Hollywood beckons for recent film school grad Nick Chapman, who is out to capitalize on the momentum from his national award-winning student film. Studio executive Allen Habel seduces Nick with a dream deal to make his first feature, but once production gets rolling, corporate reality begins to intervene: Nick is unable to control a series of compromises to his high-minded vision, and it's all he can do to maintain his integrity in the midst of filmmaking chaos.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sharp-edged comedy about the collision between artistic idealism and Hollywood machinery, following a young filmmaker's education in compromise and survival. The film finds humor in the painful gap between a creator's vision and what commerce demands.
