Director Bert LaBonté (Topdog/Underdog) steers this alarmingly timely and ‘wickedly funny’ (The Standard) work starring newcomer Donné Ngabo (Last Days) and international screen star Alan Dale (24, The O.C.) to its blistering conclusion.

It’s the so-called Golden Age of Hollywood, fuelled by big money and heady ambition. Paranoia simmers beneath the surface and McCarthyism casts a shadow of fear. A young Sidney Poitier arrives at a television studio with a careerdefining opportunity on the table. All that stands between him and a breakout lead role is a signature on a contract – or so he thinks. When the network’s fast-talking lawyer begins firing loaded questions, and the screenwriter’s loyalty to Poitier is called into question, the meeting takes a sinister turn and the cost of ambition becomes alarmingly clear.

One room, one conversation, everything at stake.
