THE SHOT
Year: 1994
Country:
United States
Run Time:
87 minutes
Typifying the spirit and energy of the low-budget independent feature, Dan Bell's THE SHOT got made-and succeeds-despite a serious lack of time, money , film...and filmmaking experience. David Egoman, a mega-successful Hollywood director, is screening a workprint of his latest film for the studio brass at his home. Little does he realize two desperate, jealous actors, Dem Reel and Patrick St. Patrick, plan to break into his home and steal the film, then toss it onto a scrap heap where they can gleefully watch it being destroyed. The actors get more than they bargained for when Egoman is brutally assaulted during the melee and later falls into a coma. This increases the value fo the missing film can, which contain the only copy of the celebrated director's latest-and possibly last-film, and results in an all-out search for their whereabouts. Critically acclaimed when it was first produced as a play in 1989 in LA, the story was inspired by writer/director Bell's actual experiences trying to make it as an actor in Hollywood.
