Tagline
Willie is producing a movie. Willie is dead broke. Willie has a crazy deadline. Willie make it?
Overview
Willie, a struggling filmmaker with great potential and lofty artistic goals, finds his post-film school life with his fiancé tougher than he imagined. When his best friend comes up with a truly harebrained idea, Willie breaks down and decides to make an intentionally bad movie as a money grab means to an end. Once Willie secures his cast, crew, and a partnership with a disturbingly sketchy financier, his production is thrown into total chaos and mayhem. Can he complete his movie before his whole world crashes down?
