OVERCAST IN LA
By Alec Guttas

GENRE: Comedy
LOGLINE:

A washed-up Hollywood star discovers he has a secret 18-year-old son who unexpectedly becomes the breakout star of his new indie film. As the young actor's career skyrockets, the aging star spirals—forced to confront his ego, legacy, and what it really means to be a father.

SYNOPSIS:

Rick Bannon, a once-revered actor struggling to stay relevant, is blindsided by the arrival of Max—his newly discovered 18-year-old son. What begins as a tense reunion quickly spirals into a comedic and emotional rollercoaster when Max delivers a shockingly good performance in Rick’s new indie film, threatening to outshine him. As Max's star rises, Rick’s ego crumbles. Along the way: punch-ups, red carpets, therapy sessions, and an unforgettable wedding. At its heart, Rick is about generational reckoning, fragile masculinity, and learning to love someone even when they surpass you.
