Featuring interviews with James L. Brooks, Nora Ephron, Carrie Fisher, and other screenwriting luminaries, DREAMS ON SPEC takes an intimate look at how far people will go - and how much they will sacrifice - for the chance to pursue their dreams. The film follows three aspiring Hollywood screenwriters as they pour their hearts into their spec scripts, pitch their ideas to anyone who will listen, go to meetings, hold table reads, and work at low-level day-jobs - all in the hopes of one day seeing one of their beloved creations made into a movie. The documentary offers a funny and compelling look at inspiration, creativity, and solitude in Hollywood. THE EXTRAS include over 30 minutes of never-before-seen interviews with the superstar screenwriters featured in the film, including James L. Brooks, Nora Ephron, Gary Ross, Carrie Fisher, Larry Karaszewski, Scott Alexander, Paul Guay and many others.
