The Story
Wigs, Drugs, Bad-Ass Fights, & All The 90s Nostalgia.
A Dark Girlie Comedy about ambition, bad decisions, and the price of wanting more.
At a time when life seemed simpler...
Dean and Charlie, BFFs, both 30, are chasing the Hollywood dream the hard way: waitressing at a dead-end diner, waiting for their big break. When eviction looms, they take a last-minute cash gig from their shady manager, an easy catering job at a Hollywood Halloween party.
Female friendship has always been an integral part of my life. Growing up, seeing these relationships on screen inspired me. I thought that if I could have that, I'd be okay. This story lives in the messy, silly, complex truth of it, and the comfort of knowing someone is always in your corner.
One reckless move turns their side hustle into a point of no return, pulling them deep into L.A.’s underground cartel world. The girls hustle, scheme, and self-destruct their way through love, career, and loyalty - forced to confront how far they’re willing to go to “make it”… and what it might cost them.
