Missing Presence

"CUT!" 

Whoever was the one who decided that it was a grand necessity for the director to carry around a megaphone at all times deserves a nice long sit on something sharp and pointy.

"Phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal job, Qredrar!" 

The Director left his place behind the camera, walking into the scene, approving and applauding along the way. He turned his sunglasses in Amelia's direction; every source of light gleaming and glittering in its mirrored darkness, pushing the rare smile he had on his face to a level close to blinding. 

"See that? You see that everyone? Now that's—that's acting," He raved and praised, shooting a finger at Amelia like the first caveman discovering fire. "You all saw how she says her lines? Heard why she says her lines? The way she carries herself! You don't even see her anymore, the actress disappears—and what's left? Mmm… complete and utter perfection."
