INT. PLUSH OFFICE, DREAMWORKS – DAY

STEVEN SPIELBERG, handsome and timeless, sits behind a solid gold desk. A translucent ray of light shines down from some unseen source (Heaven???) and cascades over the genius as he cradles a phone receiver between his ear and shoulder.

STEVEN (INTO THE PHONE)
Guys, I love it. You’ve just made the Citizen Kane of in-theater advertising.

COPYWRITER (FROM THE PHONE)
Thanks, Mr. Spielberg.

STEVEN (INTO THE PHONE)
Call me Steven, please.

COPYWRITER (FROM THE PHONE)
(giggling like a schoolgirl)
Okay . . . Steven.

STEVEN (INTO THE PHONE)
By the way, since we’re fawning, you’ve got talent, kid. You wouldn’t happen to have a screenplay lying around, would you?

COPYWRITER (FROM PHONE)
Do I have a screenplay? Steven. Baby. I’m a copywriter.

STEVEN (INTO THE PHONE)
So, you’re saying it’s unfinished.

Okay, so it didn’t quite play out like that. But what the hell, a guy can dream, right? After all, it’s not every day that Steven Spielberg is your client.

“Director’s Chair” is a two minute, award-winning cinema piece created to support the partnership between Verizon and “On the Lot,” a project created by Steven Spielberg and Mark Burnett, that led to the first ever mobile phone film festival.
