The Post-9/11 world has forever changed our notion of privacy. There are now approximately 30 million surveillance cameras generating more than 4 billion hours of footage every week in the United States. And the numbers are only growing. The average American is captured over 200 times a day in department stores, gas stations, changing rooms, and even public bathrooms. No one is spared from the relentless, unblinking eye of cameras hidden in every nook and cranny of day-to-day life. Shot entirely from the point of view of the security cameras. Adam Rifkin's "Look" follows several interweaving, storylines over the course of a random week in a random city. A high school English teacher tries his best to be a decent husband; a department store floor manager uses the warehouse for more than just storage; a Mini-Mart clerk has big dreams; a lawyer struggles with a sexual dilemma; and two sociopaths thrive on ruining the lives of random strangers. "Look" tells five private stories which unf

At times, it seems video surveillance is omnipresent in America, and Adam Rifkin (Underdog) spends the better part of two hours asserting just that in his fiction feature Look. This motion picture gains a historical footnote as the first U.S. mainstream movie to depict events solely through the "eyes" of surveillance video cameras. The preponderance of action unfurls in San Fernando Valley offices, stores, and shopping malls, where we witness security-camera footage of character interactions and events that would likely never occur if the perpetrators knew they were being "watched." In one subplot, Marty (Ben Weber), a beleaguered insurance salesman alienated by his co-workers, makes brazenly sexual passes at his female colleagues, secretly hatching a darker plan of his own on the side. Meanwhile, in another locale -- that of a department store at the Northridge Fashion Center shopping mall -- a chauvinistic floor manager named Tony takes full-scale sexual advantage of each of his fema

Peter Dragon, a successful producer with a series of box office hits to his credit, is used to having things his way in the "dog eat dog" world of Hollywood. As a result, everyone from high-powered studio executives to actors and writers must bow before him as they fight for a piece of his projects. However, his latest film, Slow Torture, is headed for a disastrous opening and Peter knows it. To make matters worse, he soon discovers that his head of production, Stuart Glazer, has mistakenly paid $250,000 for screenwriter Adam Rifkin's latest script. As he nervously makes his way to the Slow Torture premiere with Lonnie, his absent-minded uncle who serves as both a bodyguard and chauffeur, Peter has an accident with a prostitute.

Taking her advice, he pays for her services and then takes her home so he can get back to work.
