The Trainer

2024 · 95 min

A frantic, cringe-inducing sprint through L.A. as a delusional dreamer's lies pile up, equal parts awkward comedy and anxious satire.

Overview: Jack Flex is broke, buff, and wildly delusional—but he’s got a dream: to sell his absurd invention, the Heavy Hat, on his mom’s favorite shopping channel. When a desperate producer gives him a shot, Jack’s web of lies—celebrity clients, Hollywood fame—starts to unravel. With just one week to turn fiction into fact, he sprints through L.A. in a chaotic quest for credibility, hope, and a shot at stardom.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, tense and cynical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Ambition, deception, celebrity, obsession
