STS Ch-95
Roger chuckled at the scene, for this was the final turning point in his life. Nothing could be worse than the situation he was in. So he goes to Mia and agrees to her proposition of doing business at their place for a night. He throws a big party at his place, only for boys and escorts. All the teenaged suburban boys have quite a bit of cash stored in bonds, which they cash in to spend the night with the girls. Josh does the marketing for their enterprise, going to different guys and selling them on…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

“It’s always great to talk to you, Roger, Gene,” Noah greeted the duo of film critics who had been invited to the New York premiere by Columbia Pictures. “The pleasure is all ours,” Roger Ebert replied for both of them. “Though, if I’m honest, I would’ve preferred to see you in the directing seat. I’m still in awe of what you accomplished with on a fraction of the budget of any big-budget blockbuster movie, while still outperforming most of the movies released this year.” Noah…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

“Noah! Care to give us a comment about your sex scandal?” “Do you like having sex on a public beach?!” “Are you a nudist?” “Does it turn you on to have other people watch you in the act?” “Who was that girl you made a woman out of?” A million other deliberately provocative questions were thrown my way, and I won’t lie, their strategy was working. I was this close to reaching out and punching someone in the teeth for shouting such bullshit while I was getting…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-52
“Well?” Bobbie prodded gently after a few seconds of silence. Julie hadn’t said a word, her hands folded tightly in her lap under the lights. I decided to answer for her. “I don’t know about Julie, but my father was furious when he found out.” Bobbie turned to me, curiosity flickering across her face. “Because of the nudity?” I shook my head. “Not really. Dad doesn’t like acting in general. He doesn’t think it’s a great profession. Or at least that’s what he used to think…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-51
I sat across from my soon-to-be agent and carefully read through the contract she’d handed me. It didn’t take me long to get through the pages. “Honestly, I didn’t expect the reason for you not signing me up to be this,” I said, motioning around at her new office, which looked nothing like her old one. And thank God she didn’t insist on representing me back then. For if she had, I would have lost out on a good chunk of my profits from the backend deal I had subsequently signed with Sean…- 278.0 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…- 278.0 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…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-48
I cut cleanly through the water until I reached the end of the lane, flipped into a smooth turn, and powered back toward the starting block. As I touched the wall, my teammate launched himself forward to face swimmers from the other Ivy League schools. As good a swimmer as I was, there was nothing more I could do once my leg of the relay ended. If I really wanted to, I could temporarily boost my teammates, the same way I had helped Julie while filming The Blue Lagoon. But that would’ve been pushing…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

“Tell me honestly, kid, did you really write it by yourself?” Al Pacino asked, wonder creeping into his voice as he studied my face. I nodded, a grin spreading across my face. “Of course. I just had this idea while I was writing my first script. I made a few major mistakes in it, which meant I had to do some serious rewrites. At some point, I started wondering what it would be like if I could go back in time and do it all again. Then I thought, what if I made another mistake the second time too? I…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-46
In the end, I didn’t have to call my childhood friends over to help me out. I hadn’t expected the entire VES department to fight for a spot on my crew, but in hindsight, of course, they wanted in. “Noah.” A girl stood right in front of me, her posture rigid and her eyes blazing with determination. “I’ll be your cinematographer on this film,” she said. “That’s final.” I blinked, caught completely off guard. I’d barely stepped into the VES classroom and hadn’t even said…- 278.0 K • Ongoing
