David Krumholtz, Caleb Alexander Smith, Emily Swallow
A timid Midwestern fitness instructor seeks a fresh start in Los Angeles, only to fall prey to a Hollywood Boulevard grifter who pulls him into a tragicomic romp through the shadows of the American Dream.
Synopsis
Arriving in Los Angeles in search of reinvention, a mild-mannered personal trainer with superhero good looks is duped into partnering with a Hollywood Boulevard grifter.
The hapless pair’s desperate attempts to untangle a shadowy conspiracy escalate in all the wrong ways. Forelock is Midnight Run meets Midnight Cowboy – a fast-paced, darkly comic tragedy about male friendship, ambition, and the absurdities of the American Dream.
