films would have wrapped up by now, yet this one still had several major plot points left to cover. The strange thing was that not for a second had Rod felt bored or thought the film was too long. He didn’t have time to dwell on that thought because the movie, aided by its tight editing, immediately surged back into motion. This time, the perspective…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- “Thank you for coming here to see me,” I said, shaking hands with the man in front of me. John Landis gave me a nod. “It’s okay. I’ll do anything for my film. It’s my baby.” There was something in the way he said it that made me feel a little uncomfortable in his presence. Nonetheless, I indicated for him to take a seat on the couch opposite me. “So,” I began after a few moments of silence, “Why do I have a feeling that you came here not just to discuss the script with…

- I sat across from my soon-to-be agent and carefully read through the contract she’d handed me. It didn’t take me long to get through the pages. “Honestly, I didn’t expect the reason for you not signing me up to be this,” I said, motioning around at her new office, which looked nothing like her old one. And thank God she didn’t insist on representing me back then. For if she had, I would have lost out on a good chunk of my profits from the backend deal I had subsequently signed with Sean…

- “Please welcome the biggest superstar on the planet. One of the best singers working in the industry right now, and the recipient of multiple Oscars, Grammys, Tonys, and Emmys. Troy Armitage, everyone!” The studio exploded the moment my name was announced. I walked out from behind the curtain, lights flooding the stage as the band struck up its familiar tune. I waved enthusiastically at the crowd, their cheers crashing over me in a wall of sound. The standing ovation was honestly a little too…

- I woke up after what felt like a very long, deep sleep. Yesterday’s run-in with a future superstar had left me reeling. Would he even become a superstar now that I had taken for myself? Even though I was exhausted, my brain was working overtime, thinking about Tom Cruise and the implications of taking one of his iconic roles. Should I feel some sort of guilt for taking the role away from him? I didn’t. Every film I’d done until now, whether it was or , had originally gone to someone else. By…

- The moment I saw her, I knew who she was. She was a future Oscar winner and one of the greatest British actresses of her generation. Not to mention a brilliant writer and a very funny comedienne. Emma Thompson. “I’m so sorry for being late,” she apologized. “I mixed up the timing for this audition with another one.” “Unfortunately for you, we’re done here for today,” John said sternly. “You can come back tomorrow...” “John,” I interrupted before he could finish,…

- The movie opened with the characters played by Steve Carell and Julianne Moore on a dinner date together. Steve's character asked his wife what she wanted for dessert, and she responded with something completely unexpected. “I want a divorce.” What seemed like a happy couple suddenly found their marriage falling apart. The strange part was that Cal, Steve's character, never even tried to convince her not to go through with it. He agreed almost immediately. He didn't even ask for a…
