An old FIA rule says that unmated omegas aren't allowed to race in any category of motorsport. Because of that, Charles Leclerc has been hiding as a beta since he first presented as an omega-until a breakthrough heat destroys how hard he's worked and reveals his designation. Ferrari, facing a major loss in sponsorship money, offer him a choice: leave Ferrari and motorsport forever, or agree to an invite only auction for the rights to mate him, with proceeds filling the hole in the budget. Charles comes up with a plan to save himself, get an alpha he trusts, get Ferrari's money back, and keep his seat. Unfortunately, Max Verstappen comes up with a plan, too.
Okay.
So, I'm working on this project for the Nikon Film Festival. And I'm meeting one of the potential actors in like 30 minutes. I'm so stressed and anxious because it's kinda of the first time -well it is the first time- that I'm directing a short. But at the same time I'm thrilled that this is happening and so glad that I'm able to lead this project and do something creative. It's a bit fucked up.
Like, the mixture of feelings in me right now, is driving me crazy. One second I'm scared and think it's a terrible idea, because I'm being vulnerable making this short. But then I'm on top of the world because I do something I love.
Adobe is going to spy on your projects. This is insane.

During my English class we had to choose an object and then write a POV text of that object. At the end of class we presented our text in front of the other students with a background music. The music I recited my text over was 'Introduction (titles)' by Danny Elfman for Edward Scissorhands.
I really enjoyed this exercise. We had to adjust our speech (tone and pace) according to the sound. We didn't train beforehand, it was interesting to go live and not really know what to expect !!
I would love to share it with you !
Obviously you won't have my tone and pace but I tried to edit it so you can interpret how it was performed with the sound !
Enjoy the reading !

It’s dark.
I can’t tell where I am. Yet I know exactly what surrounds me.
I can feel the cold concrete beneath me.
Hard and dirty.
Here. There is a dead bee.
There. A living spider building its web.
It’s on the lawn mower next to me.
I smell mold.
The smell of old.
I got used to it.
There is a light breeze bringing an intoxicating smell.
Gas.
I feel inebriated.
I feel light touches.
It startles me.
I don’t know what it is.
The touches move quickly.
There is a pattern.
1.
2.
3.
4.5.6
7.
8. It stops.
A silky thread touches me.
Then again with the touches.

8. Silky Thread.
The spider !
Where is it ?
It’s on me !
It’s making a web on me !
I feel it moving on my limb !
No !
Move !
Move from here !
It’s bright ?
It’s bright !
I can’t tell where I am.
Yet I know exactly what’s happening.
I feel something warm grabbing me and dragging me against the cold concrete.
The warmth opens me up.
There is a freezing gust entering me.
A loud SCRAAAATCH breaks through the air.
I know this sound !
It’s my turn !
It’s the seed bag being CRACKED open.
Seeds fall inside me with a comforting sound and gentle tickles.
The warmth grabs my limb firmly.
The spider ?
Where is it ?
Where is the spider ?
I don’t feel it anymore !
It’s gone !
I am pushed into the light.
My wheels face the ground then the bluest sky I have ever felt.
The sun skims my whole body.
It’s cold then warm all over again.
Cold then Warm.
And Again.
Cold.
Warm.
Cold.
There’s a CLICK!
It’s my cue.
The handle on my limb is pushed.
It’s my cue to free them all.
My cue to spin.
So I spin. And spin. And Spin
The seeds spin in the sky beautifully.
So they spin. And spin. And spin.
Finally.
I can fulfill what I was created for !
*******
Thank you for reading my work !
I hope you enjoyed it. I would love to hear what you thought about it and if you understood what my object was !
I would also say that English is not my mother tongue. Would you then excuse potential typos or weird phrasing.
Louis :)
Just finished it. I am flabbergasted by how good it was !
I finally can stop feeling ashamed of cutting my own hair with scissors.
I started reading The secret history by Donna Tart.
You can’t stop me now.
I’ll devour each letter typed on these pages relentlessly.
