DOS Ch-264
September 2008, Leavesden Studios, London, U.K. “Stupefy!” I shouted, pointing my wand directly at Imelda Staunton, who played Umbridge. She froze mid-motion, her body going limp as the spell struck. The set lights cast a dramatic glow over her falling figure. In one swift motion, Emma darted forward and snatched the Horcrux locket from around her neck. A polyjuiced Ron, played by a different actor, fired stunning spells in every direction, covering us as the chaos of the Ministry set exploded…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

Ring Ring“Hello?” Mum answered the phone in our living room, “Yes, this is his mother, Kathy.”She paused for a moment before a blinding smile lit up her face. “Oh, that’s wonderful news. Of course, we can come down to discuss terms. Tomorrow? Yes, that’s doable.”As soon as she put down the phone, she gave me the beaming smile she usually did. “You got the part!”Although it was the third movie I’d be doing and the second movie involving an audition, I still felt elated at the…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

Benji Cooper was sick of his school. He was always the odd one out, and the last person to be selected in any event, be it sports, academic projects, or something artsy. He just didn’t get along with kids his age. Not to mention, his school had a little bullying problem that he found himself on the wrong end of sometimes.But all that could be easily forgotten when he did what he loved: watching movies. It was an escape from reality for him, living in the world of movies that took him anywhere from…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

These last few weeks had been a little hectic for me because of all the promotions I was doing for . Now that the film is done and dusted, I could actually focus on something I love. Acting. Sure, rehearsals were not exactly acting, but they were an equally important part of the process. If your rehearsals are solid, your performance will come out to be great. They are especially necessary for a small-budget film like . For something like , we had the budget to reshoot if the first performance didn’t…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

The three men sitting in front of me, all wearing confident grins, made it clear that this negotiation wouldn’t be easy.“I think half a million would be the perfect remuneration for you,” David Friendly, the man on the far left, said. He was in his fifties, with a stocky build and a round face.“Absolutely,” Peter Saraf, seated in the middle, agreed. He looked similar to David in terms of age and build. “You know we only have an $8 million budget after accounting for state subsidies. So half a…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

STS Ch-5
As soon as I heard the name of the film, I recognized it. I had seen the original version, and it was…terrible. There’s no other word for it. The plot revolved around two young teenagers stranded on an island, with little to no clothing, skinny-dipping, falling in love, making love, and eventually having a child. The man who wrote the story must have been a pedophile to conceive such a plot. The same could be said for anyone who wanted to make a movie about it. The acting by the two leads was…- 259.9 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-13
The plan Randal had come up with looked good on the surface. Genius, even. Take two immature teens who were very clearly attracted to each other and use one to get the other to do what you wanted. There was just one thing Randal hadn’t accounted for: my business savviness. Sure, I wasn’t some Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos-level mastermind, but I liked to think I knew enough about the world to see through schemes like that. The little act Randal and I pulled back on the street, him pretending to leave…- 259.9 K • Ongoing

“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!”…- 259.9 K • Ongoing

“Unfortunately, I have some bad news for you, Caleb.” He is the perfect actor for this film. Had I not already committed to Leo, I might have even cast Caleb in the lead role. The only problem is that he's way too good. Seeing them together, I can easily imagine him overshadowing Leo, especially in the looks department. Leo doesn't realize it now because he's not looking at it objectively. But the moment he sees both of them together in a replay, I know he'll throw a fit. It's better to go with a…- 31.2 K • Ongoing
