A Hollywood Match

Short filmTranscript
00:00It's Oxygen, Niles Gilmore, Hollywood's biggest action star and my top client, for once he's sober and on time, a publicist's dream.
00:13For a star, timing is everything.
00:17Sophie Miller, fresh face, on the verge of something big, if she makes all the right moves.
00:24Stand tall, sooner.
00:30Am I in your handiwork?
00:33Late as usual.
00:35Not late, just perfectly timed.
00:38Ethan Prescott, Niles' agent. The guy I've known longer than anyone. Dependable, intelligent, and unknowingly charming.
00:47Nice dress.
00:48Nice bow tie. Just needs a little adjustment here.
00:54How's our golden boy? Is he behaving himself, or are we in for his usual antics?
00:58Eh, he's playing nice. Give it an hour.
01:04What the hell, man? You can't just hit someone!
01:09Or less.
01:13What the hell, man? You can't just hit someone!
01:16What do you say?
01:18What?
01:19Niles? What happened?
01:20This loser shoved this camera in my face! It's on my bad side. I didn't even touch him, he's being dramatic.
01:24You hit someone in front of a hundred cameras? They need to fix this.
01:25Psst, don't say anything else.
01:26Let's not make this bigger deal that it needs to be. We can solve this quietly. How about, um, a thousand dollars in it?
01:30Five thousand, and I'll play along with it.
01:32Five thousand. You better be good for it, or else I'm going straight to the press.
01:36It'll be you.
01:37Oh, man, I dropped my camera again! I'm so clumsy! Thank you for helping me pick it up, Niles Gilmore!
01:43Oh, man, I dropped my camera again! I'm so clumsy! Thank you for helping me pick it up, Niles Gilmore!
01:50Oh, wow. So sweet.
01:53Yeah, so sweet.
01:54That was impressive.
01:56In Hollywood, connections are currency. Without me pulling the strings, I'm going straight to the press.
02:00You better be good for it, or else I'm going straight to the press.
02:02It'll be you.
02:03Oh, man, I dropped my camera again! I'm so clumsy! Thank you for helping me pick it up, Niles Gilmore!
02:07Wow.
02:08So sweet.
02:09Yeah, straight work, Niles.
02:10That was impressive.
02:12In Hollywood, connections are currency. Without me pulling the strings, I'm going straight to the press.
02:20If you're pulling the strings, even the brightest stars burn out, but I keep them shining.
02:27What are you doing here?
02:29Huh?
02:31Huh?
02:32Huh?
02:33Huh?
02:34Huh?
02:35Huh?
02:36Huh?
02:37Huh?
02:38Huh?
02:39Huh?
02:40Huh?
02:41Huh?
02:42Huh?
02:43Huh?
02:45Huh?
02:46Huh?
02:47Huh?
02:48Huh?
02:49Huh?
02:50Huh?
02:51Huh?
02:54What are the things?
02:59Good morning, Miss Harrington.
03:00Your schedule's been moved around slightly. There's a last minute addition of potential new
03:03client meeting.
03:04Liam Sterling?
03:05Liam Sterling?
03:06That hot guy from the new romcom?
03:09He's looking to revamp his image.
03:11Interesting.
03:12When does he arrive?
03:15No kyloax.
03:20Mr. Sterling, welcome to Harrington PR. I am Joaquin.
03:41I know who you are. Call me Liam.
03:44That I'm good at what I do, but flattery won't get you any discounts.
03:51No discounts necessary. I'm here because I need a real change.
03:55Go on.
03:57I'm sick of being the guy who's shirtless more than he's acting.
03:59I mean, the hard rob thing, it's been fun. But it's not who I am.
04:04I want substance. Roles that really challenge me.
04:07If you're serious about this, it's not going to be easy. And it won't happen overnight.
04:13Are you ready for that?
04:16Sounds easy with you by my side.
04:19All right. We'll have to change your public persona.
04:23No more sexy magazine covers. And no more feeding into that heartthrobage.
04:29We'll focus on redefining you as a serious actor.
04:32And you'll have to be selective about the projects you take.
04:35Taking roles with depth, range.
04:39That's exactly what I want.
04:42I've been waiting for somebody to tell me that it's okay to say no to the next rom-com,
04:45where I spend more time in the gym than with the script.
04:49Well, consider this your permission slip.
04:53But this is a partnership.
04:55You'll have to trust me.
04:57One hundred percent.
04:59I trust you, bud.
05:00You're the person I've been looking for.
05:07We'll make it happen.
05:10I'm all in.
05:14Brooke?
05:18God, no. Um, this is my close friend, Avin.
05:21No.
05:23Well, nice to meet you. I'm Liam Sterling.
05:24I know who you are.
05:26I work closely with your agent.
05:28Brought you a coffee. I'll just sleep with Margaret.
05:30Thanks.
05:36He's a nice guy.
05:38Sure he's not your boyfriend?
05:40I'm single, Mr. Sterling.
05:41Uh, Liam. Remember?
05:44Liam.
05:45I have a feeling this is going to work out really well.
05:48I am.
05:50I'm sure it will.
05:51You know, I think this is the start of a
05:54beautiful relationship.
06:11Hello?
06:15Who's there?
06:16I'm armed.
06:17What's that?
06:20With wine and flowers?
06:24I'm gonna have to butter you up because I didn't make an appointment.
06:27I mean, I guess this works.
06:36So, what's the occasion?
06:41Some say I'm cutthroat.
06:43Who do they?
06:44I don't know.
06:45You don't look so cutthroat to me.
06:48Appearances may be deceiving.
06:50And yet, here I am with you.
06:55Well, someone's gotta keep you out of trouble.
06:59Maybe.
07:00Or maybe you're just avoiding what's really going on here.
07:04And what would that be?
07:06When the real chemistry is right here.
07:08Between us.
07:09I don't know what you're talking about.
07:14Sure you don't.
07:17This wine is great.
07:19I have great taste.
07:22So, are we going to do something about this?
07:23Or are you just going to sit here enjoying the wine?
07:29Okay.
07:31I'll let you get some rest.
07:32No.
07:36Stay a little longer.
07:39I'll stay as long as you want.
07:40No.
07:59No.
08:00Shit.
08:10Shit.
08:12A good morning kiss?
08:18I don't think so.
08:20Come on.
08:22Last night was a mistake.
08:26Fun, but still a mistake.
08:30Yeah, I don't think I agree.
08:32You're my client.
08:34I'm supposed to be helping your career, not helping you.
08:37You know.
08:39You were great last night.
08:43Now, can you please just get dressed?
08:46If anyone caught us, this could ruin my career,
08:49not to mention what it could do to your rebrand.
08:51Do you still want to be known as the slutty heartthrob?
08:55Well, I wouldn't say slutty.
09:00Everyone else would.
09:02I mean, what serious actor sleeps with their publicist?
09:06The sooner we move past this,
09:08the sooner that I can get you and Lena
09:11and your career moving forward.
09:13Sound good?
09:18No.
09:19But if that's what you want, then I guess I don't have a choice.
09:24Is that what you want, Brooke?
09:28Yes.
09:29That's what's best.
09:31Whatever you say.
09:33I'm sorry.
09:34At least we got it out of our systems.
09:36Call you later.
09:38Amazing.
09:39The movie sucked.
09:40Aside from my scene,
09:41I met this guy at the after party.
09:42He's a bit older.
09:43A screenwriter.
09:44Ugh, come on.
09:45Ugh.
09:46An old screenwriter?
09:47You are Sophie Miller.
09:48You can do so much better.
09:49I know that look, Brooke.
09:50You're up to something.
09:51What makes you think that?
09:52You love playing matchmaker.
09:53Admit it.
09:54You're trying to set me up.
09:55Half of Hollywood's power couples owe their happiness to me.
09:57You can be one of them.
09:58Well, what about you?
09:59When are you going to find you or someone?
10:00Oh, I'm happy being single.
10:01I can do something.
10:02You can do something more.
10:03I can do something.
10:04I can do something.
10:05I can do something in how I do.
10:06But I can do a whole bunch more stuff.
10:07I can do something wrong.
10:08And you may be a a man.
10:09I can do something.
10:10I can do something wrong.
10:11I can do something wrong with my life.
10:12I can do something wrong with my life.
10:13I can do something wrong with my life.
10:14Okay.
10:15Well, I can do something wrong with my life.
10:17You're not really解 Mun.
10:18Oh, I'm happy being single. Plus, I got enough on my plate managing everyone else's love
10:25lives. You've never thought about it? Of course I have. But then I remember all the drama
10:36that comes with it, and I like the way my life is. Drama free. I think you're the only
10:43person in this town who doesn't crave drama. Alright, drama queen, we have a party to get
10:50ready for. Sof, you're leveling up.
11:03So, whose party is this anyway? Dylan's. Dylan Parker's? You were serious about setting me up.
11:10When do I say anything just for fun? I thought this would be a good opportunity for you two
11:15to meet. You're playing matchmaker again, aren't you? Trust me. You'll thank me later.
11:21Hi Dylan. Meet Sophie. Yeah. No, I know Sophie. We met at that Kim read for the horror flick,
11:28right? You remember that? How could I forget? And damn, Brooke. You gotta warn me when you
11:35dress like this. Um, Sophie's the real star here. You guys should get to know each other.
11:40Alright, Sophie. Let's, uh, grab a drink. Find a quiet place to chat. That'd be great.
11:46What the? You're walking. Who the hell are you? Who's a crazy fan sneaking into a Hollywood
12:02star house? You better pay for this. Otherwise, I could ruin your career with a single post.
12:08I'm sorry. I'll cover the clinic. Oops! Accident. I'm sorry. Your ugly thrift store dress looks even worse.
12:25I guess some people still haven't learned that in Hollywood there are cameras everywhere.
12:29Wait, is that Liam Sterling? I just watched his movie yesterday. Damn, he looks even hotter in person.
12:35And if anyone's career is getting ruined, it won't be Brooke Harrington's. She's an A-list publicist.
12:40Ruining reputations is her job. So if I were you, I would watch my mouth around her.
12:48Take this. Thank you. Um, I didn't expect to see you here.
12:54I wasn't expecting to see you here, either. You, uh, looking for somebody to put on your matchmaking list?
12:59Hmm. Depends. What you had in mind.
13:04A girl who's smart, strong, independent. Maybe she runs her own business.
13:11Knows her way around Hollywood.
13:13Sounds like she's hard to find.
13:16Almost impossible.
13:17Ellen.
13:18So crazy.
13:31She's around.
13:33She may be quite happy.
13:36Well, here's Maya, if you want.
13:37Well, it changes a little bit, but it's something çekerlyn.
