Synopsis
Meet Paul Kaplan, an unremarkable actor going nowhere on the treadmill of auditions for TV commercials in L.A. Attempting to stay positive in the face of what appears to be constant rejection, thirty-something Paul listens to motivational tapes and attends emotionally and physically confronting workshops with other acting hopefuls. Meticulously arranging snapshots of Paul’s soul-destroying daily routine of cattle calls and eating alone in his characterless apartment, OK, Good is a riveting and suspenseful portrait of a performer whose growing inability to communicate in situations where there’s no script is turning him into a ticking time bomb of inner rage.
