Movie Description
A cab driver (Eric Schaeffer, IF LUCY FELL) and a bartender (Donal Lardner Ward), decide to turn their static lives around and attempt to become movie producers. There's one problem: they have no idea what the movie will be about. They do, however, know that meetings are part of the process. Through finagling and being fast-talking, they sneak into meetings with stars and producers in hopes of making their dreams come true. Phoebe Cates, Martha Plimpton, and John Sayles make guest appearances in this film based on the true exploits of stars Schaeffer and Ward.
Synopsis
Having failed to become stars in New York's hip world of experimental theater, Split and Jason find themselves turning 30 having accomplished nada. So what else should they do but embark on filmmaking careers! With a little help from their agent Sarah, Split and Jason set up meetings with some of Hollywood's most powerful people: but now that they have contacts, there's still one important thing that Split and Jason don't have... an idea.
