- Quotes
The Producer: Personally, I think you have no business being in show-business. But if that's what you wanna do, you 're gonna have to work very hard. And that's the business part. So if you wanna be in show-business, you gotta work on the business. You don't work on the business, there's no show. No show, no business. No business, no show. You understand? Good luck to you.
- Crazy creditsWoodrow Wilson (former President of the US) as "Still Photographer". The crew of the film was staying in a big house at Woodrow Wilson Road and Mulholland Drive during the shooting.

Featured review
Willing to become a movie -star ?
Great film from a small country. Is it so difficult to become a movie star ? Is the American dream still existing ? Micheal BLANCO reveals all... A film that deserves all your attention ! Belgian transplant Michael Blanco didn't just move to Hollywood to act he's burdened with movie star ambitions to become his country's successor to Jean Claude Van Damme. Problem is, Michael's short of stature, hair, and talent, with an accent that turns his monologues into mumbles. Writer/director Stephan Streker's muted and mesmerizing film stands apart from the Hollywood pack, revamping the streets of LA with an alien, dusty "glamor" that sustains Michael as he shuttles between failed auditions and menial jobs, never giving up his dreams of "super-stardom".
