SCENE

Synopsis

Actor Gary gets his big break in a feature film but things just couldn't seem to get any worse. Gary is playing the part of Nathan, an gangster with a conscience determined to cut his ties with the underworld fraternity but he just can't seem to find the right emotion to nail the scene.

The director's method of working is too unconventional and the cold hearted crew are wilting rapidly as the takes roll on.

Will poor Gary finally hit his mark or will he slide into obscurity and remain in television for the remainder of his career?
