#110. Jeffrey Scott Collins Discusses ABOVE THE LINE & The Dark Side Of Hollywood

Set in Los Angeles during Christmas, Above The Line sees six Hollywood wannabes get the invite of a lifetime when a mysterious messenger gives them the opportunity to steal the Best Picture Awards belonging to an unscrupulous film producer, played by Gregg Henry. Directed by Jeffrey Scott Collins, Above The Line is an on-point black comedy that takes plenty of potshots at Hollywood and the film business. It’s well shot, with a few nice plot points and good performances. It’s a good comedy in its own right, but it has added zing if you know a little bit about the biz. Jeffrey Scott Collins joins this episode of the Movies In Focus podcast to talk about Above The Line, how to craft a comedy filled with twists, the ups and downs of the movie business - and of course, unscrupulous film producers.Above The Line is available on Digital & On Demand June 26, 2026.
