Will Sterling plays a fictional version of himselfin a meta film about his attempts to make a film on his cell phone so that everyone can see what he is capable of. Of course the film was shot on a cell phone and quest mirrors his actual quest.
This is an amusing comedy that leans into it's concept with mixed results. Some times the conceit is a bit too much with some of the framing seemingly chosen to remind us that we are watching a cellphone video.
The performances are largely fine, with everyone not phoning in their performances (sorry). Though it must be said that Sterling, who is on screen for the whole film is sometimes a little too much playing toward a nebishy character in the early sequences before he decides make the film. I wanted to smack him and tell him to calm down, then again Sterling the writer should have given himself better material. The film is considerably better once the film is set in motion but at that point he didn't have to make stuff up and just follow what was happening.
Worth a look if you're interested
