STS Ch-80
“Oi! Wanker! I need those lights o’er here!” A man came rushing over with the lights toward the first AD, who was coordinating the crew on set. “Did he just call a crew member a wanker?” Tom asked in bewilderment. I shrugged. “Could be his nickname or something. I really don't wanna ask.” Tom laughed and shook his head. We admired the view of Northern England spread out before us. Away from the bustling environment of a big city like London, this was the real deal. Sure, the…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

“It’s always great to talk to you, Roger, Gene,” Noah greeted the duo of film critics who had been invited to the New York premiere by Columbia Pictures. “The pleasure is all ours,” Roger Ebert replied for both of them. “Though, if I’m honest, I would’ve preferred to see you in the directing seat. I’m still in awe of what you accomplished with on a fraction of the budget of any big-budget blockbuster movie, while still outperforming most of the movies released this year.” Noah…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-32
It was always thrilling to watch how the different elements of filmmaking came together, each one resonating with the other to create a perfect scene. The set decorators, costume and makeup teams, lighting technicians, sound designers, and cinematographers, all of them played a vital role. When those efforts are combined with a strong story, sharp direction, and solid performances, the result could either make or break a film. The job of a director was truly demanding. Before stepping into the film…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-44
“If markets are supposed to aggregate information, then a lot of what we call market failure looks more like an information failure. The price is wrong because the knowledge behind it is incomplete.” I finished answering the question my economics professor had posed to the class, one that no one else had managed to satisfy him with. I wasn’t entirely sure this was the response he’d been fishing for, but I knew one thing for certain. Everything I’d said was factually correct. “Perfect!”…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

December 2010, USA Patty stared at her screen restlessly, refreshing the page every few seconds. “You know, refreshing the page won’t change the timer,” Claire commented idly from behind her. “The video will still be released in ten minutes. No need to keep refreshing it.” Patty turned to her friend, a little incensed. “Do you have any idea how long it’s been since one of Troy’s songs was released? And this time it’s with Rihanna. ‘Closer’ and ‘We Don’t Talk Anymore’…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

How the hell would he play Josh? He's too... cool. I need a lovable nerd for that role, not a guy who spends half his time at the gym. He could play Christian if he wanted to. Maybe even Elton, but Josh? Hell no. Ugh. Not again. I was already starting to hate the casting industry. Brad Pitt was undoubtedly one of the most handsome men of this era, yet I didn't see casting directors turning him down for roles. So why did my appearance irk them so much? I realized my mistake as soon as I looked down…- 31.2 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-81
The movie began with Noah Hunter waking up in bed with a start. He didn't seem to be wearing anything, but a sheet covered him from the waist down. He rubbed his face tiredly before looking at the other side of the bed, where an equally naked redhead was lying on her stomach. Only her back was visible, and her lower half was similarly covered by a sheet. “Shit!” he cursed out loud, and then the movie went into a flashback. “Bill!” one of Noah's friends called out to the protagonist and…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-95
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…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

CG Ch-11
I typed furiously on my computer, trying to make each scene as cinematic as possible. That's a big part of adapting a book into a movie. Some things that work really well on paper and feel gritty can simply make viewers uncomfortable on screen. Like this one scene I’m working on currently where the male protagonist was almost violated by a trucker. Yeah, no one wants to see that. Instead, he can become a hero by saving a girl from a similar situation. I know it’s a little sexist, but that’s…- 31.2 K • 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…- 278.0 K • Ongoing
