The Big Picture | 80's Movie Guide

Taglines: Hollywood Reel io Real. The Big Picture movie synopsis. Nick Chapman graduates from film school, and his short film wins a special prize. This gives him a high enough profile that he can get Hollywood to back the film he has long dreamed of making. Studio exec Allen Habel is interested.
