ONCE IN A LIFETIME
genres:
River is a movie theater employee who is passionate about the film industry. He takes a chance on himself and enters a competition for a coveted, but unpaid internship working directly under a three-time Oscar-winning director. Later that night, he receives a phone call notifying him that he was selected as the winner. On the day of the internship, his boss calls to cancel his leave and demand that he show up for work. He is forced to choose between keeping his day job and following his dream. Not sure on what action to take, he seeks guidance from his mother, father, and girlfriend.
