Overview
"So Extra is a feature length comedy drama about a man who moves to Hollywood in pursuit of his dream: becoming an actor. However, this is easier said than done, and he is forced to find work as a background actor to make ends meet, where he gets to know several other dreamers who help him along the way. The script seeks to explore what it takes to "make it" in Los Angeles and how to cope with the frustrations of constant rejection when all the soul wants is to create, suggesting through use of the fantastic that for the artist, achieving a higher level of meaning is possible through endurance and sacrifice. Themes of redemption, rebirth, and fighting against the odds for something you believe in are apparent in all of my works in the program." -- Abstract
