DOS Ch-297
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…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“I don’t understand why they even have an intermission during a Broadway show,” Austin muttered impatiently, tapping his foot against the floor as they stood in line at the snack counter. The lobby was filled with chatter of other theater-goers, though unlike the movies, the crowd seemed a little more sophisticated. “If there were no intermission, we wouldn’t be here waiting for snacks. The show’s barely two hours long. Most movies are longer than that. They could easily finish it in one go if…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

STS Ch-60
“What do you mean she’s not good for this role?” I asked, barely stopping myself from shouting at the director. “The moment she started acting, it felt like she was made for this part. And she’s tall too, just like you wanted.” Paul leaned back in his chair and shook his head slowly. “I can’t say it with certainty. I just didn’t like her. Not once did she look me or anyone else in the eye. That’s not the sign of a good actor.” Samuel Rivers, the studio executive sitting in on…- 236.1 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-50
“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…- 236.1 K • Ongoing

“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…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“I want to make a feature-length film for this year’s assignment,” I said, keeping my voice steady as I sat across from my film teacher. “I’ve got my own camera and sound equipment that I brought with me to Harvard, so that part shouldn’t be a problem.” Mr. Gardner leaned back in his chair and inclined his head, considering me over the rim of his glasses. “Usually, students go for the two short films. Ever since this class started, only one student tried making a thirty-minute film…- 236.1 K • Ongoing

July 2008, New York City, NY, USA “You’ve been oddly quiet ever since ’s premiere,” Scarlett pointed out with a raised eyebrow. “Everything okay?” “Nothing serious, it’s just me being stupid,” I replied. “Do you...believe in fate?” She gave me a confused look. “Fate?” “Yeah,” I nodded. “Like, everything is pre-destined and you will do what’s written for you to do.” She thought about it for a moment before nodding. “I hadn’t given it much thought, but…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

The video opened with grainy, black-and-white security footage. A man approached a guard seated at a checkpoint. Without warning, the man raised a handgun and fired directly into the guard’s chest. The guard collapsed instantly. Mason recoiled in shock. The footage jumped to a second camera angle, showing the same man now inside the estate grounds, moving with grim determination, his weapon raised, ready to fire again. He encountered another guard, who instinctively stepped back in…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“Hollywood ignores all boundaries of propriety.” When I picked up this month’s edition of Rolling Stone, I wasn’t prepared for the shock that awaited me. The cover was startlingly bold, almost confrontational. It featured two teenage stars of the film , barely adults, posing with hardly any clothes on. The glossy paper and oversized headline only amplified the audacity of it. As I turned the pages and took in the full spread, my disbelief curdled into anger. I was appalled by how far Rolling…- 236.1 K • Ongoing

“So what do you think?” I asked after narrating the entire character background of Black Widow. “It’s an… interesting character for sure,” Scarlett conceded after a few moments. “Honestly, though, I would prefer that movie over .” I frowned slightly. “Why?” She shrugged. “I just have a feeling. And no offence, but most of the female superheroes in comics are hyper-sexualized. I mean, just look at , the lady fights villains in a bra and a miniskirt. If I were offered that…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
