Problems arise playing the dozens in the form of boom microphones in the shot, temperamental talent (actors, to you and me) missing their cues and/or marks playing the dozens and flubbing or forgetting their lines, out of focus cameras, exploding Fresnel (pronounced "fre-nel") lights playing the dozens (these are focusable spotlights used in film, television, and theatre), noisy sets and just the general boobery of an inexperienced (i.e. cheap), inept, or uncaring crew. DiCillo really presents a very funny story here, one obviously based on his own, personal experiences as an independent filmmaker, given the level of detail including the usage of various industry terms and stereotypes (many stereotypes are based on some degree of truth). I thought all the actors appearing here did extremely well. Buscemi is great and completely believable as the frazzled director, trying to conceptualize his ideas to film, placating the emotional erratic actors and dealing with his bumbling and equally unstable production crew.
