I wrote this film while a student at the National Film School in the late 1970's. It was set in London and intended to be shot in black-white. 10 years later, it was produced in LA with Limelight Productions (also did Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles). Shortly thereafter, Limelight went bust, as did the distributor, and the film was abandoned. I exercised my authorship rights and copyrighted the film in 1994, and again this year. I am now trying to self-distribute it, using various internet outlets. I have a 35mm print and can show it at festivals.

Film synopsis: 
On the dark side of Hollywood, B-Movie maven Harry Costas (Burt Young) is forced to protect the screen legacy of his wife Helga (Lainie Kazan) when a low-life upstart producer threatens to ruin her image. Harry's goons (Alex Winter + Brad Dourif) intend to screw-up the production, but instead they skewer the stars, which brings in some bungling cops (Al Ruscio and the late Dr. Timothy Leary).
