______________

MR. LEE follows a groups of starving filmmakers who just can’t get a break. They can’t even get anyone to watch their latest masterpiece. One drunken night, convinced that if they could just get someone to WATCH the damn film everything would be ok, the joke is made that what they really should do is kidnap a film executive and force them to watch what they have labored over for the past few years.

"Because, once they see it, they’ll fall in love with it, and will totally forgive us for anything we might’ve had to do to make them enjoy it in the first place."

And it’s all for the sake of art, so that makes it ok, right…?

But plans go wrong, as plans tend to do, and before they know it they find themselves with more than they can handle and some very difficult decisions to make.

So close to their goal, should they give up the dream they thought they wanted just to save a few measly lives?

Or should they go ahead and let the chips fall where they may?
