About this movie

Playing a fictionalized version of himself, Jeff Nimoy is an anime superstar as a voice actor, writer, and voice director, but for the last 10 years can't find work in or out of anime. With his bank account dwindling, he accepts an offer for three-thousand dollars to go to an anime convention in Madison, WI. There, he's suddenly treated like a god by the fans. Being bombarded with adoration, he quickly falls into the traps of celebrity, and finds love in all the right and wrong places, unfortunately intertwining them throughout the convention weekend. By the end of the weekend, he realizes his mistakes, and his place, not only in the world of anime, but in the world itself.
