Things are going swimmingly for the film producer Roy Tilden, his last film is a success and he will soon receive an award for it. But his perfect day changed quickly when he takes an elevator with a keen writer. Directly after the door is closed, the emergency stop button is pressed and he is caught with a bunch of mildly different people.
Acting
Landau commits to unhinged vanity with Oscar-winner desperation.
Writing
Meta screenplay about failed movies made by struggling directors.
Director
Rafal Zielinski
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Three directors filmed different segments simultaneously, reportedly barely communicating with each other—fitting for a movie about creative dysfunction.
Made during Landau's Ed Wood resurgence, this was one of several quick paychecks he took while studios still remembered his name. The irony of playing a has-been producer was apparently lost on no one.
