INT. PHILIP PEARLSTEIN’S STUDIO - 2018 - DAY SUPER: NEW YORK CITY 2018 An easel with an enormous oil painting of two nudes posed with a carousel giraffe and an inflatable dinosaur towers over OLD PHILIP (94), extremely short with bottle-thick glasses, who sits on a stool, prepping his palette. In front of him, two nude models pose as depicted in the painting. Opposite him sits his daughter JULIA (50s), arty glasses and clothes that would look hip if they were on anyone else. NOTE: Scenes in Pearlstein’s studio are shot documentary-style. Julia is off camera as she interviews Old Philip. OLD PHILIP Can I just say one thing to the audience before we begin? JULIA (O.C.) Okay. OLD PHILIP (into the camera) Prepare to be disappointed. He laughs. JULIA (O.C.) What? Why? OLD PHILIP (to camera) Because this film is going to be about me just as much as Andy. (to Julia) Right? It’s my story, too. I don’t want to just be remembered as a footnote in Andy’s biography. You can’t let that happen, Julia. JULIA (O.C.) That’s why I’m making this, Dad. OLD PHILIP Okay. So what do you want to know? JULIA (O.C.) Let’s start at the beginning. page 2. INT. ART STUDIO AT CARNEGIE TECH - 1946 - MORNING SUPER: PITTSBURGH 1946 PHILIP (23), short and a bit stocky with glasses, sets up at an easel as other students prepare for drawing class. A young WOMAN sets up at the easel next to Philip’s. ANDY (18), skinny and awkward in hand-me-downs two sizes too big, looks around and zeroes in on Philip. He squeezes his easel between Philip and the Woman. She scowls at Andy and moves her easel. Andy coughs lightly to get Philip’s attention. Nothing. Coughs louder. COUGHS LOUDER. Philip looks up. ANDY (grins shyly) How does it feel to be famous? INT. PEARLSTEIN’S STUDIO - 2018 - DAY OLD PHILIP Those were the very first words Andy ever spoke to me. Which says a lot, given who he became. JULIA (O.C.) Why did Andy think you were famous? OLD PHILIP When I was a junior in high school, I swept the Scholastic Art Awards and my paintings were reproduced in Life magazine, which was the biggest thing around back then. I was the toast of Pittsburgh. That was 1941. Andy would have been all of 13. How he still remembered it was beyond me. So much had happened since then — World War II, for God’s sake. But Andy liked to know things about people, especially if they were people other people knew about.

I might be MIA (or AWOL or SOL or WTF) but that does not absolve YOU from your responsibilities. It’s #FirstPageFriday and I EXPECT ENTERTAINMENT, PEOPLE. AMUSEMENT. BEMUSEMENT. Post something or risk my wrath. #Scriptsky

I'm over the moon that ANDY & ME is once again a finalist for the #pageawards!

A young painter swears to watch over bff Andy Warhol in 1950s New York, but Andy's endless demands sabotage his career and love life—leaving wounds his daughter reopens decades later. #truestory
