STS Ch-59
“That’s a great fucking idea!” Bob exclaimed as we walked side by side through the crowded airport terminal. “It hadn’t even occurred to me that Marty’s mother might see him as a prospective lover. That’ll be a good comedic beat to add to the story.” I nodded, adjusting the strap of my carry-on. “Just make sure you don’t take it too far into weird territory. She’s still his mother.” “Of course,” he agreed quickly. “I was just thinking that I could…” He was cut off…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

~My first love broke my heart for the first time, and I was like Baby, baby, baby, oh Like baby, baby, baby, no Like baby, baby, baby, oh Thought you'd always be mine, mine~ I watched Zoe Kravitz sing with slightly judgmental eyes and raised eyebrows. "Really?" I asked. "You have to sing that one out of all the songs in the world?" Justin Bieber had made his debut with "Baby" only recently, and the song had exploded worldwide. It was one of the biggest debuts any young pop star had…- 1.1 M • Ongoing

May 2009, New York City, USA “Ladies and gentlemen, Troy Armitage!” I walked out through the studio doors with a bright smile on my face. The in-house band sat to my left, just by the edge of the stage. Beyond them was the sea of faces that made up my audience for the night. The moment my name was announced, the crowd erupted into thunderous applause that echoed across the studio. I waved as I stepped to the center of the stage. “Thank you,” I said, though my voice was almost lost beneath…- 1.1 M • Ongoing

“Troy!” Anne Hathaway came running up to me in her Catwoman costume and then did something unexpected. She hugged me. I hugged her back instinctively and said, “Nice to meet you too, Annie. Not that I’m complaining, but did I do something to warrant this hug?” She pulled away with stars in her eyes. “I binged yesterday. The whole season. And I’m absolutely in love with the series. It’s undoubtedly my new favorite TV show right now. I can’t wait for the next season to drop. Please…- 1.1 M • Ongoing

“I don’t understand why they even have an intermission during a Broadway show,” Austin muttered impatiently, tapping his foot against the floor as they stood in line at the snack counter. The lobby was filled with chatter of other theater-goers, though unlike the movies, the crowd seemed a little more sophisticated. “If there were no intermission, we wouldn’t be here waiting for snacks. The show’s barely two hours long. Most movies are longer than that. They could easily finish it in one go if…- 1.1 M • Ongoing

STS Ch-60
“What do you mean she’s not good for this role?” I asked, barely stopping myself from shouting at the director. “The moment she started acting, it felt like she was made for this part. And she’s tall too, just like you wanted.” Paul leaned back in his chair and shook his head slowly. “I can’t say it with certainty. I just didn’t like her. Not once did she look me or anyone else in the eye. That’s not the sign of a good actor.” Samuel Rivers, the studio executive sitting in on…- 297.0 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…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

“Thank you for joining us, Troy,” Christopher Nolan greeted the biggest superstar in their cast genially. “Come on, take a seat, and we can start discussing the movie.” I took the offered seat and smiled at everyone already gathered around the table. Christian Bale, who was sitting beside me, clasped my hand as if we were old friends. Other than him, there were Gary Oldman, Michael Caine, and Morgan Freeman, all reprising their roles from the last movie. But there were some new additions as…- 1.1 M • Ongoing

“I want to make a feature-length film for this year’s assignment,” I said, keeping my voice steady as I sat across from my film teacher. “I’ve got my own camera and sound equipment that I brought with me to Harvard, so that part shouldn’t be a problem.” Mr. Gardner leaned back in his chair and inclined his head, considering me over the rim of his glasses. “Usually, students go for the two short films. Ever since this class started, only one student tried making a thirty-minute film…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-56
“Hollywood ignores all boundaries of propriety.” When I picked up this month’s edition of Rolling Stone, I wasn’t prepared for the shock that awaited me. The cover was startlingly bold, almost confrontational. It featured two teenage stars of the film , barely adults, posing with hardly any clothes on. The glossy paper and oversized headline only amplified the audacity of it. As I turned the pages and took in the full spread, my disbelief curdled into anger. I was appalled by how far Rolling…- 297.0 K • Ongoing
