The Idiot's Guide to Swindling and Amateur Filmmaking (2022)
Barry, Igor, and Butterscotch are three young amateur filmmakers with big dreams of becoming Hollywood directors. To gain recognition, the bumbling trio decide their next endeavor will be a short film about a jewelry store robbery. Meanwhile, two grifters, Larry and Terry, are tired of being small time criminals, so they plot to rob the local marijuana dispensary. When their actors drop out of production last minute, the filmmakers cross paths with Larry and Terry during their robbery, and the two crews join forces to make their dreams come true.
