Chapter 1

The Creation of the True Love

It was a beautiful sunny spring day. It was the 23 of April at 12:15 in the afternoon and it was about 73 degrees outside. There was a young man sitting at a desktop computer and his name is Seth Fredrick. Seth was a tall, skinny man with dark brown hair and brown eyes.

He has been sitting at this computer all day every day since January 14th writing a script that he titled it True Love. Now it is April 23 at 3:45 in the afternoon and he is finished with the Script. Seth was really please with himself. He grabbed a disc from his top right draw of his desk. He put the disc in his computer and saved the script on the disc.

Seth called his agent and told him that he would like to come in and meet with him. Seth’s agents name is Ryan Conway. Mr. Conway told him to come in on the April 24 at 10 in the morning with what he has done on the Script. At that time they would review what he has done then go from there.

They got off the phone at about 4:30 that evening. Seth was really happy because of his appointment and the next step to making his dream come true. Then he called a few friends so they could celebrate the script being completed and the appointment with the agent.

Seth wasn’t going to be out late because he knew that he had to be up early the next morning for his meeting. They went to a small club and had a good time. He left the club about 9:30 and he was home by about 9:40 and went straight bed. Seth’s alarm went off at 7:15 in the morning. He got up and immediately went into the shower. After the shower he went to the closet to see what he should wear, but he had an extremely hard time figuring out what to wear. He decided on a white button down shirt, black dress pants and a black tie. After he got dressed he picked up a brown briefcase and put the disc inside with a legal paid and pens just in case he needed to take notes. Then he was ready so he looked in the mirror to make sure everything was ok, then he walked out the door for his meeting.

He went across town to meet Mr. Conway. He arrived at the office twenty minutes early. When he arrived there he stood at the front door and stared at the sign. It was a plain sign that simply said Agents. He went inside and up the elevator to the third floor and over to the office that belongs to the agent. He walked into the office and noticed all the movie posters hanging up on the wall, there were also posters of novels that belong to his clients.

Seth walked over to the secretary. She was sitting behind a big black desk. She looked up at him and smiled. She began to speak. I am Janis, how can I help you? She said

Hi Janis, I am Seth Fredrick. I have an appointment with Mr. Conway. He said trying to hide his nervousness but she could see right through him.

Take a seat and I will let him know that you are here. Janis told Seth as she got up and walked over to Mr. Conway’s door. She knocked on the door and then told her boss that his 10:00 appointment was here. Then she went back to her desk and she told Seth that Mr. Conway would be with him shortly. She finished

While waiting he looked through magazines and then after 10 minutes the door to Mr. Conway’s office opened. While the door was opening, it opened with a squeaking noise. He stepped out of his office. He is a short, a little over weight, early to mid-30 with short brown hair and brown eyes. Mr. Conway walked over to Seth and put his hand out to shake his hand and they both smiled at one another.

Hello Mr. Conway. Seth said

Good morning Mr. Fredrick. I hope the travel here wasn’t bad. Sorry about the wait. He paused a moment then he began again. Follow me into my office and we can go over what have you done up until now. So how much longer do you think that it will take you to finish the script? Mr. Conway asked

Well Sir, to be completely honest I don’t need any more time because I have completed it. I have it with me on a disc ready for you to view it. Seth answered Mr. Conway’s question.

Now that is something that is really like to hear. Mr. Conway said with a smile.

Mr. Conway called to his secretary to come and get the disc so she can print it up. That way it would be easier to read. Janis came in and got the disc she brought it out to her desk and put the disc in the computer and she printed up a copy of the script. After 15 minutes she brought in the disc and two copies of the script and gave it to Mr. Conway.

Sorry that it took so long, the printer ran out of ink. I had to change the cartridge. Janis told her boss.

Janis, that is ok, these things will happen. Mr. Conway said to Janis with a smile.

Both Mr. Conway and Mr. Fredrick sat down and Mr. Conway began to read the script. Seth watches his agent reading the script and his face lit up like a Christmas tree. He didn’t have a very good poker face. He read several pages and he stopped and looked at Seth. Seth didn’t understand why he stopped. The Mr. Conway began to start speaking. I am really sorry but I have to stop reading the script. He said

I everything ok. Is the script that bad? Seth asked

No, not at all, I am sorry that I gave you the wrong impression. I really enjoy what I have been reading. The reason why I stopped reading is because I didn’t want to ruin it for myself when the movie comes out. Mr. Conway explains himself.

Thank- you Mr. Conway, I appreciate it. That makes me really happy to hear you say that. Seth said to himself.

Ok this is what I am going to do. I am going to make some phone calls to some movie studio and talk to them about coming to read the script. So while I do that you can go in the waiting room, have some coffee and relax. When I am done with the phone calls I will come and get you when I am done and tell you what they say, then we will go from there. Mr. Conway explained.

Seth went into the waiting room and waited for Mr. Conway to come out of his office. The time went by really slow at least that is what it seemed like to Seth. It was now 11:00 in the morning and still Mr. Conway didn’t come out of his office. Another fifteen minutes past and he heard footsteps coming toward the door, and then the door began to open with that squeaking noise. Mr. Conway walked out of his office with a big smile on face.

Well Seth, I made some phone calls and I have really good news for you. We have to leave right now; we have an appointment at 12:30. So we have to go so we can make the appointment. Mr. Conway said to Seth.

Really, that is great news Thank-you. Seth said with a really big smile on his face. Even though he was smiling, he was still extremely nervous about the meeting because he didn’t know what to expect. Even though his nervous were all over the place he was still excited because his dreams were coming true.

They both left the office and headed to the studio to meet with the executive. The ride seemed take forever. They arrived at the studio and walked into the office building. Mr. Conway walked over to the secretary and signed them in. The secretary walked over to the big double doors. She opened the door after hearing come in. Then she came out she told them her boss that his next appointment arrived.

The executives name is Ryan Hennessey. Mr. Conway told Seth

The executive walked out of his office with his secretary. He walked over to Mr. Conway and Seth and held out his hand to shake their hands. Hello Mr. Fredrick, I am Ryan Hennessey. The executive said

Hello Mr. Hennessey, how are you doing? Seth said

I am doing quite well, thank you for asking. How are you doing, Mr. Fredrick? Mr. Hennessey asked Seth

I am fantastic. He answered

Hello Jacob and how are you doing? Mr. Hennessey asked Mr. Conway

I am doing well, Ryan. How is everything going? He paused a moment and turned to Seth and began to speak again. Seth Mr. Hennessey and I are good friends. We have known each other for a long time. Mr. Conway explained.

Now that introduction has been made let’s get down to business. Let’s go into my office where we can get started. One thing before we continue, enough with the Mr. Hennessey, let’s be on first name basis. It will be so much easier if we do it that way. Ryan said

If that is what you want sir, then it is ok with me. Seth said

While they walked into Ryan’s office Jacob handed him the script. They all sat down in the chairs that surrounded a big brown desk. Ryan began to read the script. While he was reading it Jacob and Seth waited for a reaction. They wanted to know if he liked what he was reading. Ryan made the same reaction that Jacob did. Seth was really happy about what was going on.

Seth I really like what I am reading so far. I honestly believe that people will really enjoy what they will be seeing on the big screen. I would love to take on this script and make it into a movie. I also have a director and a producer in mind. They will both love the story line. Why don’t you both wait right there and I will make some phone calls and see what I can do. Ryan insisted.

Ten minutes past and Mr. Hennessey got off the phone and then he looked up at Seth and Jacob. They saw his expression it was a smile from ear to ear. Ryan began to speak again. Well it is 12:45 and I am going to get some menu and we can have lunch while we wait for the director and the producer to arrive. He finished

Ryan got up and went over to his secretary and she gave him some menus. They all picked out what they wanted and about 25 minutes later lunch had arrived. While they all were eating their lunch they discussed what direction they wanted the movie to go in. Time seemed to go by extremely fast. It is now 2:25 in the afternoon and both the director and the producer arrived at the office. The secretary showed them both into the office.

Tammy please hold a my calls, thank-you. Mr. Hennessey told his secretary.

Yes, sir. Tammy told her boss as she left the room and closed the door behind her.

This is great they have arrived. Jacob, Seth this is Isabella Skyland and she is the director that I had in mind and this Alexis Hennessey the producer and my wife. He said introducing everyone.

Hello Seth, it is nice to meet you. As Mr. Hennessey I am sorry Ryan had said I am Isabella Skyland. He has told me a little bit about the script. So I would like to read some of it, that way I can see what it is about. Isabella insisted.

Ryan handed her a copy of the script that way she could read it. She began to read it and she could read it. When she began read it and she was reading it really fast, but no one could tell if she liked it or not. She had a really go poker face. When she was done reading what she wanted and then she past it to Alexis and she began to read it, but she didn’t have a good poker. She was just like her husband Ryan and their friend Jacob. You could tell that she liked it.

I would like to start off by saying it is a really good script. I would be happy to be the director of this movie. Isabella said

I definitely have to agree with Isabella. I think it is well written and I would love to be the producer. Alexis said as well.

Now Seth I have a question for you. Isabella asked

I will answer it to the best of my abilities. He answered

Have you written a manuscript for this screenplay? The reason why I ask this is because a lot of authors have both. She questioned

To tell you the truth, I never thought of doing both. Do you think that I should? Seth asked

You don’t have too. Alexis said

Ok first things first we are going to have to make a lot of copies of the script. That way we can send copies out to other agents that can send them to people that they would think that would be great for each part. We will also send out hand written letters and emails to the agents as well. We will post ads in the newspaper and online stating that we will be holding auditions, where they are being held, and when it will be. I will start this in the morning with putting the ads out there. I will do this every day for two weeks. Then the auditions will last for two days that will also depends on if we find the right people to play the parts. If we do find the right person we can have call backs after that is finished. I also think that once that is all done we can have the movie done within one hundred days, but that will also depend on the weather as well and we can find the right place to shoot the scenes. Isabella said

So we can hold the audition on May 7th and the 8th from nine in the morning to eight at night. Then we can have the call backs on the tenth. How does that sound to everyone? Ryan asked everyone.

That sounds really good to me. Isabella said and everyone nodded in agreement.

The two weeks went by really fast and it was time 7:45 the morning of May seventh. Ryan, Jacob, Seth, Isabella and Alexis were ready for auditions. There were a lot of people that showed up for the first day of the auditions. This day went by really fast. The seemed like it had just begun that is how fast it was going. It was 8:15 that night and the last person auditioned and they all went home after so they can rest for the next day’s auditions.

It was May 8th 7:45 in the morning; they opened the doors at 8:00 on the dot. The day started really slow and the entire day remained slow. There were a lot of people were auditioning today. There were some people that were amazing then there were some people that were simply put the opposite. The auditions were finally over at eight pm. They held a meeting at the end of the auditions they were figuring out who would be a good fit for each character. They picked out 2 or 3 people for each of the main characters. They all decided that they would make all the calls the following day so the ones they picked would come for the call backs.

It was now the tenth and they had everyone that got phone call at the call backs. Everything was going really well. After everyone auditioned again Jacob, Ryan, Seth, Isabella and Alexis stepped aside and to have a meeting to decide who would be with assigned which
