Brown Paper Bag
Archie Glass is attempting to break into Hollywood in 1942. His opportunity comes when he is offered a job: find a young white movie star before the press reports that she is missing, and he will have a chance at his Hollywood dream. Thus begins a journey into a Los Angeles you've never seen before, with the actors who play maids, busboys, and background actors in jungle films all springing into the foreground in this dramatic noir about a man willing to go to any length to make his dream come true. Archie hunts Hollywood's dark alleys and discovers far more lies than truth. He eventually finds the woman he seeks, as well as the harsh reality of being a black man in Hollywood.
