Mistress
The Director Had A Vision. The Producers All Had Girlfriends.
Directed by Barry Primus
Produced by Meir Teper, Tribeca Productions
A satirical comedy about artistic compromise in Hollywood, where a screenwriter's vision is progressively dismantled by the competing egos and mistresses of his financial backers.
A comedy about a screenwriter (Wuhl) whose old movie script is read by a producer (Landau) and the search for financial backers begins. But it seems that each money source (Aiello, DeNiro, Wallach) has his own mistress that he wants put into the film. Gradually, the screenwriter is forced to make changes to his script to accommodate these backers until he finally sees no semblance of his original ideas in the writing.
