Film Independent Members, you and a guest are invited to watch Sallywood in our Film Independent Presents Online Screening Room, powered by Vision Media. A pre-recorded conversation with writer/director Xaque Gruber, producer Steven J. Wolfe and cast members Sally Kirkland, Tyler Steelman, Tom Connolly, Maria Conchita Alonso and Jennifer Tilly is included as part of this screening experience.

Based on the true story of a 20-something writer from rural Maine. Inspired by actress Sally Kirkland’s performance in the sleeper hit, Anna (Oscar nominee; Film Independent Spirit Award and 1988 Golden Globe winner), Zack takes the leap to pursue his ambitions of a Hollywood career. After driving cross-country, in a chance encounter he meets his lifelong idol the week he arrives. Sally hires him on the spot to be her assistant, where he quickly learns her career is in shambles. He dedicates himself to finding a way to land her back on the red carpet where she belongs.
