Evan was excited. It was the last day of filming his very first film. True, he hadn’t directed the film himself as he wanted to, but he’d written the script and directed a few songs for it. For now, that was more than enough. Usually, he didn’t skip classes to go to the set, but today was different. He had gotten permission from his foster parents to witness the final day of filming. With his current plan, he would be eligible to direct his first ...

“I just want to talk to her, Jackie,” Troy said emphatically.

“And I told you that she is studying for her mock exams,” Emma’s mother retorted. “Why can’t you come back in a few weeks when she’s done with all her exams rather than disturbing her right now with…whatever this is?”

From what Emma could gather, her mother wasn’t too happy with Troy at the moment and wasn’t shy about showing her disapproval. With the way their breakup had affected Emma, it made ...

Hello, my lovely patrons!

I made a big mistake in posting of chapters. Before I went on a break, I had planned the events of Chapter 123 as I have just posted now. I had even written part of the chapter. Somehow, I remembered that I had already posted that chapter so I avoided its events. A reader pointed out that something was missing. I went back to re-read the chapters and realized quickly my mistake. The part of the chapter that I had written was also deleted somehow, so I rewrote...

The ride back home was tense and filled with silence. I wanted to say so much to Emily, but the words wouldn’t come. What could I even say to her? I had no idea. From the way she kept glancing at me out of the corner of her eye, I knew she had sensed that something had shifted between us.

When the car finally stopped at our destination, I got out as quickly as I could. I wanted to head straight to my room to avoid any uncomfortable conversatio...

Poll for a new story

First of all, let me clarify that the upload schedule of Dreams of Stardom will not change at all. I will still release four chapters a week.

You may think, why is he even thinking about a new story and why not write more chapters per week for the current one? And you would be correct. The problem is that I am human as well and it's very likely that I will burn out if I keep pumping out chapters of the same story on a daily basis. A new story would be perfect for me to get those creativ...

The shooting for the day was yet to begin, and since we were filming outdoors, I decided to check some of my financials in the meantime. The report from my business manager, Andrew Cohen, had been more than encouraging. Thanks to my active involvement in Crocs, their business was booming. The 2004 revenue had already reached $250 million, and it would almost certainly cross $500 million in 2005. I laughed inwardly, knowing that the company founders were probably regretting their lack of fores...

“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.”

Benji Cooper felt more than pumped to see Troy’s new film. While he had been in contact with Troy, it was difficult to talk to him regularly because they were in different time zones. It didn’t help that Troy was super busy most of the time and could hardly spare more than a few minutes to chat. Seeing Troy’s first non-Harry Potter movie in four years was an event Benji couldn’t miss.

It had been difficult for him to get the tickets, but he eventually succeeded. Reading comments...

“Don’t be nervous,” Tobias said gently as Diana held his arm tightly. “This is something most people go through sooner or later. Believe me, everything will be alright. 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 re...

I'm back!

Hello dear readers!

The title says it all. I'm back here after a month long hiatus due to my exams, and now I'll be posting regular updates again. I had planned to release three back to back chapters, but a few friends of mine are dragging my hermit self on a weekend long holiday. I only have two advanced chapters written, so I will be posting the next one on Sunday after today because that one is very raw and needs some polishing.

Here's today's update:

“And the Grand Jury Prize for a Dramatic film goes to [Brick],” 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 [Brick] and I leapt to our feet, applauding as our director, Rian Johnson, took the stage to accept his well-deserved win. Unlike the Oscars, at most film festivals, the award for best film is given to the director rather than the producer, so I stayed in the audience. ...

Important Announcement

Hi!

It is with great sadness that I have to tell you that I'll be pausing this page's subscription for a month. As you probably already know from one of my previous posts, I am a student who has exams coming up next month.

Unfortunately, Patreon doesn't give me the option to pause membership for a part of the month or I may have chosen that. Nonetheless, this will give me more time to prepare for my exams and dedicate more time to writing from next month on.

To those who don...

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 Sixth Sense]. 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 lik...

“My question is for you, Rian,” a middle-aged lady spoke into the mic. “How does it feel being part of one of the world’s biggest film franchises after a small indie film like [Brick]?”

“I still can’t believe they’re letting me do this,” Rian Johnson said with a chuckle. “This feels like a big elaborate dream. I couldn’t thank Troy and Steve enough for recommending me to Warner Bros. for t...

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. Her mom had talked to a designer friend to rent a dress for a few days, but even that was costing more than what Emily received for shooting [Brick]. 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 h...
