About
Michael Burgess is an academic who has written a scholarly book on the American Revolution which Hollywood has bought the film rights to. The arrival of the film crew seriously disrupts him as actors want to change their characters, directors want to re-stage battles, and he becomes infatuated with Faith who will play the female lead in the movie. At the same time, he is fighting with his crazy mother who thinks the Devil lives in her kitchen, and his girlfriend who is talking about commitment.
A frantic, neurotically precise performance from the lead captures the agony of an intellectual watching his life's work turn into a Hollywood circus. Amidst the chaos of film sets and historical revisions, a surprising spark ignites between the scholar and a rising star.
