Film school isn't supposed to be like high school, with angsty teens shoving one another up against lockers and spewing threats like, "Forget about the film contest. You may know a lot about old movies, but you know nothing about making one." But that's the world in which homely Cameron (Michael Angarano) hopes his talent will be discovered. He seeks out the help of Flash (Christopher Plummer), a drunken curmudgeon and former Citizen Kane crew member who resides at the Motion Picture Residence for the Elderly (not as fictitious as one would think). The two bond over their love for great film, and Flash rises to the task of serving as a mentor for the aspiring young filmmaker.
