The Rushes Richard Natale

The Rushes is a brisk and funny tale of friendship, love and ambition set in present-day Hollywood. Aspiring filmmakers Jamie Alford and his BFF, Carson Thorne, must navigate the industry's ruthless politics and ingrained prejudices, while also trying to maneuver the treacherous waters of romance. For years, Jamie has been obsessing on his ex, the tortured Owen Worth. And just as he's about to start afresh with a dashing young producer, Owen reappears to complicate his life. Carson, who has put romance on the back burner to focus on his career (much to the chagrin of his friend and former film professor, David Mendoza), falls hard for a wildly ambitious screenwriter. When Jamie and Carson's best-laid plans are sabotaged by jealousy and betrayal, they must band together to help one another move forward both in their professional and personal lives. But after all, isn't that what best friends are for?
