was　perfect。　And　Serena　arrived　on　time；　didn？t　fumble　a　line　or　any　of　her　blocking；　and　when

Ken　yelled；　？Cut！？　it　was　because　the　scene　was　in　the　bag。

？Maybe　this　won？t　be　so　bad　after　all；？　the　director　stage　whispered　to　Vanessa。　？That？s　it　for

now；　people；？　he　yelled。　？Let？s　take　fifteen。？

He　turned　back　to　Vanessa　and　said；　in　a　normal　tone　of　voice：　？You？re　up；　kid。　Let？s　see　what

you　got。？

No　problem；Vanessa　thought。　Things　might　be　all　fucked　up　with　everything　else？like　whatever

the　hell　was　going　on　with　Dan？but　she　knew　what　to　do　with　a　camera。

Ken　Mogul　dragged　his　canvas　director？s　chair　over　to　the　playback　monitor；　where　he？d　be　able

to　screen　the　footage　Vanessa　had　just　shot。　Vanessa？s　assistant　camera　guy　rolled　the　footage　and

Vanessa　joined　the　director；　watching　over　his　shoulder。

The　first　time　they？d　run　the　scene；　Vanessa　had　used　a　straightforward　angle；　moving　the　camera

in　and　then　out　to　capture　the　nuances　in　the　performances；　but　all　in　all　keeping　a　fairly　traditional

distance　from　the　actors。　It　looked　wooden　and　stiff　to　her；　it　was　clean　and　tidy　but　unimaginative。

The　second　time　they？d　rolled；　she？d　tried　something　radically　different；　zooming　in　to　focus　first

on　Thaddeus？s　lips　and　then　panning　up　to　examine　his　eyelashes。　She？d　used　this　strategy　with

his　costar；　too；　to　get　a　rapid…fire；　music　video　effect　that　was　really　impressionistic。　It　was　more

challenging　than　what　you　usually　saw　in　a　movie；　but　it　was　also　better。　On　the　third　take　she？d

gone　even　further；　letting　the　camera？s　gaze　linger　on　the　ice　dancing　in　the　glass　of　water　on　the

table。　She　thought　it　was　a　fitting　way　to　symbolize　the　characters？　plex　relationships　with

each　other。　It　was　some　of　her　best　work。

？What　the　fuck　is　this？？　asked　Ken　Mogul　calmly。

Vanessa　looked　at　him。　She　couldn？t　quite　read　the　tone　of　his　voice。

？I　asked　you　a　question；？　Ken　repeated；　spinning　around　to　face　her。　？What　the　fuck　was　that；

Vanessa？　What　the　fuck　wasthat　？？

？That　was　my　camera　work；？　Vanessa　replied；　proudly；　but　her　voice　was　shaking　a　bit。

？Are　you　fucking　kidding　me？？　Ken　Mogul　screamed。　Nearby　crew　members　backed　into　the

shadows；　and　Vanessa　could　feel　all　eyes　on　her。

？Vanessa；　what　is　this　experimental　bullshit？　This　is　not　what　I　hired　you　for。？

That　wasexactly　what　he？d　hired　her　for！　Those　had　been　hisexact　words；　as　a　matter　of　fact。

Vanessa　just　stared　at　him；　stunned。

？That？s　it。　This　is　the　last　thing　I　need。　I？ve　got　an　actress　who　can？t　act；　I？m　chewing　on

fucking　ballpoint　pens　because　I？m　not　allowed　to　smoke　on　my　own　fucking　set；　and　now　this：

little　Miss　Indie　Film　is　giving　me　her　bullshit　camera　work。　I　don？t　need　this。　You？re　fired！？　Ken

turned　away　from　Vanessa　and　settled　back　into　his　chair。　？And　you；？　he　added；　pointing　to　a

gofer；　？tell　Thad；　Serena；　and　Miranda　to　stay　ready。　Thanks　to　this　bullshit；　we？re　going　to　have

to　reshoot。？
