Fade-In: The Orca and the making of the hoped-for blockbuster, JAWS. Lights! Camera! …Oops!
THE SHARK IS BROKEN traps actors Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, and Roy Scheider on the Orca with nowhere to go. In a battle of egos, wit, and insecurity, what emerges is the hilarious and deeply human portrait of artists grappling with fame, rivalry, and the fragile nature of masculinity. This sharply funny and unexpectedly revealing behind-the-scenes take on the filming of the Spielberg classic is the ultimate story of man, versus man ... versus beast! Written by Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon. Directed by Todd Schnake.
