The Last Film Festival

The film tells of a failing producer who brings his calamitous movie to an obscure film festival in a last-ditch effort to make it work. Filmed before Hopper's cancer diagnosis, “The idea for ‘The Last Film Festival’ started with a laugh Dennis and I shared at the Sundance Film Festival,” says Emmy winner Yellen in a statement. “And that spirit of fun and spontaneity that is uniquely Dennis carried through the filming and onto the screen. He would be so pleased that what started as one laugh will now result in so many.” The title is a riff on Hopper’s “The Last Movie,” his directorial follow-up to “Easy Rider,".
