Trevor B. Nagle
Ellie (C.M. Conway) is a bottom-feeder actress at the end of her rope in Hollywood, when a life-changing event happens with her gay, Latinx friend Ben (Adrian Gilbert). A surreal twist unfolds with comedic results, blurring the lines of fantasy and reality, as she unwittingly becomes the key to a new take on Tinseltown where failure is the star.

 "How to Successfully Fail in Hollywood" is the little indie that could. The film made in Sonoma County, the Bay Area and Los Angeles features friends, fantasies and fails. Visit FunnyFailureFilm.com to find it on your favorite platform. 

 This feel-good movie spills the secrets of Tinseltown and was inspired by bodacious blunders of the local filmmaker. 

 A cinematic ode to the enduring power of friendship; and the huge, unknown population of bold dreamers trying to make it against all odds. Failure has a societal stigma. The witty and poignant film looks it dead in the eye and laughs. 

 Quotes:

"... true, funny and enlightening..." Dan Taylor, Pulitzer-Prize winning Press Democrat.

 "Conway brings so much life to the film each moment she is on screen." Noah Abrams, NPR (KRCB).

 "... very touched by Conway's characterization of both grit and vulnerability."  Eleanor Nichols, Executive Director, Sonoma Film Institute.

 "In terms of raw guerilla filmmaking talent, C.M. Conway has few contemporary rivals." Gordon Durich, The Hollywood Times.

 A remarkable community grassroots effort made this indie possible and a champion of women, diversity, and gender equity with multi-award winning cinematography by Lisa Stoll. Additionally, authentic representation of the Latinx, gay communities.
