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…- 165.3 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-49
It surprised Al Pacino to learn that a mere 18-year-old had written such an impressive story. When Noah left the script for him that day, Al had been irritated. It wasn’t the first time an acquaintance had tried to corner him into working together, and he was usually very good at shutting those attempts down. Still, there was something about Noah that stirred his curiosity. If the boy had managed to sell a script to Columbia and earn enough money to buy a house right next to his, he couldn’t be…- 165.3 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-38
“If you’ll all give me your attention.” Sean Cunningham raised a champagne glass high above his head. The room quieted almost instantly. Everyone turned towards him. Even I did the same, surprised to see how relaxed he looked. Sean was usually tight-shouldered and restless, always pacing or double checking something, so seeing him loose and smiling felt strange. I guess what they say about the filmmaking business is true. It’s a tiring job that wears people down. “I couldn’t have made…- 165.3 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-37
“You look a little worried,” I said to Adrienne while we waited for the crew to finish setting up the next scene. “You weren’t even this tense when we shot the sex scene.” I’d already wrapped my part of the sequence after my dramatic death, but Adrienne still had hours to go. She was naked and drenched in sticky red paint that clung to her skin like dried syrup. I figured a joke might lighten the mood. It was apparently the wrong choice. Adrienne shot me a glare. “Of course I’m…- 165.3 K • Ongoing

“Why are you so tense?” Jeannine asked. I was pushing my dinner around my plate instead of eating it. She leaned closer, her voice dropping to a whisper. “Still thinking about what happened on the set today?” “How can I not?” I replied. “More than that, I’m thinking about what will happen tomorrow.” The shoot with Jeannine had taken much longer than we anticipated. The original schedule was to film her scene and Laurie’s on the same day, saving the more technical scene with…- 165.3 K • Ongoing

Warning: NSFW content (aka smut) ahead. Sean entered the room, carefully and slowly, making sure not to spook us by any sudden movement. “Are you kids ready?” “As ready as I’ll ever be,” I said, my tone bland and devoid of any real enthusiasm. The old cabin didn’t have any air-conditioning, and Sean didn’t have the budget to install it for the production. The summer heat, when added to nerves, made sure my body was glistening with sweat. And that was when I wore nothing underneath…- 165.3 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-34
“You seem oddly happy today,” Sean noted the moment I walked onto the set. His voice carried that mix of suspicion and amusement that only a director could manage before a long shoot. I grinned mischievously and shrugged. “Just had a great sleep last night. Nothing else.” Beside me, Kevin Bacon let out a dramatic scoff. “Oh, really? Because from what I could hear, you didn’t sleep at all. And because of you, none of us could either.” I blinked, caught off guard, and turned to look at…- 165.3 K • Ongoing

“Oh,” Jeannine blinked a few times, a teasing glint quickly replacing her surprise. “You should have told me we were skinny dipping. And here I went through the trouble of changing into my bathing suit.” “I’m so sorry, Jean,” I said. “It is just that, during my last film, I used to skinny dip a lot in the ocean. I got used to the freedom of it. And since no one else was coming…” I stopped mid-sentence as she pulled off her bikini top and threw it directly into my face. I hurriedly…- 165.3 K • Ongoing

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…- 165.3 K • Ongoing

I stepped into the store after deliberating about it for days. The place was quiet, almost too quiet, which made sense considering how niche the product I was after was. “Whoa,” Peter murmured beside me, spinning around slowly as his eyes widened in awe. “I think we’ve come to the right place to find you a camera.” “I think so too,” I said, equally taken aback by the rows of cameras lined neatly along the glass shelves. Every wall was filled with vintage bodies and gleaming lenses, some…- 165.3 K • Ongoing
