Bill Shakespeare in Hollywood

Synopsis
Independent feature film. "Macbeth: Creative people and dream makers are drawn to Hollywood. Yet, how many of these aspiring dreamers are shrivelled by their ambitions or eaten by their demons? Hollywood is an empire which feeds on ego, tempting people to lust for "top" status. This is Macbeth in 2011. Macbeth is a rising agent at the leading Talent Agency in Hollywood. After his victory of signing a new "IT" actor, he knows he’s going to get promoted. While on Hollywood Boulevard, three weird creatures accost him and foresee his destiny as the "King" of the film industry. His wife, Lady Macbeth, is an ambitious Beverly Hills housewife and pushes him to in-relenting success, creating a egomaniacal beast that will eventually consume them. Hamlet: How many young people in wealthy Hollywood households are suffocating inside their golden boxes, consumed by their family’s problems, their innocence lost at too young an age... " [IMDb synopsis provided by the producer].
