Big Breaks

2008 · 37 min

A sharp, cringe-inducing comedy about Hollywood errands that escalate into petty betrayal, making you squirm and laugh at the same time.

Overview: Penny and Sam work for a notoriously mean spirited, selfish, and somewhat abusive big fish Hollywood producer, MJ Siegel. They run a day's worth of outrageous and demoralizing errands for her, and end up turning on one another when Penny's movie idea is stolen, pitched, and sold to MJ by Sam as her own idea. - Written by David Krumholtz
How it feels: Satirical, cynical, absurd and dark. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Betrayal, ambition, work, power

Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
