Dave vs. Hollywood
DAVE vs. HOLLYWOOD is a mockumentary about an actor who moves to Los Angeles completely devoid of connections and contacts. The humiliations, rejections, indignities and missed opportunities pile up.
After a fruitless struggle Dave decides to make his mark by taking a non-traditional, unorthodox, “anything goes” approach – he joins AA purely to make connections; joins Scientology, purely to network; considers donating a kidney to an aging movie star in exchange for a role in said aging star’s film; leaves his headshot and reel on the windshields of vehicles outside the Brentwood church where a funeral for a studio executive is taking place, etc.
Are there any depths to which Dave won’t sink in an effort to make it in Hollywood? Will this kind of subversive approach work?
DAVE vs. HOLLYWOOD may sound a bit cynical. But as Dave would say, “It’s a cynical world out there.”
