Cookie-Cutter Filmmaker

I spent the last few years on the surface finishing up in film school. I came down here to Rapture to make movies that those big-shots in Hollywood could only dream of. Sure, space for sets is... limited, at best, but my ideas have become tailored to living in this tin can. I even have my own editing studio and apartment combo in Fort Frolic.

For my last project, I pulled a few strings, and got Sander Cohen to star. It turned out great, in my opinion. Cohen doesn't seem to think so. Actually, he's quite furious. Says I'm just another one of the cookie-cutter filmmakers that Hollywood rejected. As far as he's concerned, he's the one with all the artistic genius.

What an insult! As if his films are any better! I saw one of them the other day at the theater; it was a joke! He didn't have any really professional equipment like me, so his cut-and-paste editing was awful. But no, he has to be better.

To make up for his pathetic editing job, he's going to buy out my studio. I haven't got the guts or the cash to say no. Cohen's been doing plasmids, you see. I'm afraid of hypos, so I'm not about to try one, and I'm certainly not going to get into a brawl with a man who can shoot fire from his fingertips.

Guess the location of the next project will have to be Pauper's Drop. I'll be moving there on Wednesday.
