I’ll Do Anything

In the restless glow of 1990s Hollywood, a once‑promising actor finds his world upended when his estranged ex‑wife hands over their six‑year‑old daughter. Matt Hobbs—a talent‑scarred performer constantly chasing his next break—must suddenly navigate the chaotic rhythm of single parenthood. The city’s glittering studios and fickle casting calls loom as a backdrop to the quieter, more immediate pressures of bedtime stories, school pick‑ups, and the fierce, unapologetic energy of a child who refuses to be an afterthought.

As Matt strives to keep his career afloat, a tentative romance buds with a sharp‑witted production assistant who knows the industry’s hidden currents. Cathy Breslow offers a glimpse of stability and shared ambition, yet their connection is tested by the competing demands of fame and family. Meanwhile, Beth’s absence leaves both mother and daughter in an undefined limbo, forcing Matt to confront what it truly means to be present for the people who matter most.

The film settles into a gentle, sometimes bittersweet tone, blending the high‑stakes allure of show business with the ordinary, heart‑warming moments of everyday life. Jeanie—bright, opinionated, and irresistibly charismatic—acts as both catalyst and compass, urging her father to reevaluate his definition of success. Surrounded by colourful industry personalities, including a larger‑than‑life producer whose ambitions echo the larger Hollywood machine, the story explores the delicate balance between artistic aspiration and the simple, grounding love that can reshape a life, even when the spotlight feels far away.
