Synopsis

The film starts with the slogan: "Welcome to Hollywood... where dreams come true. Or do they?" And the film has the solution: "If at first you don't succeed, try again... and again... and again...!"

It tells the story of a young Los Angeles artist Jackson, who is faced with rejection at every turn both as an actor and as the writer of his first screenplay. His best friends Chris and Disco have always managed to put a positive spin on his failures. He loses his keys, his wallet, his job and his girlfriend. It's his worst week ever. And it's Monday! But now, after meeting Amy who has a job that puts her in direct contact with big stars, Jackson decides on his next "dream"... his first ever low-budget short film will involve a main role, for, of all people, George Clooney.

Jackson is then caught between a desire to succeed... and a desire to take care of the one person who has truly taken care of him. Convincing Clooney is a movie about not just making it, but the unpredictable road taken to get there.

gollark: Maybe. On the one hand I at least like to think I'm vaguely better than average at actually paying attention to explanations for things and won't just immediately consign them to "outgroup → bad" or "not convention → bad". On the other hand probably most people think that since people are bad at comparing things. On the third hand, which I totally have, the alternative is to just assume people doing things are probably right, which seems wrong.

gollark: No, which is why I said I didn't care that much.

gollark: > that might be valid but itS' also an easy to abuse excuse to dislike almost anything> because you can always say that you don't see the pointThis is typically why people explain things.

gollark: I don't care a huge amount either way, but it's vaguely weird.

gollark: I'm against change which isn't particularly useful-seeming and/or basically without notice.
