Story Description: Throw in on set the famed demon director, the multi-awarded actor, the hotshot rock idol, and the best-selling novelist—and more? Welcome to F.T. Films. Apparently, they think shooting a movie is boring. So they shoot each other instead. Oh dear Mavis…

Full Summary:

Once known as the best production company in all of Fiore—now seven years bankrupt after a single big screen disaster; not to mention, a rather incompetent staff. And so one last chance remains: The Grand Fiore Film Fest. But the stakes are higher than ever, and victory is rather vague; so they bank on their luck, leave everything up to chance, and—pray Mavis help them—seek the aid of the industry's living legends: the famed demon director, the multi-awarded actor, the hotshot rock idol, and the best-selling novelist.

Then throw in on set a rather handsome assistant, a drunkard manager, a suave co-star, a workaholic editor, a metal-music guitarist, a love-giddy bartender, a supermodel trio, a privacy-invasive photojournalist, a top-notch investigator, a returning ex-fiancée—and more?

Well, showbiz life in Fiore isn't all as dazzling as the media shows it's all cracked up to be, and the whole of the continent better watch out. Because with double the trouble and thrice the explosiveness—F.T. Films is back on track.

If they can start shooting the movie and not each other, that is.

Oh dear Mavis.

"Saber again huh. As usual."

Down she dropped stack of mixed old and recent newspapers—dusty, she might add—unto the hard varnished oak of her work table in the quaint apartment. Her breathing strained from the suffocating cloud upon impact, yet she continued, clearing up roughly seven years worth of daily tabloids (rubbish, all of them, she thought).

She coughed.

And although time proved to be her enemy, she couldn't help but skim over the headlines, some, however, she was rather painfully familiar of—

Question: What has become of the crowned "King of Films"?

Yes, you know them—they are none other than the mighty F.T. Films. However, here we are fast forward seven years—and things don't seem to be looking up for the majesty—

A sigh.

"Really. They keep adding insult to injury," she muttered lowly with the final stack—loudly so. "As if things aren't already bad enough around here."

And from the background, the faint glow of the television amidst the dim of the thick curtain-clad room wasn't helping any either. But she paid no heed and instead continued gathering her things for work.

"Al! I'm going ahead! See you at the office!"

The door slams shut.

Is a comeback completely out of question now?

By: Cassidy Casares

Once known as the best production company in all of Fiore—now seven years bankrupt after a single big screen disaster; not to mention, a rather incompetent staff (if I do say so myself). Bankruptcy seemed to have taken its toll on company, after all, now down and low after the infamous "Tenrou Island" movie disaster, which according to movie critics—from the casting to the cinematography and to even the soundtracks—just didn't make the cut, apparently deemed from "Most Anticipated of the Year" to "Major Disappointment of the Century".

And so the big question remains: now with the annual Grand Fiore Film Festival fast approaching, will they be able to make it to the big screen again? Is a comeback now out of question, or will they be able to regain their lost glory?

Maybe.

But the stakes are higher than ever, and victory is rather vague. Perhaps they'd bank on their luck. Perhaps they'd leave everything up to chance, and—pray Mavis help them—perhaps they'd finally patch up the gaping hole of their seven-year-long lasting defeat.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Flip.

There can be no secrets here.

Plot twists of movie scripts are nothing compared to the real drama behind the scenes.

WELCOME TO FIORE.
