Oscar thinks he's special. (He's not.) Oscar thinks it's everybody else's fault. (It isn't.) Moving to London, he gives himself a year to break into acting, only to find himself waylaid by the same old problems. As he starts to become typecast as the unattractive but funny 'best friend' and struggles to make ends meet, his oldest friend and roommate Charlie starts to see his career take off, leading to things taking a turn for the worst. Say what you like, but it's tough being chubby funny.

After an abortion, a woman wanders the streets of Paris, engaging in a series of silent encounters under the neon lights of Chinatown. Taking place over the course of a single night and drawing inspiration from the writings of cult literary figures Kathy Acker, Bernadette Mayer, and Alice Notley, the film intertwines dream and reality. Shot in the reddish glow of karaoke bars, cinemas, and clubs - a collective, feminist autofiction with a cast of artists, poets, and actors.

Director: David Turpin
