A 20 minute story told in one complete take, no cuts.

 

Grant Dempsey, a seemingly once-prominent actor confined to community theatre, enters the chaotic world of an amateur stage production. As he struts through the theatre, he encounters Bella, the overwhelmed stage manager, and Tommy, a young actor balancing theatre with school assignments. Grant's narcissistic attitude and inflated sense of self-worth create friction with the cast and crew, including a bickering couple, Laura and Kyle, and the absent young star, Steve.

Grant's self-centered monologues and dismissive behaviour toward others highlight his struggle to accept his diminished career. He dismisses Bella's attempts to manage the production as a young woman, derides Tommy's dedication, and belittles Steve's budding success in film.​

The film is currently in festival rounds and will be available to watch online soon.
