“What's in his head”

ComedyDrama

A renowned New York playwright is enticed to California to write for the movies and discovers the hellish truth of Hollywood.

VIBE

This is a descent into a surreal, suffocating Hollywood nightmare. It feels like a fever dream, oozing with a palpable sense of dread and existential anxiety, punctuated by moments of bizarre, unsettling humor. The atmosphere is thick with creative frustration and a creeping, inescapable menace, all wrapped in a meticulously crafted, stylized 1940s aesthetic.
