Recently broken up and barely enduring a dreary winter, gay Parisian Jerome Beaunez impulsively books a solo Christmas vacation to Los Angeles. While there he meets some colorful locals and pursues a dormant desire to become a movie star - but never can quite put the past behind him. In this meditation on love and narcissism across continents, Jerome goes far in the sun-drenched City of Angels but ultimately arrives at an old Hollywood maxim: there’s no place like home.

Bright, funny, honest and utterly charming, Hollywood, je t’aime is a stunning debut for Jason Bushman. Bushman wrote the lead role for his friend Eric who had always talked of acting but worked in an office job in Paris where Jason spends half the year writing. Eric shines in his own debut as Jerome. His classic look and an amusing ease with his own awkwardness brings to mind Buster Keaton and Marcel Marceau.

Cast includes Eric Debets, Jonathan Blanc, Diarra Kilpatrick, Michael Airington, Chad Allen (Third Man Out/Shock to the System, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, Our House).
