The big picture Cover Image DVD DVD

The big picture [enregistrement vidéo] / story by Michael Varhol & Christopher Guest ; screenplay by Michael Varhol, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean ; directed by Christopher Guest.

Summary:

"Nick Chapman graduates from film school, and his short film wins a special prize. This gives him a high enough profile that he can get Hollywood to back the film he has long dreamed of making. Studioexec Allen Habel is interested. But Nick soon is seduced by Hollywood and makes one concession after another until his original movie is lost altogether. Worse, Nick is lost, too, turning on girlfriend Susan and old buddy Emmet. Will he come to his sense before everything is lost? "-- from publisher.
