“40 years in the making.”
Drama
At a media-swamped party to celebrate his seventieth birthday and screen his avant-garde film-in-progress, a legendary but jaded Hollywood director is faced both with voracious fans and unsettling questions about what became of his lead actor.
VIBE
A dizzying, self-aware plunge into the ego and artistry of a legendary director. It feels like stumbling through a chaotic Hollywood party, where genius and delusion collide in a haze of smoke and ambition.
