Lost Soul
A story about a poor soul that couldn't get a real film made and so settled for a measly 1 minute short. She sucked up to her well-heeled mates to supply champagne locations on a light beer budget. Then expected glamorous young things to act as "extras", when we all know the family deserve a whole television series devoted to their fabulousness. Real Housewives of Toorak would break the internet.
