DAVE vs. HOLLYWOOD is a mockumentary about an actor who moves to Los Angeles completely devoid of connections and contacts. The humiliations and indignities soon pile up. After a fruitless struggle Dave decides to try to make his mark by taking a non-traditional “anything goes” approach that some might label unethical or even amoral. Are there any depths to which Dave won’t sink in an effort to make it in Hollywood? Will this kind of subversive approach work? DAVE vs. HOLLYWOOD may sound a bit cynical. But as Dave would say, “It’s a cynical world out there.”

A story of mistreatment and duplicity, this is the tale of how comic book legend Stan Lee landed in the middle of a scandal as dramatic as any superhero saga.

What he uncovered was a thriving market where Lee’s signatures and memorabilia were converted into huge sums of money, while rival figures and competing interests battled for influence over Lee’s fortune and legacy. After years spent documenting these events and trying to bring the story to light, Bolerjack is ready to share this shocking and deeply heartbreaking story with the world.
