“Now More Than Ever!”

MysteryDramaThriller

A Hollywood studio executive is being sent death threats by a writer whose script he rejected - but which one?

VIBE

Immerse yourself in a sharply satirical and cynically witty journey through the cutthroat world of 90s Hollywood. It's a tense, darkly comedic unraveling of ambition and moral compromise, wrapped in an Altmanesque gaze. Feel the industry's glamorous facade crumble under the weight of its own self-importance and dark secrets.
