Shot on a shoestring budget and featuring a variety of surprising celebrity cameos, actor/writer/director Ryan Williams' incisive showbiz comedy tells the tale of a small town casting director torn between chasing his dream and living his life. Curtis Clemens (Clint Palmer) was on the verge of realizing his biggest accomplishment when he hit rock bottom at the Sundance Film Festival. Now the only person capable of pulling Curtis back from the brink is his old college pal Kevin Prouse (Ryan Williams). Unfortunately for Curtis, Ryan is a failed acting coach and raging alcoholic currently locked in throes of a bitter divorce. Abby Singer features appearances by such notable film figures as Jake Gyllenhaal and Stockard Channing.
