students venture to L.A. via school bus with hopes to score parts in Mewesical
High, a musical directed by Jason Mewes (Clerks) under the mentorship of Kevin
Smith (Clerks, Dogma). Paige (Lauren Collins), personal assistant to THE
SHORES reality television star Hailey Montel (Mary Ashton), understands that
in life you work from the ground up, but when Hollywood hands Paige a shortcut
to fame and fortune, she jumps at the opportunity and takes Marco (Adamo
Ruggiero) and Ellie (Stacey Farber) along for the ride. Back in Toronto, Manny
(Cassie Steele) has immersed herself in her university theatre program and is
committed to becoming an “actor of substance.” The star of Jay and Silent Bob
Go Canadian, Eh?, Manny blows an opportunity to star in Mewes’ feature and
then heads on a road trip to L.A. to win the role and realize her dream.”
