It had been one of those were no matter what William did, he couldnt go to sleep. He already had tried drinking some tea, warm milk, meditating, wave and sea sounds...and nothing. The sleep just wouldn’t come to him, there was too much going on his head. So he decided that maybe what he needed was a midnight stroll around his neighborhood. He found the combination of the stars, the city lights, the fog and just the few people who were out at that hour quite charming, it was like seeing the city from a different point of view. What had started as small walk around the block ended up with him riding the subway at 2 am in the morning. He was immersed in his phone when the person near him spoke to him. He turned to look at the guy and with a warm smile and nodded. “Yes, I would be honored. What are you auditioning for?” He spoke putting his phone away to give the young man all of his attention.

Lucas nervously chewed on the back of a neon yellow highlighter while his eyes skimmed the page. It was better to risk the pen exploding in his mouth than getting into the bad habit of biting his nails again– his oral fixation needed some kind of fill. He already knew the script back to back but his mind blanked every time he had an audition. There was no such thing as learning too much he figured, but the more he read the scene over, the less confident he felt.

The subway car was uncharacteristically empty for New York City, but then again, it was also two am in the morning. He looked over to the only other person in the car and cleared his throat loudly to get their attention. “Excuse me, would you like to run lines with me? I’ve got an audition for this thing in the morning…”

If there was anything Will loved more than Karaoke it was a Karaoke bar. The mood in those bars are always happy, joyful, fun. Sure, there was always a lot more people drinking and singing their hearts out but drunk people singing is always better than the drunk ones getting into fights. William was watching Veronica sing her heart out with a smile on his lips when suddenly she approached and pulled him by the arm and asked him to join in. Will, being someone who never said no to a duet, stood up from his stool and tried to sing along with her even if he didn’t know the lyrics to the song. “Cause I’ve got friends in low places and...something something something...ooh I’ve got friends in low places!” Will stopped burst out laughing and turned to face the woman next to him. “I’m sorry, I really tried to sing along but I think it’s best if I step down and let you finish the song alone.”

OPEN STARTER

With her surgery date fast approaching, Veronica was determined to live her life to the fullest. Which is why she was currently shit faced at a karaoke bar downtown, sloppily singing Garth Brooke’s ‘Friends in low places.’ into the mic at full volume with a glass of Johnny Walker in hand. She grabbed for the closest person arm, pulling them up beside her. “I’ll buy the drink if you sing the chorus.” She giggled, hiccupping as she pushed the pic towards their face.

( EWAN MCGREGOR + CISMALE ) — Have you seen WILLIAM COHEN ? This FORTY-NINE year old is a/an FILM DIRECTOR who resides in MANHATTAN. HE has/have been living in NYC for ELEVEN YEARS, and is/are known to be DEDICATED and RELIABLE , but can also be STUBBORN and OVERPROTECTIVE, if you cross them. People tend to associate them with DAD JOKES, WARM SMILES and SCRUFFY BEARD. @codstarters

Hello everyone, my name is Julia but I go by Jules. I’m from est zone and I bring to you my goofy goober William Cohen with the lovely fc of Ewan McGregor. I apologize in advance if this sucks but I’m really bad at intros. Anyway, hit me up if you’d like to plot or give this post a like and I’ll come to you!

Career:

Born and raised in England. William developed an in interest for filmmaking from a young age and never really had an alternative for directing films .

You could say that his love for filmmaking started thanks to Miss Rivers, a broadway and film enthusiast who loved to put on play every chance she had. And c’mon what child doesn't like to participate in a play? To put on a costume and pretend to be someone else? It was like a game for them. But for Will acting and putting on costumes wasn’t his favorite part, his favorite part was watch Miss Rivers direct and produce the whole thing. It was the making of the play, the behind the scenes that really intrigued him. Of course eventually, as the years passed he stopped acting at the plays and became his teacher’s assistant.

At this time William was filming everything he could, the school plays, his mother cooking, his father working, his siblings playing. He made his first film at the age of ten, an adaptation of one of his favorites books.

Through his whole teenage years everyone thought that William would’ve majored in something like arts, something related to filmmaking, but no. Everyone was surprised when he told his family and friends that he wanted to study English Literature. The reason he chose to study that its because he felt that studying something unrelated would give him a different take on things.

While attending college William started working as script reader, camera operator and even production assistant in television, films and music videos.For years he worked on his own short films but it was during around of his career he had made little or no success getting his projects of the ground.

In 2000, he met with a friend from college and together released their first feature, he directed, photographed and edited the film while his friend wrote the script. They didn’t have any expectations but finally William could see the light at the end of the tunnel. Their film won several awards during its festival run and was well received by critics. Thanks to the film’s success William afforded to make another one, which became his breakthrough.

After his breakthrough fellow directors and screenwriters recruited him for more projects, and slowly he started to gain more international recognition and transitioned from independent to studio filmmaking and gained further critical and commercial success with his new films.

Personal life:

So like I mentioned before, he is from England. Born in a high-middle class family. He is the second of three children. I picture his family very tight knit, very loving and supportive of everyones dreams.

He used to be married, he’s been divorced for 7 years now. He met his wife during college and even though they are no longer married, he still considers her to this day the love of his life. They met when he was 22 and majoring in English Literature through some mutual friends. You could say that it was love at first sight, or at least just in William’s case. Whenever he talks about how they met he always says that from the moment he saw her he knew that she was the one, that he had met his future wife. They dated around a year before William finally had the courage to pop the question and asked her to be his wife. Their marriage lasted 20 beautiful years and gave birth to 2 beautiful and healthy children.

For many years everything seem to be working out for William, he had a beautiful family and he was finally gaining recognition. Unfortunately what goes up eventually must come down. While he started to gain more international recognition it required him to travel a lot and leave his family behind every time he was working on a new project. For a few years they tried to make things work out between them, and even bought a house in NYC thinking that it would solve their problems, boy was he mistaken. For a brief moment it seemed that things were going to even living under the same roof there was a distance between him and his wife, things just weren't what they used to be. So after a few months of living together in New York they both of them decided that the best thing would be to get a divorce. For their sake and the sake of their children.

So now he’s been divorced for almost 7 years, of course he’s dated and has had a few girlfriends but noting ever too serious.

Personality:

Career wise he is very professional, dedicated and pretty much a perfectionist.

He is just the sweetest and silliest person you could ever meet.

He’s just the sweetest and silliest person you could ever meet, I mean he is very charismatic and likable and sometimes can come off as childish or immature, specially when he’s around his children. He loooooves to embarrass them and make them feel uncomfortable with their friends.

He’s really laid back and always tries to see the good in people, so he is likely to form friendships with whoever approaches him.

He truly cares about people, that’s why he always ends up putting everyone’s needs before his own, specially when it comes to his friends and family.

He also tends to act first and think later, which has led him to some poor decisions in his life but even after he fucks up he somehow manages to make it work.

Last but not least, he’s a hopeless romantic and a true gentleman. Sometimes he can come off as a flirt but he would never dream of disrespecting a woman.

Connections:

As far as connections go I want all of them, I would love for him to have some besties, brotps, some nephews or nieces, someone he knows from the showbiz world, someone who has worked with him in one of his films, exes, a love interest, it would also be interesting to have like a sugar baby, someone who uses him just for his money/fame, drinking buddies, frenemies, opposites attract, neighbors, he could be a good influence in someone. So yeah be sure to like this post and I’ll slide into your dm’s if you want to plot <3 !
