Ralph Fiennes stands center frame. He wears a white shirt that reaches half way up his neck. His face is slightly angled towards the right of frame as he looks off in the distance at something. His brows are slightly furrowed and his lips are pressed together and slightly stretched into a tight line as if confused or concerned at what he is looking at. Behind Fiennes stands several people as if in a formation. They all stand straight and attention as if waiting for Fiennes orders. They all wear a white shirt like Fiennes with a navy blue apron over. The walls of the room they are in are dark grey with chrome over hanging lights, similar to what you would find in an upscale restaurant kitchen.

Paul Dano and Michelle Williams sit in a movie theater with Mateo Zoryon Francis-Deford sitting between them. Dano wears a gray wool blazer with a white button-up underneath and a rusty-red bow-tie. He wears glasses and seems to be watching whatever is on screen intently. To his right sits Francis-Deford only coming up to Dano's shoulder. He wears a red sweater vest and matching bow-tie with a white button-up underneath. He stares up at the screen in wonder, eyes wide, mouth open. Williams sits in the next seat over to Francis-Deford's right. She also wears a white button-up, however the her shirt has ruffles lining the strip of buttons in the middle. Thick black straps from a sweater or dress can be seen on her shoulders, the rest of her blocked by an empty red chair in front. Instead of watching the film like her companions, she looks over at the corner of her eyes at Dano, watching him as he watches the film on screen. Surrounding them is a packed theater of people.

Daniel Radcliffe stands center frame staring straight ahead. His hair is in a loose curl afro. He is wearing gold wire-framed aviator seeing glasses and has a trim mustache that just meets the corners of his mouth. His face is stoic, almost expressionless, but his eyes look off in the distance with a twinkle of wonder. The top of a blue and white accordion can be seen held in front of Radcliffe's chest, his brightly teal patterned shirt peeking out behind just at his shoulders. Behind him is an orange curtain. A string of colorful paper garland sits along the base of ceiling where it meets the wall. A young man stands behind Radcliffe to his left. He too stares forward expressionless, only the chest up of him seen. He wears a cream and brown striped shirt. To either side of Radcliffe are accordions. Only the keyboard keys are visible on the one to Radcliffe's left, with fingers playing the keys. The one of Radcliffe's left is also cut off by the frame, the other end of the accordion visible.

Anthony Hopkins and Banks Repeta sit together on a bench in a park, an otherwise empty street behind them except for one green car in the left. Hopkins wears brown fedora and a dark grey coat. The coat is buttoned, allowing for only the collar of a white button up with a red tie to be visible underneath. Hopkins has his right arm around Repeta, his black gloved hand resting on Repeta's shoulder. Hopkins' chin rests on Repeta's head, as Repeta leans against Hopkins chest, his reddish curly hair a uncombed. Repeta wears an army green jacket, a grey flannel peaking out slightly from underneath. Repeta looks out at the park as Hopkins looks off to the left, his mouth open as if in mid conversation.

Brendan Gleeson sits in the middle of a room on a wooden chair next to a small end table with a large window to his right. The room is bare with nothing on the walls except a small landscape painting next to the window on its right side. The window provides the only light, the rest of the room and its limited possessions fading into shadow. Gleeson stares at the floor, his lips slightly parted. His hands rest in his open lap as he loosely holds a pen. He is wearing a dark blue long sleeve with a brown buttoned sweater vest and black pants. Gleeson's absent expression shows that he is unaware or unconcerned by Colin Farrell peering in at him from the large window. Farrell stares at Gleeson from outside the room his expression confused, the light of the day shining behind him.

Kate Blanchett stands right of center. Her eyes are softly closed as she smiles with her head slightly raised upwards giving an air of euphoria in her expression. She wears a tailored black suite with a white waistcoat and shirt. Blanchett's left arm is raised up by her waist while her right arm holds a baton slightly higher. Her arm and baton are blurred from the quick motion of her waving it. Blanchett stands in front of a dark background, but hazy outlines of audience's faces can be seen behind her.

Bette Midler stands in the center of the image wearing a green cloak and matching dress. She holds a large book in her right arm while her left arm is slighting raised. She looks up slightly toward the sky, misty in her wooded surroundings. Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker stand behind Midler, with Najimy on her left. Najimy is partially blocked by Midler's raised hand and spread-out fingers, but Najimy's open-mouthed face is just visible, expressing a sense of glee. Parker stands to Midler's right, her cloak outstretched by her right arm, smiling. She is in a red dress and matching cloak.

Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe. She sits sideways on a red velvet couch, leaning against one of the arms with her legs kicked up. She caresses a newspaper in one arm in her lap, and her other arm rests partially on the couch arm with her hand in a fist resting against her chin. She wears short khaki pants and a black turtleneck with the sleeves pulled up to her elbow. She wears a blonde curly wig. Behind the couch, a grey wall.

Mia Goth is seen from a low angle from the chest up. She wields a standard wood-cutting axe, with both hands gripping it near it head. She has it raised above her shoulders, and the picture is a bit blurred as she is still in the motion of either bringing it up or swinging it down. She wears a red dress with poofy shoulders, her hair is held back by a bow, and her mascara has run down her cheeks and dried, suggesting she finished crying some time ago. In the background: Sky with clouds, a bit of tree foliage can be seen in the bottom right corner.

Brian O'Halloran wears a "quickstop groceries" button down with a blue t-shit underneath. He stands to the right of Jeff Anderson, who wears the same button-down over a graphic t-shirt with words that cannot be made out, and a backwards baseball hat. Both men look confused, as if they are about to ask a question. they are seen from the stomach-up. In the background: a book shelf, some shelfs with knick-knacks against a white wall.
