    • Synopsis
    • Ellie (C.M. Conway) is a bottom-feeder actress at the end of her rope in Hollywood, when a life-changing event happens with her gay Latinx friend, Ben (Adrian Gilbert). A surreal twist unfolds with comedic results blurring the lines of fantasy and reality, as she unwittingly becomes the key to a new take on Tinseltown where failure is the star.

      Their friends Kiki (Karla Acosta) and Dee Dee (Denise D.B. Garner) help guide the way, mouths agape. The race is on!

      A witty and poignant film about friends, fantasies and fails inspired by bodacious blunders of the filmmaker; and cinematic ode to the 95% of struggling actors and artists trying to make it against all odds, on their terms.

      The big-hearted indie was voted Hot Film in the Making by the Roy W. Dean Grant, selected by the renowned Sonoma Film Institute; and a champion of diversity, gender equity and inclusiveness of the LGBTQIA+ community.

      Filmed in the Bay Area and Los Angeles, including in front of the iconic Hollywood Sign. See our press coverage in The Hollywood Times, Press Democrat, Live! in the Bay on KRON4, NPR, KSRO and U.S. News World and Report.
