FRANCISTOWN FILM FESTIVAL, DAY ONE
Jonathan: Hello everyone! I'm Jonathan Wright, and this is my co-presenter, Mary Phillips.
Mary: Hi!
Jonathan: Today, we are celebrating the commencement of the First Annual Francistown Film Festival! Let's take a brief look at the films that made it into the finals, shall we?
Mary: Sure!
Mary: Wow, Jonathan, those previews look great!
Jonathan: They sure do! Now, we shall see a Francis Award trophy, and then list the categories in which the films we have may win one or more Francis Awards.
Mary: The Francis Award trophies are plated in 24-karat gold, and are set on a base of Grandian hardwood with a golden plaque, on which is etched the name of the recipient of the trophy, and what he or she recieved it for. The categories which a Francis Award may be bestowed for are: Best Actor; Best Supporting Actor; Best Actress; Best Supporting Actress; Best Animated Film; Best Cinematography; Best Costume Design; Best Director; Best Film Editing; Best Makeup; Best Original Score; Best Original Song; Best Picture; Best Sound Editing; Best Sound Mixing; Best Visual Effects; Best Original Screenplay; and Best Stunt Coordination.
Jonathan: Those sure are a lot of categories! I'll wager that every film here will be nominated for at least one, there are so many categories!
Mary: I'll bet you 10 Enieo that that won't happen!
Jonathan: It's a deal then! Anyways, before we begin the first film, let's all welcome our special guest for today! I think you've all heard of him! Please rise now, and welcome His Imperial & Royal Majesty, Charles the First, King of Grand, Emperor of Belluterra, King of Malo, Prince of Tarskya, Grand Duke of Royale, Duke of Long Island, Count of Skarr, Count of Creek, and Count of Lake Tranquil!
Mary: Wow, that title's a mouthful!
Charles: Yeah, that sure is. Anyways, I can't wait to see which of these films will win awards! Some of these films I've seen before, and others I haven't, so I'm really excited to see the new films, while I wouldn't mind seeing the ones I've already seen, as they're quite good.
Jonathan: Well, now let's sit back and enjoy the first film, Fall of the Imperium, directed by Martin Alathocaron, and starring John Strattford as General Julius, Nicolas Princeps as Antonius, and Emma Salathon as Bella. It chronicles the final years of the Anatheonian Empire, which was the largest empire to rule Eastern Althena. As you might guess, it was made in Greater Morsco.

Mary: That film was amazing! I really enjoyed it!
Jonathan: The plot didn't interest me so much as the soundtrack, which you'd have to admit was pretty well done.
Mary: Indeed. Anyways, what's next on the list?
Jonathan: Well, the next film would be the Ruterian film Pirates of the Alcadean: The Curse of the White Chest, starring Sam Benkings as Captain William Smith, John Greene as Wallace Seen, Nuria Jolla as Victoria Geart, James Clark as Governor Josh Geart, and Jose Mero as Captain Rojassa.
Charles: This film I didn't see before; it looks like it will be interesting.
Mary: This film follows Captain William Smith, a pirate, and his acquaintance Wallace Seen, a blacksmith, as they search for Victoria Geart, the love of Wallace's life, who has been kidnapped by the feared pirate Captain Rojassa, who, along with his crew, is under a curse, doomed for eternity to neither live, nor die, unless a blood sacrifice is made.
Jonathan: Wait, Rojassa kidnapped Victoria because...
Mary: Hush! The movie has already begun!
*2 hours, 25 minutes later*
Mary: This genre of film is not usually the type I watch, but this particular film was quite good! What do you think about the film, Your Highness?
Charles: I agree with you!
Jonathan: Well, on to our final film for today, which comes from Utrova: Inception, directed by Stanislaw Walzak, and starring Stanislav Feoderov as Leonid Cobb, Oksana Ivanovich as Adriana, Joseph Levit as Artur, Tomas Hardov as Eames, and Dilov Raov as Yusef. The plot involves a group of people in Orkovgrad, the Utrovan capital, who, at certain times, travel through people's dreams to find important secrets.
Mary: Oooo, mysterious! Sounds cool!
Jonathan: Well, here we go then!
*2 hours, 48 minutes later*
Charles Now THAT was an interesting movie!
Mary: It surely was!
Jonathan: What was so interesting about it?
Charles: Heh, well, I guess everyone has his or her own likes and dislikes.
Jonathan: Hey, I was just kidding about it being boring! My true opinion is that, while probably not the most interesting movie I've ever seen, it's definitely worth watching.
Mary: That's essentially what I thought as well.
Jonathan: Really?
Mary: Uh-huh.
Jonathan: I see. Well, I believe that's it for tonight, everyone! Khot hap ee ko, and please come back tomorrow for Day Two of the Festival!
Mary: Goodbye everyone! And once again, thank you, Your Highness, for coming to the Festival today.
Charles: And once again, you're most welcome, Mrs. Phillips. Goodbye, and have a pleasant evening!
