Scene 47, Take 19 - Background Noise, #3

To film student Harper Vale, movies are a form of hallowed art. So when she moonlights as an extra on "Ashes of Empire," she expects to be at the heart of cinematic magic. Instead, she finds herself in a world of endless retakes and freezing weather, a backdrop to a scene she doesn't even fully understand. "Scene 47, Take 19" is a journey into the heart of Harper's disillusionment as her idealistic view of art collides with the messy reality of commerce. This is a story about the authenticity of emotions that exist even when the world around you is completely fake.
