🎬 Second Take
A slow-burn, collegue-to-lovers romance between a guarded indie director and the Hollywood actor she never wanted to cast.
When Noah Calloway signs onto a quiet, emotional film set in the hills of Italy, he's hoping to escape the pressure of fame-and maybe rediscover the part of himself he lost somewhere between red carpets and rehearsed interviews.
He doesn't expect Emery Voss.
She's young, sharp-tongued, and fiercely private. A rising star in the indie world with a reputation for refusing studio interference-until the studio assigns her him. To Emery, James is nothing but a pretty face, a risk to her vision, and the exact kind of man she's vowed to never trust again.
But behind the scenes of a film about forbidden love, something real begins to unfold between them. A late-night dinner. A kiss that wasn't in the script. Eyes that say too much between takes.
And when the cameras stop rolling, they're forced to ask the question:
What if the best scenes were never written at all?
