SYNOPSIS
The
Cannes Film Festival. It's where deals get made, producers get
laid, and stars get paid. It's where all the movie industry meets
to buy and sell all the movies on the planet. And it's where the
art of the deal can be filled with more laughs than the deal
itself.
Sy Lerner is the quintessential movie producer,
when he makes a bet that he can take any kid off the street and
turn him into a superstar overnight using the universal language
of the festival: hype. He meets Frank Rhinoslavsky and turns him
into 'Frank Rhino, one of the hottest screenwriters to hit Cannes
since Faulkner and Hemingway.'
It's not long before
celebrities and producers are lining up to meet this hot young
star. Dennis Hopper, Treat Williams, Johnny Depp, John Malkovich
and more, all want to meet the 'next Quentin Tarantino.' Sy charms
them with his own particular blend of hype and substance, and by
the end of the festival, has lined up one of the great casts of
all time. But Sy Lerner still has a few tricks up his sleeve for
his wife, Frank Rhino and the myriad of people that have invested
in this nonexistent, non-scripted film.
He drops dead. And
all the money the invested in his film goes up in smoke. But in
the end, Sy Lerner has pulled the ultimate con, making him truly
the one and only, 'Cannes Man.' Written by Clint
Weiler

"SPIRITUAL".....
Exerpt
from the film's dialogue:
Sy
Lerner: "This is a very spiritual film. This is a film
written by a poet, whose father was a poet, one of the great
American cowboy poets."
Sy Lerner: [to Jim
Jarmusch] "And in fact, this is the kind of film that you would be
perfect to direct. Now I don't know if you could handle a budget
that big, 25 million, 'cause you're not used to working with
that..."
Jim Jarmusch: "Hey, I could
handle any budget - 100 million - but I'm on a level above the
earth right now. I'm interested in spiritual...
"
Johnny Depp: "We're floating. Right now,
we're floating. Jim and I are above
you."
