Hunter (Nick Hurley) experiences minute success in his efforts to make it bigtime as an actor in Hollywood. He chides his agent for wasting his time with auditions for chickenshit commercials depriving him of an opportunity to showcase his acting talents.
The film commences with Hunter at an audition being asked to say, “Let’s keep the party going.” Linking up with a possible date interrogated as to his future plans he states he has no five-year plan and for his one-year plan it is, “just keep the party going.” So much for a subsequent date.
His agent mentions to Hunter he is a dime a dozen in Hollywood. You need to have a link to a celebrity preferably maternal or paternal his agent quips. Harken back to the feudal system! Resourceful Hunter crafts a story he is the son of a famous actor (guess who!) his mother never told him about to avoid jeopardizing his father’s career. He is now a nepo baby treated as if people care for his success for once in his acting career (or lack of it).
Women, wine and song briefly but he is a counterfeit nepo baby exposed by his supposed father receiving a Will Smith slap of reality.
They say comedy has a dose of reality which is on the stage in this short.
Nick Hurley does a slap-up job portraying Hunter the nepo baby.
Directed and written by Ariel Gardner.
