TRAILER
In this satirical look at the Hollywood industry, a clueless wannabe movie star and walking Instagram post, Tucker J. James chronicles on his vlog, his journey to fame and excess. #blessed
Alongside his best bro, his manager, and his spiritual guru, Tucker battles insecurity and a crippling need for validation with a heavy dose of toxic positivity. Fortunately, his family back home keeps him grounded, always reminding him how insignificant he is, no matter how far along he comes in his career.
As Tucker juggles how much of himself to share with the world, he reaches the height of success, only to become his own worst enemy, and go viral for all the wrong reasons.
