What I Really Want to do is Direct What I Really Want to do is Direct

Roxanne Hastings has wanted to be a director ever since she started storyboarding home movies and demanding that her teacher recast her grade-school play.

The climb up the film crew ranks has been slow and grueling, but Rox has made it to assistant cinematographer. It's quite a coup, but what she really wants to do is direct.

Rox is convinced that the big budget action movie rolling into town is her big break. But then longtime friend, Libby McIssac, offers Rox a screenplay and the best seat in the house: the director's chair. Given the chance to call the shots, Rox does what any wannabe filmmaker would do. She says yes. To both projects. (And the one guy she knows she shouldn't have.)

Can Rox juggle two lives? Either way, it will be an award-winning performance!
