A lighthearted comedy about two young friends chasing their filmmaking dreams in London, built on charm, humor, and the warmth of their friendship.

Two hopeful lads from Leatherhead trying to break into the movies stumble upon the opportunity of a lifetime. Frustrated by their arty film teacher, wannabe producer Joe and his talented but neurotic director friend Baggy head to London to sell what they know is a script made of gold.
