Overview

Stephen Walker is a neurotic British filmmaker with a mixed track record and a great idea: to give audiences a peek inside the world of filmmaking by documenting the madcap adventures of four fledgling directors at the annual Cannes Film Festival. Walker's cast of Cannes hopefuls includes an unknown American with a full entourage, a Rastafarian who hijacks a phone booth to use as his office, a first-time French director with a film in the official competition, and a London cabbie who drives to Cannes in a van emblazoned with a giant marijuana leaf, hoping to raise money for his film called Amsterdam. Walker himself plays a starring role in this wild romp, always near a breakdown as he tries to film these four in their determined, and sometimes lunatic, quests to be discovered.
