Andy Warhol famously said that in the future, everyone will have their 15 minutes of fame. But for lots of people, simply being famous isn't enough; you've got to be more and more famous, "way more famous" even.
Enter indie starlet Halley Feiffer, who plays an exaggerated version of herself in this increasingly meta commentary on fame and filmmaking. Feiffer is best known for her role in the 2005 film THE SQUID AND WHALE, but when she suddenly loses her boyfriend, career and agent all at once, she embarks on a shameless mission to become as famous as she possibly can.
Fueled by sangria and desperation, Feiffer ropes her brother Ryan (co-writer Ryan Spahn) and his boyfriend Michael Urie (the film's actual director) into making a movie that will project them all into a higher level of stardom. What ensues is an over-the-top, star-speckled romp through the sweet highs and gritty lows of the quest for modern day fame.
