There's something that's eluded me since I first met Lilica... She's cute, interesting, motivated, and willing to work hard. An idol like her should really be a popular star, but why hasn't she made it in Umbraton after all this time? Unexpectedly, Lilica's attitude regarding that was a lot more optimistic than I expected. She said, "Just because I'm not a big star now doesn't mean I won't become one in the future, yes?" Lilica always talks about the future with such enthusiasm and positivity that it makes me think I have no reason to worry. And she now has a new dream—to be a movie director and to make a film that will break records in Umbraton. How hard she strives to achieve her goals has convinced me that she will truly make it one day!

Point the camera over here, %s! Right. That's it! Thanks for helping me with my biopic film. Heheh... I know most people think only famous people are in a position to make biopics about themselves, but I, Lilica, have been working hard towards realizing my dreams in Umbraton's Alleywood industry for three whole years! I really think it's time to reflect on my life and what I've done for the past three years.
Despite only being in the Alleywood movie business for three years, my ventures in film actually began thirteen years ago. I remember it was my first day of school, and I cried a river because I thought my parents were gonna send me away. At the time, a traveling cinema had just opened in my hometown of Pamila, so my parents told me that if I was a good girl and went to school, they'd take me to the movies at night. It's not like I knew what movies were, but upon hearing that, I immediately wiped my eyes clean and went to school like a good girl. So you see? There was always something magically alluring about the word "movie" to me.

Truth be told, I've long forgotten which was the first movie I watched. I only remember black and white silhouettes projected out of a black box onto a screen that seemed as tall as a two-story building high; somehow, the silhouettes became living, talking people. I asked my parents how the people who lived inside the screen could come out. They said the people on the screen were real people like us living somewhere out in the world, and that their image had been recorded on film to become the "movie" that we were watching.
You know, my favorite thing before that was having seafood. And then, after that, it became the movies. What I didn't know was that both of these things were luxuries to my family.

My parents always afforded me the best and never said no to me, but I learned when I was a bit older that we weren't wealthy, so I stopped begging them to take me to the movies. But that didn't mean that I gave up on my passion. You know what they say: When there's a will, there's a way. I'd try to climb onto trees whenever traveling cinemas were playing in our town to watch the movies for free the entire night—Not that I encourage such behavior, mind you! I also fell from the trees quite a few times because I was too absorbed in the movies... When I recovered from my injuries, I also volunteered to do chores for the rich people so I'd get a chance to check out the movie projectors in their homes.
My parents were probably concerned about me being out there every day, because they somehow procured a second-handed camera for me one day. That was the first time I realized that not only could I watch movies, I could make them myself.

I carried the camera with me all day around the busy town and its people, trying to figure out how to use it, how to shoot things so they'd look nice, how to shoot myself. It wasn't just for my own entertainment. I had a bigger dream: to star in a real movie myself. When I was 16, I decided to pursue this dream, but what awaited me in Alleywood were lonely streets, indifferent people, low salaries, and fierce competition... It was fortunate that I met the kind-hearted Mr. Kleken when I did. He tried to find all sorts of auditions for me. They were all minor roles without much pay, but to me, every unimportant character is someone whose existence matters. I know that as long as I do my job well and act to the best of my abilities, one day, I'll shine!
Cut!
All right, %s, you can put down the camera now. I've come to understand something important lately: I must create opportunities for myself! Now, thanks to this biopic, at least I can say I've finally played a leading role! Heehee.
