Ellie Parker

In a tour-de-force performance, Naomi Watts (MULHOLLAND DRIVE, I HEART HUCKABEES) captures the rhythms, trials and tribulations of an actor caught up in the whirlwind of her career before retreating to a personal life that is as chaotic as her professional one. Ellie races around town from one audition to another, changing make-up, clothes and personality as she speeds along, barely attending to her whirlwind life as she strives to get cast in a movie. And her best friend Sam (Rebecca Rigg), her boyfriend Justin (Mark Pellegrino) and her new fling Chris (Scott Coffey) just don`t seem to help. As Ellie considers giving up after losing faith in the craft, her manager Dennis (Chevy Chase) doesn`t exactly talk her out of it. Brimming with humor and filmed in a quasi-vérité style, the emotionally riveting ELLIE PARKER is transcendent filmmaking. An official selection in the Sundance Film Festival, 2005.
