More on projectHide project details

Marty Goes to Hollywood is a film with no budget about a guy in a film with a big budget.

Despite getting gets his big break playing Tom Hanks' Irish brother in the movie Cloud Atlas, Marty can't afford to go to his Hollywood premiere. His pals make a pledge to get Marty to the red carpet in Hollywood and decide to film the process but Hollywood does not welcome the idea of a film being made on their turf.

In the face of adversity, the boys refuse to take no for an answer and set out on a journey of friendship, belief, surprise cameos, kilts and banjo's swapping the hills of Castlemilk for the streets of LA. The film takes a look at the reality of how a Scottish jobbing actor fits into the massive US film-industry machine.
