A talented actress struggles to land a decent movie role in this award-winning short comedy. The film is a sharply written and directed satire of the acting and filmmaking professions that turns into a hilarious wish-fulfillment fantasy. The lead performance is lovely, delivered by Mara Hobel, and supported by funny turns from Clancy Brown, Paige Turco, and Peter Bogdanovich, with a voice cameo from Don LaFontaine.
