This is a story about Anna, an ambitious storyteller who finally learns that opening up about her preferences, her interests and her culture in her personal and professional relationships might be more important than her ego.
Opening up the YouTube she feels allured by the shows and the interests and the performances that have played their part in her almost breaking-up mode with her boyfriend, Mark.
American Idol, America's Got Talent, writer's room in TV studios and plenty of examples around art and culture have forged her by being the continuous choices in her professional endeavors.
Walking away from Mark's worldview boosted by the bodification of emotions, she will seek of creative luck. What does the future hold for her?
INT. LA CALIFORNIA VILLA – SLEEPING ROOM – DAY
ANNA, an ambitious storyteller has just woken up in her room and watches TV. Opening up the YouTube she feels allured by the shows and the interests and the performances that have played their part in her almost breaking-up mode with her boyfriend, MARK.
ANNA
(looking angry and disappointed)
Boys, boys, boys… Such a jerk!
Anna watches the audition of a 17 years old girl in America’s Got Talent, singing and playing the piano simultaneously that gifted her the golden buzzer. After a few moments the phone rings. It’s Mark.
MARK
Hey, what’s up girl? Changed your mind? Wanna hear me now?
Anna tries to get up while holding the phone.
ANNA
I’ve been a witness of your mentality for years Mark… What makes you think you come first now?
MARK
I’m just missing of what we had… You drove me nuts with your world, Anna…!
ANNA
(abrupt and outrageous)
Keep thinking you have a world asshole…! End of story…
Anna hangs up the phone as she eventually breaks up. She stands up while putting on her clothes.
ΕΧΤ. CALIFORNIA – VILLA GARDEN – DAY
Anna is having her breakfast while her best friend, ELIZA is enjoying a cocktail lying onto their hammock.
ELIZA
(a little bit sarcastic)
You did everything you could again, Anna, right?!
ANNA
As you fall in love, or making friends you become a witness of their culture, their worldview, if you get my point…
ELIZA
(a little bit ironic)
So, it must definitely be American Idol?
ANNA
The same it goes with mobile phones, the same it goes with platforms and data entry, the same it goes with art exhibitions, the same it goes with model shows, theater, it’s always the same with anything that goes against their economistic perception, or worse, their own anatomy and negligence towards culture. Sometimes I believe they got some money and started to shit everyone…
ELIZA
Of course it’s so as long as you correlate him with yourself! Must you be the same?
ANNA
(losing control)
Forget it! We broke up now…
ELIZA
(skeptic)
I truly hope you will find what you search for, Anna, one day…
Anna finishes her breakfast and leaves the house.
INT. LA - TV WRITER’S ROOM – AFTERNOON
Anna works in the development of a TV pilot together with directors and producers and becomes the receiver of angry feedback from management.
DIRECTOR
You don’t need to become Whitney Houston to mirror interests and preferences in your scripts…
MANAGER
Hold on a second, JOHNNY (DIRECTOR). My biggest criticism – reflecting your art as well - is that unless you open up your interests to what’s truly inside your heart, you shouldn’t be expecting of breakthroughs in Hollywood or TV…!
ANNA
I guess my character should open up artistically, right?
DIRECTOR
(Winking)
You got it kiddo!
EXT. LA RED-CARPET EVENT – PREMIERE TIME – NIGHT
Anna and the production crew of their musical “He’s going Hollywood” are celebrating their premiere posing excited at photographers. There’s electricity in the atmosphere as well as gossiping the performance with endorsements.
ANNA
It’s been a long road, folks! Do you believe it?
DIRECTOR
This film will reap awards in the future, you bet it!
Spectators of the event as well as teen audience cheerfully scream and are being pushed to get autographs. There’s a majestic view of Anna smiling with satisfaction in her ballgown while signing autographs.
INT. LA – VILLA – LIVING ROOM – AFTERNOON
Anna and Eliza discuss in Anna’s home by making a journey of consciousness in terms of their personal and professional relationships and successes. They look calm and thoughtful.
ELIZA
Always remember it was these wars that revealed the true face of yours, Anna…!
ANNA
No matter what it costed, right?
ELIZA
(looking reluctant)
Well I can’t fully agree with you, though… When you make criticism, you better look yourself in the mirror. Cos they will always judge your ego and not just what you believe.
ANNA
It’s my time to disagree now, I guess… Being work-centered with a career holding pattern is 1-dimensional when it comes to movies and Hollywood. We’d better search for ourselves in the ‘area of destiny’…
ELIZA
(giggling)
Eventually you learned to win, didn’t you?
The two women hug each other with satisfaction.
FADE OUT.
