Let's Make a Movie is the story of Cassie Thompson (Played by Hallie York), a college dropout and ex-film student who is tired of being disrespected and downtrodden, has decided that she's had enough. In a subconscious effort to turn her life around, she decides to make a movie with a rag-tag group of friends. The only problem is the movie is impossible for her to film without a $100 million budget, and her cast and crew are neurotic and inexperienced, to say the least. Will Cassie prevail and finish her movie, or will this become another mark on her long list of failures?

Five people attend the funeral of the beloved Alfred H. Gladstone. As they slowly drift in their reverie, they all come to face the same existential questions. Aren't the dead sometimes the most lively of us all? And, after all, aren't they all dead already?
