How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A sharp satire on the compromises artists make in pursuit of financing, watching a screenwriter's vision get methodically dismantled by the egos and desires of moneyed backers. It's a cynical, witty dissection of creative corruption that doubles as a who's-who of star cameos.
