The American army joins South Vietnam to fight against the North and the Eastern Bloc.

Only twenty minutes of flight and we're home.

We're still in a war zone, so stay alert.

I hate flying by night,

can't see anything with this mist.

Follow the moon, Jackson.

Well... Heading for the moon!

Charlie, you alright?

Just staring at your watch?

The air above the Chinese Sea howls with violent fury.

They're here!

Get ready!

How many are there?

Three fighters!

They are following us.

The base, now!

Two hunters after you Leader,

I've got them!

No!

Move out!

To the base, now!

That's an order!

Leader?

Do you copy?

Jackson, are you here?

Hunter behind you!

Moving on!

Leader, do you copy?

(Dramatic noises, bullets hitting metal)

Leader?

Answer!

What are you doing, Charlie?

We don't need anyone.

Behind you!

Charlie, you're burning!

(Plane buzzing, malfunctioning noises continue)

Eject, Charlie!

Eject!

Do you copy?

I repeat!

Eject!

Eject, Charlie!

Eject!

Do you copy?

I repeat!

Eject!

NOW!

Thank you.

Good evening.

David Walter, director of "Creation".

Next year I'm going to New York Film School.

I was lucky enough to be selected for a Master's degree there

and I want to continue to get my Phd.

I want to be a film director.

Evening, my name is Sideny Cohen and I directed "Homeless".

I am also doing a Master's degree in a Film School in Los Angeles

for which I have just been awarded a scholarship

and I also want to be a film director.

Thank you.

Evening.

My name is George Wyatt

and I am the director of the short film "PILOT".

I won't be doing a Master's degree.

I'm happy to see that you liked the short film

because I plan to write and direct the next part as a feature film.

It will be my first feature.

I will write it

and I intend to have it produced.

I am George Wyatt.

And I'm going to be film director.

A table for ten, do we serve?

We do. Come on everybody, hurry up!

George! Move on, we need dishes!

Are you coming tonight?

Not tonight, I have to work.

The end.

End.

This time it's the right one! When do you send it?

Do it or die trying!

It's available! We can visit it Tuesday at 2pm. Right by my work, but the deposit is 2500 euros...

Ten more... We're nearly there!

At 26 years old, young River Dallas directed his first film "MADNESS".

If you have a dream, if you want to achieve something, do it or die trying.

- It's good, isn't it? - It's not bad!

Small bun...

I'll take it...

Hello?

Yes...

It's me...

- Who is it? - Hallen Films.

OK...

OK, yes.

When?

Tuesday 2pm.

It's OK, go! Go! Go!

Tuesday 2pm is good for me!

OK...

It's good for me.

Perfect.

Thank you so much.

Bye.

Hallen Films.

They read the screenplay and want to meet me.

Really?

I am so happy!

- You deserve it! - Holy sh...

What are you going to do about the visit?

Don't worry, I'll be going with my parents, take some photos...

Can you imagine?

- It has to work. - It will work.

To celebrate!

Let's go!

A small bun!

So good!

I love that!

Well.

The short, have you submit it to film festivals?

No...

It's a shame, we could have used it to showcase the feature.

If you direct a film with us, we will submit it to a lot of festivals.

Just...

Look...

It's the press kit of our last one.

There is a list of all festivals we've submitted it to.

Keep it, it can be useful.

Thank you.

So... What are you doing for now?

I work in a restaurant...

Washing dishes...

To survive.

It's not easy at the beginning.

Listen, I liked your screenplay, but it's highly ambitious for a first film.

- Where do you want to shoot? - In Vietnam.

I've located an island in the south of the country that matches perfectly with what I want.

OK... And I suppose that you thought of all

the difficulties involved for this kind of shooting?

The heat...

Isolation...

Lack of comfort...

Wetness!

Yes but that's what I'm looking for!

Something which is immersive!

The problem with this kind of shooting

is that it turn down all possibility of France territory grant.

Shooting in English can also close some doors.

But it's possible?

We'll have to come up with some solid arguments to convince investors.

It will take time...

You will have to keep writing.

But, yes...

It's possible.

And what can I do to convince them?

For now, I will make my associates read your first draft.

If they're interested, we'll get you into development.

Which means?

Which means no more dish washing.

We pay you

to write your screenplay.

Would that be great to you?

Sure!

Beware! I'm not promising anything!

Give me some time...

Keep writing

and wait for my phone call... Alright?

"It's not the drinks on the house?

I know the boss very well, call him!"

Sir, I also know him you know...

Then, the guy comes back and ask for an amaretto.

I bring it to him... He calls me back!

"Young man there is a problem, it's too sweet."

Dude, it's almond liqueur, of curse it's sweet you dumb!

"I'll tell you! I was at your competitor's bar yesterday and it was not so sweet!"

So get back to it!

I don't give a shi...

Are you alright?

What's wrong?

No answer...

We are going to make your film, OK?

If I have to work here for ten years to produce it, I will.

Well.

I'm off now...
