Roxanne is a 1987 American romantic comedy film directed by Fred Schepisi. It is a modern retelling of Edmond Rostand's 1897 verse play Cyrano de Bergerac, adapted by Steve Martin and starring Martin and Daryl Hannah.
C.D. "Charlie" Bales (Steve Martin), the fire chief of a small American ski town in Washington, is intelligent, humorous, charismatic, athletic and skilled. He is close to many in town, especially his godsister, Dixie (Shelley Duvall), who owns the town diner and several rental homes. He becomes immediately attracted to beautiful newcomer Roxanne Kowalski (Daryl Hannah), an astronomy student in town for the summer searching for a new comet. She adores Bales, but only as a friend, preferring Chris (Rick Rossovich), a handsome but dim fireman who has just joined Bales's unit to help turn it around. Bales is sensitive about his large nose, which many in town have learned to not mention. He is unable to have it surgically altered because of a dangerous allergy to anesthetics.

Plot: What does it take to make a film? In the age of point-and-shoot cameras, YouTube, and video phones how can you make it as a 'real' filmmaker. B-Roll is a story that satires the struggles college-level filmmakers have in creating their projects. When a 48 hour short film contest is announced,over-confident student filmmaker Chris Henson enlists the help of fellow classmates in order to claim first prize and secure a golden ticket to Hollywood. What ensues is a comical combination of conflicting personalities, big ideas, and bad CGI that sheds light on what goes on behind the scenes with a mismatched group of students trying to achieve their goal.

Told you once I won't tell you again
It's a bad way
