“Do you agree to these conditions as laid out by this contract and the remuneration of $250,000?” A judge asked me with an almost incredulous expression on his face. Asshole. He didn’t have to state my compensation for the Sixth Sense out loud. He was probably jealous that I, a 9-year-old, was earning from this movie more than what he probably earned for an entire year. Steve and Kathy took quite some time negotiating my remuneration with the producers. At first, they were offering me only…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

My case worker left after accompanying me inside the house that was situated in Greenwich. It was a modest two story house in a quiet neighborhood. My room was on the second floor with a bed, a desk and a closet. Nice enough for my current requirements. “You like it, kid?” A male voice came from the door. I turned and saw my new guardian Steve leaning against the door. Now that I take in his appearance properly, he was a man on the chubbier side with a resting bitch face. Yeah, the…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

I looked over at the bustling set, where everyone seemed too busy doing something—everyone but me.“Got your script for the day?”I turned to my left and saw my mother standing beside me, watching me curiously. This was the first time in many years we had been on set together where she wasn’t just visiting. She looked completely at ease here, the confident grin on her face making that clear.“Yeah,” I replied. “I’ve memorized it too. I’m a little nervous about it, but still, I have a feeling…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

January 2007, Vancouver, Canada“Action!”As soon as the command was issued, Emily, as Bella, walked onto the classroom set beside the actor who played Mike Newton.“Oh yes, Ms. Swan,” the teacher acknowledged her quietly, just as Emily walked in front of the only fan in the room. Her eyes were locked on Rob, who was playing a broody emo teen vampire, but as soon as the fan blew Emily’s hair in Rob’s direction, he held his nose as if his life depended on it.Emily became self-conscious and looked…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

Dick Parsons sat at the head of the sleek conference table, his fingers lightly drumming against the polished wood as he observed the young actor across from him. Troy looked tired—maybe from the charged performance he’d given, or maybe for some other reason.One thing was certain: Dick was in awe of Troy’s acting ability. The way he shed his boy-next-door image and transformed into a psychotic villain within minutes was nothing short of commendable. Not that Dick would say it to his face—he had no…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

“I really loved your work, Bobby,” I said with a grin, sliding an envelope across the coffee table in my parents' living room. “Consider this a token of my appreciation.”When he didn’t immediately open it, I nudged him. “Go on, open it.”As soon as he saw the figure inside, his eyes widened comically. “Are you sure this is the right amount? This is my entire annual salary.”“Consider it an advance bonus for the year,” I said confidently. “You know how my earnings work—sometimes I…- 965.9 K • Ongoing

Jason glanced at the girl beside him, noticing how tense she seemed.“It’s okay, it’s just a movie, sis,” he said softly. “Even if we don’t get tickets right now, we’ll get them for tomorrow.”“You don’t understand, Jason!” Mira shot back, her tone heated. “I’m not some stupid fangirl watching this film just for Troy’s sake. I’m watching it because I’m a cinephile, and that guy cannot be in a bad movie. The rave reviews this film got more than prove my point. I can’t wait…- 965.9 K • Ongoing
