Description
Sometimes life isn’t funny anymore.
Bobby Devillin is one of the biggest producers in Hollywood, making a string of big-budget action films during the last two decades. But his personal life is a train wreck. Vee, his second wife hosts a Hollywood TV Magazine show. She desperately clings onto their fifteen year marriage in spite of his many infidelities. On a particular Saturday afternoon, Bobby’s life is crashing to a halt. His pregnant mistress Bonnie has flown out from New York to confront him, as his negotiations with superstar “Tom” are breaking down. While jogging with Karen, his L.A. girlfriend, she suddenly grabs his cell phone and throws it into the bushes. A suicidal actor is startled out of his moment of truth when he hears the ringing sound of a cell phone in the bush. He answers the phone, and with relish unravels Bobby’s elaborate web of deceit, by luring all the participants up to his treetop hideaway, wreaking havoc on Bobby’s world.
“’My Tiny Universe’ is a quirky comedy that takes a snapshot of the darker issues that abound in Hollywood; suicide, secrets, violence, and affairs. This movie is a joyride; definitely worth a watch!” – Maria Victoria
“Wow! This little movie had superb acting, and is just so REFRESHINGLY ORIGINAL! Well written, and I can’t imagine anyone with a modicum of intelligence not liking it. It will not insult your intelligence like so many big expensive productions do lately.” – Seabrook Britton
“This overlooked Indie features razor-sharp performances in a really brilliant script. A dark-comic gem: Tarantino meets Coen Brothers meets Edward Albee. I kept being reminded of Mike Nichols’ film version of ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?’, or of the garage scenes in ‘Reservoir Dogs’, but with Coen Brothers’ sardonic humor replacing overt violence.” – BHM
