The game was over, and Veterans Memorial Stadium was starting to empty. The flash interview with the star of the night, Andrew, had already wrapped up. Right now, Andrew was in the locker room with the rest of the team.
Outside, near the main entrance, students and families mingled: players’ relatives and others who h...

Owen and Sophie made the popcorn, turned off the lights, and sat together on the couch. Owen opened Netflix and hit play on the movie.
The Name of the Wind (2021) was directed by David Lowery, a filmmaker who debuted with his first feature in 2009, and this film is without a doubt his most successful, commercially, arti...

Andrew, still holding his helmet and with his sweat-soaked uniform, had barely managed to slip away from the euphoria of his teammates. The cheerleaders were still celebrating, pom-poms high in the air, the band kept playing non-stop, the camera flashes wouldn’t stop, and the stadium roared with the last chants from the Mat...

Sophie arrived right at seven, just as she had promised. Owen was already waiting in the apartment, freshly showered, wearing a light gray rolled-up shirt, his hair still damp. As soon as he saw her, a smile slipped out.
“Your mother let you out dressed like that?” he asked, seeing her in a tight black tank top, bla...

“Was that real!?” Eric shouted, almost at the same time Alison had said it seconds earlier.
“I don’t know! It must have been scripted,” said Matt, who was no longer slouched in his chair but sitting upright.

The first one to step through the door was Alison, one of the only two extras in the film, who had definitely spared no effort in her personal presentation.
She wore a one-piece black dress with a plunging neckline at the front and a skirt short enough to draw attention. Her makeup was flawless, and her loose hair, styl...

Owen gave Sophie five days so she would have time to memorize her lines. He was also open if she wanted to rehearse in a group with Matt, the director, to practice key scenes, work on their chemistry, and make adjustments in the direction.
During those days, Matt continued preparing the house. Together with Owen, they i...

“Before we begin, I want to ask a few questions,” Margaret said in a serious tone.
“Of course, go ahead,” Owen replied calmly.
“What is the movie exactly about? I know it’s horror, but I want details,” Margaret said. From the few scenes they had sent her daughter to perform, she couldn’t figure out...

Owen and Matt went through résumé after résumé, the same with the reels. Only two more applicants were left before they had to make a decision.
Owen wasn’t disappointed with the résumés and reels he had seen so far, but he wasn’t excited either. He hadn’t found an actress who truly impressed him, who made hi...

After leaving his parents’ house, Henry walked toward Owen’s car parked in the driveway: a 2018 BMW 3 Series in dark blue.
The exterior was dull, covered in a fine layer of dust that robbed it of its potential shine. When he opened the door, the stench of old food and what seemed like a long-spilled coffee flooded h...
