Would-be filmmaker, Randy Calhern is coping with life in Hollywood. He deals with paying the rent, panhandlers, nosy neighbors and a number of ghosts from Old Hollywood who keep showing up to taunt him. He works as a projectionist at a repertory cinema, is obsessed with movies especially those from the Golden Era of Hollywood. Randy is equally enamored of drinking. He falls in love with a faded B-movie actress of the 1950’s who lives in his apartment building. As he cons her into believing he’s orchestrating her comeback, things begin to go awry. And soon Randy’s drinking and delusion lead him to his own decline.

“Russell Blair’s rapturous 16mm Photography and Kay Bay’s inventive Production Design locates the time period between Hollywood’s past, present, and future. Dallas filmmakers Glen Coburn and Kay Bay made this surreal, black-and-white, Hollywood-Eats-Your-Soul movie mostly on location in Dallas, with guerrilla-style exterior shooting in Tinseltown, where they had to duck the fuzz to avoid having to pay their way through the Los Angeles’ Film Commission's spiderweb of red tape.”
