My Life as a Bus Stop

Synopsis

Trudy Jones-McCrone of Trude Films is the larger lady who is desperate to make a film but no-one is taking her seriously. Her skinny flatmate and wannabe super star actor, Luna Sea believes that he’s the best around but no-one else does. When his routine audition scene based at the bus stop, fails to win him the part in a TV pilot with producer/director/w**ker Vic Young, Luna convinces Trudy to produce his not so hot script, My Life as a Bus Stop. A mockumentary about people just trying to get on from the award winning and critically acclaimed indie filmmakers ’The Finnigans’.
