My Movie Starring Paul Dano

2025 · 94 min

A goofy, good-natured indie comedy about dream-chasing that coasts on charm and absurd ambition rather than big laughs.

Overview: The famous actor comes to Herman in a dream, convincing him to make his feature "Bear Naked Amazonians from Mars." If he makes the deadline, the film will take Best Feature at South by Southwest, making Herman an international celebrity.
How it feels: Whimsical, absurd, light and satirical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Ambition, art, celebrity, obsession
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
