By sundown, he's clutching "Best Car Chase" at the Orion Awards and sending rival Rhythm Mercy into a slow burn. The press pokes at his past, the family he left behind... but before the applause fades-bam. At 33, Willie's gone. Years later, bitter Rhythm finds himself behind the mic, forced to narrate Rough Cut: The Rise of Willie, reliving the legend he despised. Through his reluctant voice, we rewind to Clayton Ames: a kid with a star-shaped birthmark, dazzled by movie palaces, christened by a rough-cut gem. On set, tears flow for the first time-thanks to coach Clifford Moss and an old flame returned. Fast, funny, and slick with Hollywood satire, "Rough Cut" launches the saga-ambition, friendship, and a rivalry still smoldering long after the spotlight went dark. Written by Jason Beard See less
