March 2005, Kloves Residence, London“I swear, I’m not producing another movie for years to come,” I said with utmost seriousness. “At least not with so much of my direct involvement in the process. I don’t know what I would have done had you not helped me with this, Dad.”“Now you’re just being dramatic,” Dad replied. “I’m sure you would’ve been fine. At most it would have been postponed a little because of Tobias’ absence.”That was sort of true. Because of his sister’s…- 930.1 K • Ongoing

Honestly, I thought you’d get married way after me, but hey, life has its surprises, right?”Diana took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. She loved Tobias to death, but he was terrible at pep talks.“You wouldn’t say that if you were getting married at 21 because you were pregnant,” she retorted as calmly as she…- 930.1 K • Ongoing

“And the Grand Jury Prize for a Dramatic film goes to ,” announced Robert Redford, founder of the Sundance Film Festival.A wave of elation filled me the moment I heard the verdict. The entire cast and crew of and I leapt to our feet, applauding as our director, Rian Johnson, took the stage to accept his well-deserved win.

Rod Meyer was excited. While he wouldn’t say it out loud, his favorite actor’s film had its premiere at Sundance. He had fought tooth and nail to be the one sent from his office to see the movie and write a review about it.He still remembered the first time he was completely enchanted by Troy Armitage when he saw . The only reason he had not proclaimed Troy to be the next best thing to happen to cinema was that it might sound odd for a grown man to admire a kid like that. If that wasn’t enough, Troy…- 930.1 K • Ongoing

Emily felt overdressed. Looking down at her beautiful floor-length royal blue dress, she couldn’t help but feel like an impostor. She couldn’t have afforded that dress even in her dreams.

Then Troy came like a knight in shining armor and hooked her up with a designer who got her a new dress. Emily hadn’t even mentioned the dress issue to him, but Troy just…- 930.1 K • Ongoing

January 2005, Phoenix, ArizonaI took a generous amount of my special blend of face cream and carefully applied it to my skin. I like to think that I’m not that vain, but I have to maintain an image while going out. Although I’m not expecting paparazzi or reporters here in Phoenix, you never know.“I think you are overdoing it for this date,” Tobias commented from behind me.I looked at him through the mirror and said, “It’s not a date. Emily invited me to hang out with a group of her friends. I…- 930.1 K • Ongoing

January 2005, Warner Bros HQ, Burbank, CA“What?” I asked, surprised. I hadn’t expected this at all. The way Barry phrased the question didn’t make any sense. If he wouldn’t accept this proposal, I’d simply go to Universal who gave me the second-best offer.“I have offers from other studios as well if you won’t agree with this,” I said after a few moments.“I know,” Barry nodded knowingly. “I just needed to have a face-to-face chat with you about this. A chat your father would not…- 930.1 K • Ongoing
