Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
Filmed in 1993, this comedy is filled with actors who have since found niches as stars and supporting actors in independent films. The story is set in Brooklyn where recent film-school graduate Les is attempting to make a documentary. When he learns that whole community has been grieving over the strange disappearance of young boy Jimmy Hoyt, son of Harold and Holly and brother of Tommy and Ed. Les begins looking into the mystery and filming it and as he goes, he decides to make a riotous comedy of the4 process. Along the way he encounters the FBI, the Catholic Church, the Mafia and a raft of daft fringe people.
