The Big Picture (1989)
Directed by Christopher Guest
“Film school prepared Nick for everything... everything but Hollywood.”
Comedy, Romance, Drama · 1h 40m
Hollywood beckons for recent film school grad Nick Chapman, who is out to capitalize on the momentum from his national award-winning student film. Studio executive Allen Habel seduces Nick with a dream deal to make his first feature, but once production gets rolling, corporate reality begins to intervene: Nick is unable to control a series of compromises to his high-minded vision, and it's all he can do to maintain his integrity in the midst of filmmaking chaos.
