Description:

Bobby Taylor, a young man working at a hot-dog stand while pursuing acting, gets his big break with the lead role in Tinseltown Studios' "Jivetime Jimmy's Revenge." His grandmother disapproves of the film, but Bobby views it as a path to fame. As he enters Hollywood, he has unsettling dreams that satirize common stereotypes about African-Americans in the film industry. These dreams make him question his ambitions and how they affect his image as a role model for his brother. This story about growing up explores identity, honesty, and the struggle for success against societal pressures and biases.
