An American Fable

Ambition. Luck. Murder. New York in 1950’s. Aris Bellerophon claims a gypsy told him he’d be famous at 25. Brim Oscar Birmingham, a huge radio personality who’s overweight and childless, arranges a screen test for Aris who's so joltingly watchable he's rushed into a cowboy movie with his horse, Pegasus. Brim manipulates the press and Aris becomes an overnight sensation. Power, appetite. Father, son. Age vs. youth. The professional and the personal. Each one wins, almost.
