"Ellie Parker" is a fascinating look at the life of an aspiring actress in Hollywood. It's more of a drama than comedy in that what she goes through is anything but funny. The movie, shot on digital, looks like an extended YouTube blog and I mean that in a good way. It gives the film a very intimate quality as we follow Ellie Parker through her various stops in her everyday life as an actress trying to make her break. We, the viewer get to see much of Los Angeles through her journey. It's a really engaging experience.
Frankly I am astonished at the low rating this film has gotten. My guess is that there are probably too many aspiring filmmakers and actors/actresses looking at this film with very jaded eyes. For someone not living in Los Angeles or actively pursuing an acting career, "Ellie Parker" is sure to be an eye-opening. Well worth a look!
