Wonderfully written satire of fame and all that come along with that ride. Well acted and well written. Recommend.

Thought provoking and original. The Next Big Thing is a fresh and modern take on the desire for fame and how far people are willing to go

Documentary style narrative story telling is one of the handset things to do and this succeeded in bringing the genre to a new place.

The Next Big Thing is a fun and funny indie comedy. Chuck wants to film his reluctant friend Julian's everyday life and make it into a movie. I really liked the line: "We're making a movie about being famous... so I can become famous." It felt like that really spoke to modern day celebrity culture and the seemingly near universal yearning to be the next breakout Youtube or social media star. But what I think makes The Next Big Thing refreshing to me is Julian's reluctance and unease about all of this, and the messiness that ensues, as well as the raw nature of a friend just kind of picking up a camera and following you around that felt more realistic and unpolished as compared to what would occur in a Hollywood production of a similar plot line. The acting is also pretty good here and you'll notice some familiar faces like Jonathan Lipnicki ("the human head weighs eight pounds" haha), Lou Ferrigno (The Hulk!), and others. Enjoy!

Clever faux-doc on one man's path toward desired fame. Fun, serious, and unexpected moments with good actors in a thoughtful story. Recommend.
