His vision may never reach the big screen either due to his lack of funds and the punch he landed on a major Hollywood executive's jaw. This conundrum needs a problem solver like Arnie Green (James Wilder). Green is a Roger Corman type who has made films under the worst conditions and raised money in a variety of ways. Together, Arnie and Jake cook up a plan to burn the would-be director's house down in order to compile the scratch necessary to make this film. A fading movie actress and ex-lover of Jake's, Brenda Goodman (Joanne Baron), photographs the arson and weasels her way into the scheme as well in this darkly comedic send-up of Hollywood. [More]
