- Clair is an actress tired of being passed over for roles in favour of thinner but less talented girls. She "enhances" a movie by substituting herself in place of another actress, receives rave reviews and is celebrated across the country.
- Jeremy Workman's award-winning short comedy follows the travails of a talented actress and her difficulties landing a decent movie role. A sharply written and briskly directed satire of the acting and filmmaking professions that then turns into a hilarious wish-fulfillment fantasy, it also features a lovely lead performance by Mara Hobel (whom Joan Crawford-heads may recognize as the child Christina Crawford in Mommie Dearest) and funny supporting turns from more recognizable folks like Clancy Brown, Paige Turco and Peter Bogdanovich, along with a voice cameo from the late Don LaFontaine, the voice of movie trailers.—anonymous
- Did anyone ever believe Hollywood wasn't a bag of tricks? Claire Beaumont has integrity, ambition, talent, a playwright boyfriend with a hot screenplay and the leading role written just for her. What more could a girl want? So, when Claire is beaten out for the role by a "babe," she takes on her biggest role yet: to get even by manipulating the dream factory with the latest technical know-how. Fast, furious, and funny, this clever study of filmmaking offers a glorious insight into the sometimes desperate plight of actors and the machinations of the film industry.—Melbourne International Film Festival
