Forget-Me-Nots and Fireworks

Trent Forde, Hollywood’s king of special effects, abrasive, difficult… and my boss.

Working on the set of hit TV show, Steel Force, as a make-up artist means I endure his bristly nature daily.

The crew call him ‘Sparky’ behind his back. Because when Trent isn’t happy, fireworks fly.

One evening locked in a props room together shines a light on both of our jagged edges.

And I’m shown beneath the gruff exterior, to the real special effect that is Trent Forde.

But despite him being Hollywood royalty, everyone has a past that’s shaped them.

You can try to move on, but it never forgets you.

And when your boss decides he wants you to be his, period, that past means the first take is rarely perfect.

Just like the brightest fireworks, sometimes beautiful things explode first.

What to expect – Lights, cameras, spicy action, drama, angst, family values, past trauma, flowers, stars, fireworks, zero-gravity, and of course, a happily ever after, because love always wins.
