Quentin, Katherine, Robert and James are young aspiring film makers that are having a hard time making it in the business in 1985. Stanley and Steven are the biggest movie director's in Hollywood they have directed hit after hit and are major jerks to our aspiring directors. Eventually they meet a legendary director that calls himself The Carpenter, who becomes their teacher and helps our leads to make it in Hollywood. However when our leads start making a name for themselves, Steven and Stanley "change the rules" with the rating system in an effort to avoid competition for them. This causes friction and mistrust among our leads and the series focuses on their efforts and drama they go through to accomplish their dreams. Essentially every character represents one of my favorite directors.
