Robert Margolis, one of the co-directors, plays Robert, an actor who struggles to distinguish himself from his character in this intense and often funny film about acting, getting older, and the dangers of ambition. Over 18 months, a documentary crew closely follows Margolis as he navigates a series of unsuccessful auditions, capturing his moments of embarrassment and small victories while pursuing a breakthrough role. As he faces pressure to abandon his career, a meeting with acclaimed filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich ("The Last Picture Show," "Papermoon") profoundly alters his path, though not in the way he expects.
