Lisa Picard Is Famous

Actor-turned-filmmaker Griffin Dunne directs this mockumentary about the lives of struggling thespians. The film focuses on Lisa Picard (Laura Kirk), a fledgling actress about to burst on the scene thanks to a bit part in a made-for-TV movie. She is followed around by Dunne as she makes her publicity rounds with her friend Tate Kelley (Nat DeWolf), a writer/actor/militant gay activist. ‘Famous’ is populated with several direct-to-camera interviews featuring the likes of Penelope Ann Miller, Charlie Sheen, and Mira Sorvino.
