When two friends meet up for lunch in Hollywood, their obsession with fame and a series of violent mishaps sets them on the run from the police.
A struggling actor, a delusional director, a sadistic talent agent, and a veteran cop all collide in this biting satire of millennial culture and life in the City of Angels. Buckle up… this ego trip is a one-way ticket.

"The Big Break" is a big budget action send up of this feeling of hopelessness, of fighting against a vapid industry-a sort of "Falling Down" for the Hollywood hopeful. It’s a self-aware pastiche of industry clichés married with broad action beats and satisfying one-liners. Cathartic and hilarious. It’s also an accomplished bit of filmmaking-polished and well-shot, with high production action sequences and a plethora of “name” talent. Sneakily, writer/director Gil Freston gets to make fun of the industry, while also making a polished pitch for getting work in it. - S/W Senior Programmer, Ivan Kander

Great short, Gil ! Very slick, ironic, and self-assured, as befitting a bunch of pros like you guys. Always nice to see David Arquette in anything. Thank you for this very entertaining film !

Daniel Pashtiki is a genius. I heard he was roommates with Quentin back in college and he stole the idea for Reservoir Dogs but Quentin found out and threatened to have some drama class thugs cut his ear off but I believe it's really the other way around.
