Who's the Caboose?
Synopsis
A documentary team gets a grant to do a film on a rare fatal disease that is attacking homeless people. However, they quickly find the film too depressing. Ducking into a nightclub, they discover a young Manhattan comedienne and decide instead to follow her as she makes the circuit of auditions in L.A. as she tries to get a TV pilot. Unfortunately, she has failed to tell her boyfriend of this move. He decides he will trail her out west. There, the boyfriend runs into an old friend who has already made a break on a TV pilot. Seizing the opportunity, the actress turns her attentions to the established actor. However, the actress goes nowhere in auditions, but her ex-boyfriend is suddenly noticed and becomes the next hot prospect.

I made a movie one time with some friend trying to figure out what a POD is. I want to make a book but it has to have some good "voices" in it. This is what I think it should be about: I wonder what you do in your backyard? I always think there's so much to do there, but when I get out there, I remember how busy I am at home. I don't know how we'll ever get to do all the things we want to do in the yard, but we'll keep working on it. I'm currently reading The White Darkness by Marcel Theroux.
