Synopsis
A documentary filmmaker depends on his friend's airline employee benefits for free flights. When the friend finds a girlfriend, he desperately tries to preserve his travel privileges.

This indie meta-comedy about filmmaking strikes a nerve with audiences who recognize themselves in its uncomfortable portrayal of creative ambition and toxic friendship dynamics. While praised for its authentic depiction of indie filmmaking culture and genuinely funny moments, viewers are divided on its protagonist Simon - a character so realistically awful that he becomes both the film's greatest strength and most polarizing element.

Super uncomfortable and almost scary watching bro drive a wedge between him and his seemingly only friend (and roommate!!) just to keep flying standby. I’ve never done it, but I have to imagine standby being the worst way to travel. No guarantee you get on the plane. No…
