Sitting in his director's chair, Tim sucks at his teeth, trying to dislodge something he'd had for lunch. Jim lets out a long sigh, tired of fiddling with the setting on his video camera. Kim, sitting at the foot of the stairs in her old cyan-blue prom dress, rolls her eyes in annoyance. It had taken half of the day to set up this shot...twenty whole seconds of Kim sauntering down the stairs to greet her prom date. The stand-in actor, just some nobody they'd hired via the local actors guild, only has a single line of dialogue...the bulk of the sequence is to be shot POV-style in a rental limousine.
He, however, is either running late...three hours late...or isn't coming at all.
Kim: Seriously, why couldn't we get... What's his name? The original guy.
Tim: Who, Eric? Moved to L.A., changed his name, married some animator, and fell off the planet.
Jim: I heard he went into podcasting.
Tim: Urgh. Washed-up child actor turns to gate-kept commentary. What every other actor does when the studios aren't calling anymore.
Kim: Said the semi-successful adult filmmaker...and former child actor.
Read the story and watch KP ditch the prom dress...at the $5 tier level. :D
