Most enjoyable and satisfactory indie effort about the making of a film. Unlike other versions (State and Main, Sweet Liberty, Mistress etc etc) it is just about the actual film shoot - and dreams that bounce off it. Steve Buscemi is great as the stressed director, Catherine Keener the under-pressure star. With Dermot Mulroney, Danielle von Zerneck, James Le Gros, Peter Dinklage (great as unnecessary dream appendage), Rica Martens (mother).
Didn't recognise a single name behind camera. DeCillo was a cinematographer on Jim Jarmusch films. His next film, Box of Moonlight, with John Turturro, Keener again and Sam Rockwell, sounds Jarmuschy. Also made a well rated Doors documentary When You're Strange in 2009. Since then mainly a director of TV though also made the five years in the making documentary Down in Shadowland observing people on the NYC subway. An interesting fellow!
