“Underachieving voice coach Carol Solomon (Bell) not only lives in the house of her egotistical father, Sam Sotto (Melamed), but also in the massive shadow he casts as the undisputed king of the vicious, male-dominated world of movie-trailer voice-overs.
When Sam kicks her out to make room for his girlfriend Jamie (Holden), Carol lands her first voice-over gig with the help of charming sound engineer Louis (Martin), beating out industry bad boy Gustav Warner (Marino) for the job. Proving it’s no fluke, she soon lines up two more projects in quick succession.
At an industry party, Carol has a one-night stand with the seductive Gustav, neither realizing who the other is. It’s only later that Gustav learns Carol is the “thief” who “stole” the V.O. job from him and vows to make her pay. Soon afterwards, Sam discovers Carol is in the running to become the official voice of a blockbuster, female-centered movie “quadrilogy.” Threatened by his own daughter’s rising star, Sam tries to discourage her while secretly pushing his reps to land him the gig instead.
As romantic sparks begin to fly between her and Louis, and with her budding career and sense of self on the line, Carol finds herself facing a momentous decision: Whether to give in to her father’s bullying or go all out for the job and finally begin living life on her own terms.” Production Notes
In a World opens in theaters on August 9th.
