Synopsis
A young man moves to Los Angeles to be a production assistant on a feature film--"Moby Dick 2: Ahab's Revenge"-- and winds up holding the movie hostage, at least the footage of the most expensive section (Moby attacks Honolulu), until he gets enough money to finance his own art film--"Two Days in the Salt Mine."

Two production assistants, Ken Woodburn and Brad Schultz, who allegedly came up for the idea to this film, began a legal battle against Broken Twig in December 1995. Jim Rossow, another production assistant and friend of the complainants also brought Broken Twig up on charges. After learning of the idea, Rossow says he wrote the script with Neil Mandt. Mandt maintains Rossow sold him the rights and offered him money and a story credit, but Rossow is demanding additional payment for rights and a part of the profits.
