Directed by
Sven Pape,
L.A. Twister follows a familiar plight --
Lenny McCoy (played by
Zack Ward, who some will remember as
Ralphie's red-headed nemesis in
A Christmas Story) is trying to make a spot for himself in Hollywood, though it seems more likely that Hollywood will make a meal out of
Lenny. Far from having hit it big,
Lenny decides to split the rent with
Ethan (
Tony Daly), an old friend whose marital problems and artistic endeavors have left him in a similar position. Rather than continuing their futile attempts to woo the industry,
Ethan and
Lenny decide it would be more lucrative to make their own film; however, once they get the ball rolling, making their own film seems just as hard as participating in someone else's, and both friends are forced to examine their friendship and personal ethics system in the process.
