The Disaster Artist is the story of Greg Sestero and Tommy Wiseau, friends who met in a San Francisco acting school, seeking the dream of making it in show business. They move to LA together and start the grind. Not getting anywhere through auditions, Wiseau decides he's going to write, produce and direct his own movie, supposedly based on an unpublished novel he wrote. Sestero agrees to work with him as a producer and play a lead role. It's unclear where the money comes from, but they have a significant budget.
