Cameron is a high school student who's only goal in life is to make a movie. One day while attending a screening of Touch Of Evil at the local retro house (yeah right, a high school kid in a retro house by choice, only in Hollywood), he meets Flash madden (superbly played by Christopher Plummer). Flash is an old school gaffer who now spends his days drinking Wild Turkey and brow beating projectionists and theater managers (I'm convinced this will be how I'll spend my twilight years).
With an opportunity to win a scholarship to film school, Cameron asks Flash if he'll help him make a movie. Admittedly, it's a cliched story but the details and the all star cast keep it from being cheesy. On a quick and impressive side note, writer/ director Michael Schroeder got his start as First A.D. on Revenge Of The Ninja, The Big Easy, and Shakedown. He was also Second Unit Director on Avenging Force. I definitely recommend this one.
