On the Corner of Ego and Desire（2019）

Three hopeless filmmakers trek to Sundance Film Festival to find a producer to buy their independent feature film. What begins as a trip making their dreams come true turns, through a series of mishaps, into a living nightmare. ON THE CORNER OF EGO AND DESIRE features a dubious trio - the pretentious director with high aspirations for herself as an artist but with little consideration for the artistic contribution of her two friends; the producer who, it seems, stole money from his mother's retirement account to fund the film; and the third member of the gang, a fumbling actor who doesn’t really understand what’s going on. As they continue to struggle with their situation and conflict with one another, the film explores how the basis of their trip is driven by their egos, selfish interests, and groundless desire for success. It is an interesting exploration of every filmmaker’s artistic and personal struggle to become successful in the film industry.
