Ellie Parker (2005)

Ellie Parker is a 2005 American drama-comedy film, written and directed by Scott Coffey. The title character, played by Naomi Watts, is a young woman struggling as an actress in Los Angeles.
The movie centers on a quote from the prologue to Shakespeare's Henry V:



O for a Muse of fire, that would ascend

The brightest heaven of invention,

A kingdom for a stage, princes to act

And monarchs to behold the swelling scene!



Ellie Parker began as a short that was screened at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival. Using a handheld digital camera, writer-director Scott Coffey expanded it into a feature-length film at various times over the next four years. It was finally released in 2005.

Synopsis

Ellie Parker est une jeune actrice australienne installée à Los Angeles, qui d’auditions en méthodes d’apprentissage assume énergiquement sa passion. Mais la médiocrité de sa vie privée et l’absence de propositions concrètes entament peu à peu la ferveur de cette comédienne fantasque.
