Project Summary
Meet Lance Dunkquist, a 38-year-old with a meaningless job and a million-dollar face. Mistaken 28 times for Oscar-winning star James Jansen, Lance has spent a decade perfecting his mimicry. Fired from his job, he embarks on a wild journey from off-off Broadway to Hollywood, chasing his dream of becoming his lookalike - a mix of comedy, tragedy, and suspense.
