Developing From The Negatives

By Anouk de Rooij

The thing with polaroids is, sometimes the clear picture will only develop when it's been shaken around a little and left to rest. It's one of the things Ace lives by. Even if polaroids get shaken too much, get left out in the sun too long, get damaged, they'll still tell a wonderful story. No matter how long they might take to develop. Hoping to rectify the one mistake that's been haunting him, he turns to Oliver for help. Oliver spends his days crafting stories that are not his own, giving other people's voices and opinions the room to speak. It's been a while since he's felt like he played a main part in his own life. Ace's only chance to tell his story comes in the form of Oliver's filmmaking, his storytelling, but it also comes at a price. Will this story be able to survive the vices of Hollywood? Oliver: Oliver had thought life would be better once he was able to leave his college life behind. He, unfortunately, couldn't have been more wrong. The only thing keeping him afloat is his passion for filmmaking and the one cup of coffee he lets himself have every morning. Having to say goodbye to his passion project, the one thing he had always wanted to do, he's all but forced to take on a project that will at least keep him fed and off of the street. Even if it means that he has to deal with Ace Turner on a daily basis. Ace: Ace's life was luxury, glamour and every expensive brand of wine you could think of. The only problem? He doesn't care for any of it, especially not the wine. He would rather have a nice fruity cocktail. Life in Hollywood hasn't been what he had imagined whenever he had thought of making it big. He'd signed away his life to the higher-ups in Hollywood and he's been paying the price. Hoping to rectify the one mistake that's been haunting him, he sets out on not only changing his own life, but also that of those around him.
