When once-up-and-coming indie film starlet Halley Feiffer loses her boyfriend, her agent and her career in one fell swoop she finally realizes that something in her life has got to change... she has to become WAY MORE FAMOUS! Armed with a stolen script and two pitchers of sangria, Halley enlists the help of her brother Ryan and his boyfriend to make her own movie, starring herself (of course) as herself, and any A-list celebrity she can land along the way.

VIBE

A sharp, anxious dive into the desperate pursuit of fame. It's a meta-comedy that feels both cynical about Hollywood and surprisingly earnest in its portrayal of ambition gone wild. Perfect for a self-aware laugh.
