The Big Picture (1989)
Nick Chapman, un joven recién salido de la escuela de cine, está a punto de realizar su sueño: convertirse en un gran director. Acaba de ser galardonado por el Instituto Nacional de Estudiantes de Cine y sabe que tiene talento. Lo que necesita es una oportunidad y le vendrá de la mano de un ejecutivo de Hollywood llamado Allen Habel. La vida de Nick se convierte de pronto en una meteórica espiral de contratos, compromisos, fiestas y todo tipo de lujos. Lo malo es que, a medida que aumenta su poder, va perdiendo a sus amigos, el amor y, lo que es peor, el respeto por sí mismo.
