The Dark Side of Fame Part 1

A very obsessed, frustrated and brashly ambitious doorman seeks wealth and fame as a successful film director and producer. After years of working long hours and making untold sacrifices, he earned enough money to outfit his small production crew. Finally one day his big break came. A young naive producer answered his Internet ad with the perfect opportunity. Driven by money, greed and power, he was determined to make his mark in the entertainment industry with this first chance at success. The stage was apparently set for him and the producer as they both pursued their big break; after all, they both needed each other until the opportunity took a very unpredictable and ill-fated turn. Angered by the disappointment, the doorman resorts to blackmail using skills learned first-hand while working at 740 Park Avenue which is the home to some of the cities wealthiest tenants; the likes of Koch, Schwarzman and Thain, just to name a few, were some of the building’s most acclaimed residents and were also among his staunchest idols. Coming to admire them while he watched as they made millions of dollars on Wall Street over the years, he wanted what they had. Firmly convinced by their tactics, he thought if they were good enough for wealthy Wall Street tycoons, then those same tactics coupled with his military training, should be good enough for him to make his mark as a director and producer in the entertainment industry. Extorting five million dollars from a top film executive was just the beginning, he thought, but a necessary step to enter a world he was all too desperate and willing to join.
