Synopsis
In a tent under the skeleton of his unfinished dream house, an independent Hollywood producer struggles to keep his head above water as everything falls apart around him. Bolstered by mantras and a $2,000-a-month rental statue of Buddha, he turns his obsessive need to release his unsaleable last feature, the aptly titled "Dead Girl," into a moneymaking venture, even if it means interpolating footage of an Indian distributor making necrophilic love to the star corpse, via blue-screen, to cinch a foreign sale.
