New Opportunities For Emi

As I have talked about before, Emi has a job in the movie industry as a set designer. Although she loves the job it gets difficult at times when she and her boss do not see eye to eye on a project. She was given the job of decorating a room for a character in the movie in the best way she saw fit. For weeks Emi was searching high and low for the perfect things to go into the room, she knew exactly how she wanted it and when she finally completed it she could not have been more proud of herself. She could not wait to show everyone and for them to begin filming scenes in the room she worked so hard on. That is, until she discovered her boss changed some things around in the room without telling her, things that Emi was beyond proud of. “Emi, first, it isn’t your music room. You’ve done a really lovely job, but you are an intern and I am the production designer” (Lacour 63). After hearing this Emi was devastated, she felt like it was not worth it anymore to continue on another project with her if the same thing was going to happen again. After discussing it with her brother and taking the night to think about it, she apologizes to her boss and in her own mind decides to stick with the next project they will be working on. Not long after talking with a boss, she gets a phone call that little does she know will give her an opportunity she has always dreamed of.

Recently, Emi was introduced to someone named Rebecca, she did not get to talk to her long but shortly after meeting with her she got a phone call from her. “I’m calling to offer you a job. I’d love to tell you about it if you have time” (Lacour 90). As soon as she can, Emi meets Rebecca and her boyfriend at a café to discuss the job offering. At first, they simply talk about her job now and ask her questions regarding situations that have or can occur while doing what she does. After their discussions and mentions of how much they like her, Rebecca and her boyfriend Theo offer Emi a job as a set designer for a movie they are directing. They would give her full creative freedom to design the sets in any way she feels fit best and our allowing her to hire one person to help her along the way. This really is the opportunity she has always dreamed of, it is something that would have taken her years to get in the studio. They allow her to take the script to read over and then make a final decision. At that point I thought to my-self, there is no way she would let this opportunity go. Sure enough, a few nights later after reading over the script, she was so excited about it she could not help but to wake Charlotte up at two a.m. to tell her about the amazing news and how she not only wants to take the job but wants to hire her to help her along the way. I can see great things coming out of this for Emi but nothing this good ever comes easy. Do you think Emi will run into problems?
