8. Bring on the Authors (Part 8 of 34)

DeCorey Hale sits on a stool next to Stan, watching as a crew member makes some last-minute adjustments to the lighting.

Stan and DeCorey laugh in between takes.

“I think we’re about ready,” Jared says as he presses record on the camera. “Just look directly into the lens and say your name and where you’re from.”

The small crew spends the next two hours filming an interview between Stan and his first guest author. The author’s book, “Ebenezer The Sneezer,” lays comfortably in his lap

“Man, this set looks a lot bigger on camera,” DeCorey says. 

“I know. I have to be careful how much I move,” Stan replies. 

After the filming is finished, Stan pulls the twins aside.

“I want to show you something I’ve been working on,” he says. 

Stan pulls a flier from his bag and shows the twins. They look at one another the way twins do when they’re thinking the same thing. 

Matthew looks at Stan, “I think you might have something here.”
