"Got nothing else to do on Tuesdays and Thursday. What do you do on the other days? I drink."  -from The Hustler

One-hit auteur Clayton Beaubien and hanging-by-a-thread-starlet Caprice Geoffries (Julie Atlas Muz) meet for an exclusive tell-all interview that quickly becomes a battle of the egos, all captured on Beaubien's "Signature" black-and-white film. Only he runs out of it halfway through the interview, and changes to color, an appropriate metaphor for the arrogance of the slacker-artist-sans-art that is exposed in this hilarious and disturbing film.
Caprice's "people" agree to the interview under one condition - that there be no mention of her failed and abusive marriage, which of course is mentioned along with Clayton and Caprice's other favorite subjects: themselves, their work, their plans for the future.
"This film is a confetti of references/passions to the genius of Warhol, Fassbinder and the era of The Hustler as well as the glory of black and white. Celluloid #1 is ultimately about celluloid and how it captures us, as Caprice says, 'it is us in our glamour and us in our disease.' This film exposes our tawdry addiction to today's 'soft celebrity' culture, which is stuck like chewed bubble gum to the souls of our shoes. Our delusion is complete" -S. Staso
