A fast paced comedy (think the humor of The Muppets meets Mel Brooks) about an anxiety-ridden filmmaker who accidentally lies to investors about having Christopher Walken in his movie and embarks on a ridiculous quest to get Walken. Neuroses, quirky love, bad guys and cowbells emerge to derail him. Will he ever find Walken??

Is a bit of a follower when it comes to work and interaction. Has a hard time with his attempts at vitriol towards the main character, Gavin.
