Running Time : 93 mins

Vocal coach Carol Solomon (Bell) is tired of living in the shadow of her father, famed trailer voice-over actor Sam Soto (Melamed), so she decides to try and become a voice over actor herself. When she is offered a lucrative job, everyone is stunned, including her father who jealously tries to steal the job from under her.

This is a movie that raises a very interesting point – why don’t more movie trailers have female voices over them? Bell expertly directs and stars in this comedy drama that explores love, life, and the competitive streak parents find they have against their own children. There are some slow moments, but the performances more than make up for this, as does the original and refreshing subject matter.
