How to Survive Hollywood
A struggling actress gets one last shot at her Hollywood dream — with just one hour to turn an unreleased Dutch movie into a $100 million sequel to “Babygirl”.
Ever since her great love mysteriously vanished, an actress in Hollywood (Monica Keena) has been drifting, her career at a dead end. Then a charismatic stranger (Martin Copping) appears with a once-in-a-lifetime chance: a last-minute pitch meeting for a $100 million blockbuster — Babygirl 2, with her as the lead.
The catch? She has exactly one hour to transform an unreleased Dutch film into the perfect American sequel. As the two race through the streets of Hollywood in a feverish quest to sell the dream, she begins to suspect the stranger knows more than he admits about the disappearance of her lover.
A playful, fast-paced road movie, How to Survive Hollywood explores the glittering illusion — and harsh reality — of Tinseltown, where thousands arrive each week chasing stardom, but only a lucky few survive.
