After reaching Los Angeles, the crew and Will parted ways.

He would meet Jeffery after two days for the editing and post-production, and then, they would talk more about the distribution and how they were going to go ahead with it.

After the shooting, the three leads were also tired and went to their homes. The sessions with their psychiatrist would still go on for a week, but aside from that, they were free.

Now that Will had two days to rest, he immediately went to his rented apartment.

He has spent around 80k dollars in the movie till now, which was more than the original, but he was shooting this movie in 2010, and the original was shot in the 90s.

He had already guessed this before, so he wasn't much surprised.

Will rested for a whole day and watched some comedy movies to get out of horror. At the same time, he made a list of the studios that he could use to distribute [The Blair Witch Project].

There were 4-5 major studios, but he didn't know whether they would agree to distribute a movie like this. They would most likely disparage his movie because it was not like a typical movie that could bring easy money.

It was just a common way of thinking.

The normal way to make a mark in Hollywood was to make connections for years before pitching a good enough idea that fits well with the ongoing trend. Only after that, you could debut as a director.

However, Will has already skipped a lot of steps.

'Well, it didn't matter now. I will get [The Blair Witch Project] on the screens one way or another.'

Musing over it for some time, he threw the worry of distributions on the back of his mind. He would think about it after the editing is done.

The next day, Will threw a small party for the cast. Rather than a normal American party, it was more of a get-together to get to know each other better.

The reason behind it was that he wanted to thank the cast for their efforts during the shooting and get to know them better. He invited Jeffrey too.

Will’s small apartment already seemed full after a few people gathered there.

"So, there was one time when I was in a movie with Alex King, and girls were flocking around him. Like girls straight out of college, not caring that he was in his mid-30s and married. He apparently took 4 of them to his hotel room in the end."

"So, it's true that he's a playboy and his wife let him?"

"Yeah, it's common gossip that Alex and his wife are in an open relationship. They are just together because of the brands that sponsor them because of their power couple image."

One of the actors that have played the role of a resident in [The Blair Witch Project] was talking about a famous actor's love life, and both Zach and Marcus were intently listening to it.

Aside from them, a middle-aged actress was also sitting at the table. They were the cast that was able to make it to the party.

Will, sitting beside Zach, shook his head upon hearing the conversation.

Gossips like this were really common in Hollywood, and some famous actors and directors would even participate in orgies. Compared to that, a famous couple having an open marriage was quite normal.

This was just the dark side of Hollywood, and it didn't interest Will much. Though, it did intrigue the two male leads, especially Zach.

After getting to know him, Will has realised that Zach is a playboy and would hook up with many girls. He had even made moves on June after the shooting, but the latter gave instant rejection.

Ding!

Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and Will stood up from his seat.

"That must be June with the pizza."

He said and walked towards the door and opened it. June was standing outside with a couple of boxes of pizza.

"Hi, Will." She said with a smile.

For a second, Will wasn't able to say anything to her. He just kept staring at her.

Maybe, it was the way her slender collarbone peeked from beneath her low-cut t-shirt and a leather jacket or the way her curves popped slightly through her black leather pants or just the way her long hair smelled sweetly of shampoo.

She had clearly made an effort to look good before coming to the apartment, and Will would be lying if he said that he didn't make him feel anything.

"Hello, June. Come in."

He said after a while, and June didn't miss the way his eyes danced on her. She has worked hard in setting herself up today, and she was happy that it has worked.

Smiling to herself, she walked inside and out the box down on the table. Everyone cheered seeing the pizza and couldn't stop themselves from taking a slice.

"Oh, pizza is perfect for the evening."

"Definitely."

Zach and Marcus talked among themselves as the experienced actor again began one of his stories. It seemed like the man had a bundle of them, and he was quite happy that everyone was listening intently to his words.

Will listened to two more stories about a director sleeping with the male actor and how once an actor's wife made a big scene on the set after catching him cheating on her with the lead actress.

Those stories were funny, but Will wasn't interested in them.

He took his piece of the pizza and went to his apartment’s balcony silently, feeling the soft wind and thinking about his new life in this world.

"Will, what are you doing here?"

As he finished his pizza slice, June joined him on the balcony. He glanced at her and spoke.

"Nothing. I was just thinking about the movie."

“Oh.”

June leaned down on the balcony, gently tucking in a few hair strands that fell on her face behind her ears.
