This screenplay follows Will, a musician who releases cover songs anonymously on YouTube. His manager pushes him to reveal his face for a collaboration and single cover, but Will is reluctant due to insecurity over his appearance. After letting a homeless man stay the night, Will seems to gain a new perspective on himself and agrees to the reveal. The screenplay explores themes of anonymity, self-image, and helping others.

MANAGER
Will, Willow, Willy, I have great news
for you! Oh, you are gonna love this
one. I've just confirmed a life-
changing moment in your career baby.
You6re not only collaborating with THE
BJ, but you're also finally be
revealing your face on the front cover
of your new single! You don't
understand how pleased I am for you, I
know this is a leap in the right
direction for your career and
definitely won't hurt your love life!
WILL
Woah, really? I- I really don't know
what to say. This sounds grape and
all, but meeting bJ? And all these
people seeing my face? You know that I
don't think it's a good idea for
someone like me.

your career, you knew you had to do
something like this eventually...
WILL
Larry, I really don't think this is a
good idea, my anonymity is what keeps
my identity is what makes my music so
identifiable, and to be honest, the
longer I keep it up, the longer my
fans won't be disappointed. What would
they say when they'd find out that
their favourite musician has a face
like a smacked ass.
MANAGER
Will, what the hell are you saying, do
you even listen to yourself when you
speak? You really can't keep being
stuck on this kind of things with the
numbers that you have. listen, I'll
give you the weekend to make up your
mind and hopefully make the right
decision, alright?

Yeah, alright...

and worried. Will sits on the bench
and thinks about something. A random
man approaches Will.

Sorry mate, you got a light?

scared. He stutters.
WILL
Um-uh s-sorry n-no I don't.
