A miniature Singularity on an isolated island has popped up on Chaldea's radar where it can only be resolved by... making a film? With Chaldea roping Murasaki Shikibu and a cohort of available Servants into a hastily assembled film crew and rayshifting them to their studio, it's time for lights, cameras, action!
Or, rather, that's what should've happened if not for the fact that their screenwriter/director/editor/lead actress Murasaki took Paracelsus' drug to get some rest and promptly was out of commission for filming without having finished the script. The protagonist must now figure out how to make sense of her intended story with input from her actors along the way and complete the Singularity by themselves.
- Alternate Timeline: In a break from the usual event story mold where it's generally meant to slot within any of the three storylines with certain caveats, there are two very different versions of this event.
- The game's version takes place during Observer on Timeline Temple, featuring Dr. Roman.
- The novelization takes place during Cosmos in the Lostbelt, after the establishment of a new base in the Wandering Sea.
- Breather Episode: This is the first event with No Antagonist or even threat, it's simply a bunch of servants attempting to make a believable movie with breadcrumbs after their director and scriptwriter faints.
- The Bus Came Back: This is the first story in two years to feature Dr. Roman after his death in the Final Singularity.
- Dark Horse Victory: Ironically it seems like the canon version of the movie is interpreting Moriarty's character in a heroic manner, justifying that the coup d'etat attempt was actually for the benefit of the nation despite being introduced as the villain. Heck, its even shown that he planned his death and is now living incognito as a bartender.
- Early-Bird Cameo: This event features an unnamed amnesiac Bartholomew Roberts as "Salazar", several months before he would become officially playable.
- Foreshadowing: Jeanne Alter states that Bartholomew Roberts is bound to come back sooner or later due to the pirate's connection to the protagonist. Not only does Bartholomew Roberts become a FP servant later that year, but he also became an ally in the Atlantis Lostbelt that that was released seven months after this event.
- Great Detective: Tristan's character is a detective famous among the government while Mash's character is his assistant. This becomes an Informed Attribute once Murasaki faints because Tristan doesn't have a script to follow and lacks any experience with the mystery genre.
- King Incognito: Ozymandias and Arash's characters are the nation's former prince and his servant.
- The Lancer: Moriarty, of all people, is helping out the Protagonist as the Production Assistant.
- Lost in Character: Tristan is so enthused about playing a detective, he starts to believe that he actually has the deductive capabilities of one and tries to show them off repeatedly throughout the event.
- Motifs: Given the movie as the core concept of the event, this event heavily draws on cinema as its primary motif.
- Multiple Endings: There are five potential off-the-cuff endings that the actors can come up with, based on Murasaki's writing and their own presuppositions. Fans could vote for which one to be revealed first, with Jeanne Alter's winning.
- Tristan comes up with a heavy meta twist-filled ending where the protagonist is introduced and revealed at the last minute to be the actual villain for both the film and production this whole time at the last second after Jeanne Alter's ending was revealed to be similar to his.
- Salieri comes up with an ending which mainly comes off as him venting about his own experiences as his character is revealed to suffer from low self-esteem compared to his brilliant peers, yet keeps composing anyway.
- Jeanne Alter's ending reveals that her character and Murasaki's character are childhood friends with a bittersweet resolution as Murasaki's character does not wake up and a similar meta twist that the protagonist was the villain the entire time.
- Arash and Ryouma's endings are two different takes on the concept of confronting Moriarty's character and dealing with the fallout of the murders.
- Off the Rails: The actors go completely off the rails using what they have of Murasaki's script to write a murder mystery/conspiracy thriller when she really just wanted to write a character-focused romance. She doesn't actually mind the end product, mainly because she was unsure of her own amateur skills at writing for film and Chaldea gets the Grail at the end regardless of whose ending was used.
- Poor Communication Kills: Murasaki asks Paracelsus for medicine for her exhaustion. What she wants is something to help her stay awake after the all-nighters she pulled working on the script. What she gets is something that knocks her out until her sleep debt is repaid.
- Revealing Continuity Lapse: Dr. Roman deduces at the end of the game version's event that something has clearly gone wrong as Holmes (who distrusted Roman and only joins after Shinjuku) and Moriarty (who only can be an Archer if Bael used Phantom fusion after the destruction of Solomon's Temple) cannot be in Chaldea at the same time as him. Moriarty acknowledges this hazy mess but dismisses it on account that Roman now had the chance to meet with them at least once and have fun with the protagonist and Mash one last time. Roman quietly agrees with this assertion.
- The Show Must Go Wrong: The production after Murasaki faints is a trainwreck barely held together by the protagonist with input from Chaldea as the actors' egos get out of control and try to inflate their importance in the story. Also to top it all off, after "Salazar" regains his memories, he promptly dies and the protagonist has to somehow create a natural narrative contrivance to explain his absence.
- Sleep Deprivation: Murasaki suffers this due to being asked to write, cast, and direct a movie on ridiculously short notice.
- Trauma Button: The group plans a scene where "Salazar's" memory of his past life as Daizou is triggered by the sound of an explosion. They end up in an actual fight when the sound triggers Bartholomew Roberts's memory of being killed by cannon fire.
- Whole-Plot Reference: It's revealed after Murasaki finally wakes up that her actual intention was to create a more modern version of The Tale of Genji, but that promptly veered off-course after she passed out.
- Wife Husbandry: This appears to be the case in-story with President Cortés, who raised Gabriela as his daughter and then married her. It later turns out Murasaki conceived it as a platonic Marriage of Convenience.
