Summary

The Big Break

The Big Break

The Big Break is a 2018 action short film written and directed by Gil Freston, stars David Shabtai, Gil Freston, David Arquette



Plot

When two friends meet up for lunch in Hollywood, their obsession with fame and a series of violent mishaps sets them on the run from the police.

A struggling actor, a delusional director, a sadistic talent agent, and a veteran cop all collide in this biting satire of millennial culture and life in the City of Angels. Buckle up… this ego trip is a one-way ticket. A Gil Freston Film.

“The Big Break” is a big budget action send up of this feeling of hopelessness, of fighting against a vapid industry—a sort of “Falling Down” for the Hollywood hopeful. It’s a self-aware pastiche of industry clichés married with broad action beats and satisfying one-liners. Cathartic and hilarious. It’s also an accomplished bit of filmmaking—polished and well-shot, with high production action sequences and a plethora of “name” talent. Sneakily, writer/director Gil Freston gets to make fun of the industry, while also making a polished pitch for getting work in it. — S/W Senior Programmer, Ivan Kander
