| Summary |
Fiction collides with reality in this unique film, a collaboration of best-selling novelist and first-time director Robert H. Lieberman ("Baby," "Paradise Rezoned") and Emmy Award-winning Slawomir Grunberg ("School Prayer: A Community at War"). A drama/comedy featuring a small but quirky upstate New York town, "Green Lights" was created by seeding scripted actors into real life situations, blurring the boundary between fiction and reality. It is a funny, fast-paced film studded with original live music and even a dance number. When Bob Beeman, a lowly film scout arrives in town, bellhops begin tap dancing, children start singing and Shakespeare is waiting around every corner as the rumor spreads that he's a big time producer. Snared by Alex and Jimmy, a luckless writer/composer team, Beeman starts believing the myth swirling around him and turns the community upside down with his 'folie de grandeur'. In attempting to make their musical film, Beeman hopes to save his own failed life, and with it, the hopes and dreams of the town that has adopted him. Clearly Beeman and the town are headed for disaster |
