The Hollywood Complex


Precocious children go on auditions during "pilot season" in this frank and eye-opening documentary.  Loving, devoted, obsessed and gullible parents looking to hit the big time live with their talented offspring in a Hollywood apartment complex that caters to the needs of the young thespians where a one bedroom apartment will set you back $2000 a month. I was amazed at the lengths these parents will go to in their quest for fame, one of which resorted to collecting aluminum cans from the complex garbage bins. The rejection is often brutal, but it rarely discourages them from the pursuit of their dreams. That's show-biz, I guess. I watched The Hollywood Complex on Netflix.

Sorry, no trailer.
