This document outlines the logline and character descriptions for a film about 10 illegal immigrants of diverse backgrounds who enroll in a 6-week acting workshop in Hollywood led by Jack, hoping to find stardom.

Chasing the “American Dream”, these 10 illegal immigrants
find themselves in an acting workshop with stardom in
mind. Reality, however, may find them falling from grace…
3. Hollywood has always had an
“elephant in the room”
mentality when it comes to
the blatant disregard of
ethnic inclusion. If
#OscarsSoWhite has taught us

for a diverse and more
accurate representation of
culture and ethnicities in
media.
The Hollywood Reporter
released their 2016 “100 Most
Powerful People in the
Industry” list and out of 124
candidates, 19 are women
and only 10 people are of
color. These stark figures
serve to amplify the lack of
diversity in one of the most
iconic industries in society.
Does Diversity Exist
in Hollywood?!
