The famous actor comes to Herman in a dream, convincing him to make his feature "Bear Naked Amazonians from Mars." If he makes the deadline, the film will take Best Feature at South by Southwest, making Herman an international celebrity.
My Movie Starring Paul Dano (93 min) is a love letter to micro-budget indie filmmaking. Herman believes Paul Dano has come to him in a dream and he must make his epic Bear Naked Amazonians From Space - which will provide an Oscar nod for the fabled actor - and then go on to win Herman accolades at South by Southwest. Joined by his cast of equally delusional friends, Herman runs face-first into the pitfalls of producing without a dollar or his star talent.
