The film also marks the final film role of actor Michael Lerner, before his death in 2023.

Plot

The film is presented as a "documentary" that investigates the origins of the legacy of the actor family of David Harbour, centred on the life of actor David Harbour Jr(portrayed as father of David harbour),a made up actor for the mockumentary. D.H Sr. Is portrayed as a typical theatrical method acting actor who participates in a tv adaptation of an absurd complex theatrical production who is fascinated with british method acting and has bitter rivalry with his co actor, who he hates because of his own insecurity of faking his own academic credentials of being a Juliard actor. The film is filled with a lot of theatrical setups.
