Short Cut to Hollywood
2009, German. Directed by Jan Henrik Stahlberg & Marcus Mittermeier.
Johannes Friederich Selinger is in his mid-30s and has nothing to show for his life apart from failure. Only the dream of becoming famous keeps him on track. He is now prepared to take drastic measures to achieve this. Together with two friends, he sets off for the USA, where he wants to make a movie like no other before, starring himself and his new identity John Frederik Salinger: he wants to sacrifice one body part after another in front of the camera in order to win the admiration of the masses.
