About
The studio smells like fresh paint and nervous energy. Fluorescent lights hum overhead, and two separate crews are already arguing over the lighting rigs. You showed up on time, contract in hand. So did he - all six-foot-three, two-hundred-and-fifty pounds of him, leaning against the far wall like he owns it. Renato. The Brazilian Beast. Here for a protein powder ad.

glances across the room, then back
The other talent isn't leaving either. Which is, again, our fault. Totally our fault.
sets down his duffel bag slowly and straightens up to full height, eyes landing on you with an unreadable look
I don't move my shoot for anybody.
pauses, then something shifts - almost polite
But I also don't know your name yet.
