Independent Filmmaker Caveh Zahedi is trying to make a television show. He persuades BRIC TV, a Brooklyn non-profit Arts organization, to finance a television show whose premise is that every episode will be about the making of the previous episode. In the process of creating the show, everything can-and does-go wrong. The cast, a who's who of Brooklyn's independent filmmaking community, includes Alex Karpovsky, Eleonore Hendricks, Dustin Defa, and Onur Tukel.

This is what television is meant for, especially reality tv. It is undeniable how other television shows such as Nathan Fielder's Nathan For You and the Rehearsal are directly inspired from Caveh Zahedi's work. Zahedi is undeniably an open book in this auto movie, but it is to what extent does he accurately tell every detail rather than telling his own truth that he perceives. That's the bittersweet story though, it's his truth his honesty.
