I recently had the opportunity to watch a new independent comedy...Scene Stealers by Craig Mowry.  I found the film facinating on a number of levels. I believe the campy scenes were hysterical..Mr. Mowry was able to pull off the tightrope walk.....he is able to successfully direct the whole gamut from campy humor, to black humor to ultimately some very fine dramatic performances. Equally impressive is he had a very diverse cast to deal with from seasoned professionals to a number of cast members who are making their acting debut in this film.  One of the things I enjoyed most about Scene Stealers is this movie required my complete attention throughout the entire film....the twists and turns kept my mind engaged throughout.  Most importantly, I have found myself still thinking about this film even weeks after I watched it.  I wish Mr. Mowry good luck and great success with this little gem...Scene Stealers is well worth the ride!

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.

BILLY BOTTOMSLY, a struggling artist, is plagiarised by a Hollywood mogul. He involves his 'typecast' friends in a star-jacking retribution plan. Billy's own dark comedy of errors becomes the ground floor in a pyramid of deception; each revelation an unsettling reminder that control is indeed an illusion.
