Will, a young guy, jogs through the park in the evening. His
hair is curly and he is tall. He looks focused. He wears a
dark coloured tracksuit and trainers. A phone rings. Will
takes his phone out of the pocket and slowly stops in front
of the bench. We see his managers picture on the phone.
Title: Manager.

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.

revamp 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 anonymous identity 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?
WILL
Yeah, alright...
Will hangs up.
He heavily signs. He looks bothered
and worried. Will sits on the bench
and thinks about something. A random
man approaches Will.
RANDOM MAN
Sorry mate, you got a light?
Will is frozen. His mouth is open. He is confused and kind of
scared. He stutters.
WILL
S-sorry but no.
RANDOM MAN
Oh don't worry mate
The random man walks away.
