Maybe She’s Born With It explores the action behind-the-scenes of what it takes to become a Hollywood superstar. Set entirely in the make-up trailer of Rachel, an ambitious, yet over the hill, Kidz Channel darling who's hoping to parlay her teen queen success into a gig as the next Maybelline Girl. Rachel spars with Doug, her manager, a neurotic wreck, who's lost all his other clients to bigger sharks. Despite Doug skittishly obsessing over his waning position in the Hollywood food-chain, Rachel still believes in him. In fact, she needs him now more than ever. OK Magazine has threatened to report on a piece of unusual and incriminating video footage and it will take a miracle to stop them. Their frenetic plotting, desperate scheme and ultimate decision will force Rachel and Doug to come to terms with the realities of fame and the sacrifices required to succeed in Hollywood. Can these two ill-fated neurotics scramble through this PR mess or will their careers go up in flames? The Scoop It's impossible to predict who will sink or swim in today’s Hollywood. It's no longer about the art. It's all PR. Whether an actor is cast in the latest mega-budget action movie or has to beg his way on to the set of the next straight to DVD slasher flick, largely depends on calculated decisions made behind the scenes. Maybe She's Born With It pulls back the curtains on the idea of "Celebrity." In a time when stars and the people behind them are trying so desperately to keep their heads above water, this short film explores what two of these people must do to survive in the crazy world of show business.
