A movie about Hollywood? Groundbreaking.
It's Tansy's turn to pitch this week, and she has poached Charles' favourite curly haired band boys and turned The 1975's Give Yourself A Try into a weird LA indie comedy drama about a child actor with no sense of identity and her writer friend who's one break away from success.
A writer? Writing about a writer? Groundbreaking.
There's also unsuccessful alcoholism, a lot of New Zealand cultural references, a dog named Tupac and an unexpected Bruce Springsteen cameo. What a fuckin rollercoaster. This pitch has too much plot.
