We’re celebrating the premiere digital release of our funny film about friends, fantasies and fails shot in Occidental (at OCA!), Sonoma County the Bay Area and L.A. On April Fool’s Day, visit FunnyFailureFilm.com for viewing options.

Our film was made by a local, inspired by her bodacious blunders in Los Angeles; and spills a treasure trove of secrets about Tinseltown. We’re a champion of women, diversity, gender equity and authentic, positive representation of the Latinx and LGBTQIA+ communities. Our theatrical debut was at Summerfield Cinemas, our film was selected by the renowned Sonoma Film Institute and it also screened at the American Film Market in Los Angeles!

Synopsis: Ellie (C.M. Conway) is a bottom-feeder actress at the end of her rope in Hollywood, when a life-changing event happens with her gay, Latinx friend, Ben. A surreal twist unfolds with comedic results, as she unwittingly becomes the key to a new take on Tinseltown where failure is the star.

“…true, funny and enlightening…” – Dan Taylor, The Press Democrat
