Description:
Lisa Picard (Laura Kirk) isn't famous, but she wants to be. She's an aspiring actress who's been chosen by a documentary filmmaker (Griffin Dunne) who wants to record what happens when someone hits it big; does the new star change, or does the surrounding world change? Lisa Picard Is Famous is a brutal satire of actors, as funny and as savage as its sister mockumentary Waiting for Guffman. The movie follows Lisa as she goes from a soft-porn cereal commercial to a bit part in a TV movie with Melissa Gilbert, while her best friend Tate (Nat DeWolf) writes and stars in an off-Broadway hit. Along the way are genuine (maybe) interviews with celebrities like Buck Henry and Carrie Fisher, who have their own mordant perspective. Theater and movie people may find that Lisa Picard Is Famous cuts a little too close for comfort. --Bret Fetzer
