Synopsis

Alex, a troubled film student, is grappling with the weight of ambition and creative burnout.

When he discovers a mysterious handkerchief embroidered with the name Billy Knight among his late father’s belongings, Alex sets off on a personal and cinematic journey that leads him through the bygone eras and lost memories of Hollywood’s Golden Age. Billy Knight is The Fabelmans and Empire of Light meets Sunset Boulevard – a lavish coming-of-age meta-drama about creative ego, artistic inheritance, and the moment when the warm allure of fantasy gives way to what truly matters in life.
