Jeremy Workman's award-winning short comedy follows the travails of a talented actress and her difficulties landing a decent movie role. A sharply written and briskly directed satire of the acting and filmmaking professions that then turns into a hilarious wish-fulfillment fantasy, it also features a lovely lead performance by Mara Hobel (whom Joan Crawford-heads may recognize as the child Christina Crawford in Mommie Dearest) and funny supporting turns from more recognizable folks like Clancy Brown, Paige Turco and Peter Bogdanovich, along with a voice cameo from the late Don LaFontaine, the voice of movie trailers.
Claire Makes It Big
Clair is an actress tired of being passed over for roles in favour of thinner but less talented girls. She "enhances" a movie by substituting herself in place of another actress, receives rave reviews and is celebrated across the country.
