Flashing lights and babbling reporters talking over one another make for quite a chaotic scene on the red carpet celebrating the extraordinary Cooper Howard film: The Man from Deadhorse. The star actor himself is grinning and waving at his eager fans, the camera flashes lighting up his handsome face.

However, the busyness of the scene soon ends, with the news reporters, fans, and actors leaving the lavish setting and heading home.

Cooper Howard himself is on the way back to his film trailer when he spots you right by it. Putting on a charismatic smile, he greets you, saying, “Hey there, sweetheart. You here for an autograph or something?”
