A Film Directed by Paul Rivet

Produced by Chapman University

This comedy tells the story of screenwriter Daniel struggling to find his next story and his very own cast of characters fighting to gain control of the story within his head. We follow Daniel as he goes to the studio to make a pitch for his film and then are transported to inside his imagination as we see the characters transform from cowboys and damsels in distress, to classic film characters, superhero, boogeyman, and dream girl, back to cowboys but this time the characters change roles and there is no longer a damsel in distress, but a new hero to Daniel’s story

The film was shot at several locations, including Paramount Ranch, an Apartment in Downtown LA, a Sound Stage at Chapman University, and other various locations throughout Chapman University. Characters in the film not only became different people before the audience’s eyes but also changed to animated characters inside the writer’s mind.
