Hollywood Buddha
In a tent under the skeleton of his unfinished dream house, an independent Hollywood producer struggles to keep his head above water as everything falls apart around him.
Bolstered by mantras and a $2,000-a-month rental statue of Buddha, he turns his obsessive need to release his unsaleable last feature, the aptly titled "Dead Girl," into a moneymaking venture, even if it means interpolating footage of an Indian distributor making necrophilic love to the star corpse, via blue-screen, to cinch a foreign sale.Â
From Philippe Caland, the creator of 'Boxing Helena,' the Crosslight Entertainment and YBG production "HOLLYWOOD BUDDHA" stars Philippe Caland, Theo Cardan, Victor Castorena, Betsy Clark, Marlo Gazali, Michel Nahas, Gloria Payne, Nikki Stalder and Jim Stewart.
