A ragtag crew of underground filmmakers known as the Sprocket Holes, who abhor conventional cinema, rebel against the tenets of mainstream Hollywood in this send-up of filmmakers who take themselves too seriously.
To further cement the crew’s cinephilic fervor, John Waters imagined a tattoo featuring the name of a boundary-pushing director—Kenneth Anger, Pedro Almodóvar, William Castle—for each member. The Sprocket Holes’s director and leader is the title character (Stephen Dorff) who commands them to kidnap Hollywood star Honey Whitlock (Melanie Griffith) and force her to act in their latest film, shot guerrilla style among unsuspecting Baltimore crowds.
