<div><p>If you're a big fan of the Oscar-nominated movie <em>La La Land</em>, you're in for a treat. </p><p>17-year-old Jacob Staudenmaier from Phoenix, Arizona loved the movie too, and that's why he decided to go all out for prom this year. But he didn't want just any girl from the school. Staudenmaier had his sights set on Oscar-winning best actress Emma Stone. </p><p>"I love <em><em>La La Land.</em></em> It was one of my favorite films of the year, and I've always loved Emma Stone as an actress, especially in her film <em><em>Birdman</em></em>," <a href="http://mashable.com/2017/04/05/la-la-land-promposal-emma-stone/#wyh.yFfGMPqk">Staudenmaier said</a>.</p><p>In an effort to get the actress's attention, he re-created the <em>La La Land</em> opening scene with his own version of "Another Day of Sun." With the help of friends and teachers, the future filmmaker, tailored the song to be a "promposal." </p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/PromProposal.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/PromProposal_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>The Wrap</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p></p><p>"I decided to ask Emma Stone to prom by recreating the opening scene from La La Land, her most recent movie," <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7j5wPwPPG8">Staudenmaier said</a>."
