The Trouble With Men

Director

David Shields

Three white male filmmakers meet for a long weekend to make a final attempt to salvage their ambitious, semi-fictional film about “reality.” However, holed up together in an empty room, their creative disagreements only escalate, and the dialogue becomes increasingly defensive and toxic. As the Hollywood film they imagined collapses, the three begin to wrestle each other—desperately, shamelessly—for control over the narrative about what poisoned their collaboration.
