An American Film Institute Conservatory Thesis Film
Synopsis
Christine is a working actress fading into obscurity. Day by day, she works tirelessly with the futile hope of her career getting a second wind. Like countless others in Los Angeles, she blindly follows her dream like a moth to flame, taking a toll on her family and herself.
We observe the banality of Christine's daily routines like a fly on the wall. Through her tasks, we get a glimpse of Christine's deteriorating mental state and an impending transformation.
