Why Am I Doing This?
2009, English. Directed by Tom Huang.
Lester is trying be the next Louis CK… except everyone wants him to be Chris Rock. Tony is trying to be the next Tom Hanks… except everyone wants him to be the Chinese delivery boy. Amber thinks she should be the next Jennifer Lawrence… but isn’t. Against all odds, they chase the Hollywood dream, while juggling inter-racial relationships, crazy families and the feeling that they're never going to make it.
