The film follows Adrian Caldwell, the visionary founder and CEO of Act 3, an A.I. filmmaking technology startup, as he and his wife Helen relocate from Seattle to Hollywood to immerse themselves in the heart of the film industry. Their journey is both professional and deeply personal, as they risk their home and financial security to pursue Adrian’s dream of democratizing filmmaking through artificial intelligence. The narrative unfolds against the vibrant, chaotic backdrop of Hollywood, and later, international locations as the Act 3 team supports indie filmmakers around the globe. The story is driven by Adrian’s idealism and commitment to empowering creators, but he faces mounting obstacles: entrenched industry interests, predatory private equity firms, and even betrayal from within his own company. The central conflict revolves around the proposed Film Distribution Fee Act, a set of laws designed by powerful financiers to crush indie filmmakers and consolidate control. Adrian and his team must decide whether to compromise their values for survival or fight for a more equitable future.
