I Need To Know : Looking for title of an American independent drama set in Hollywood…

Looking for title of an American independent drama set in Hollywood…

I couldn't figure out this one…

I saw only once a trailer (on DVD, maybe VHS?).
And never saw any trace of that movie again.
Ever.

So, this is all I know or remember:

-Probably made in the last 25 years, not an 'old' movie.

-looked like an American low-budget indie

-It's in color and the look reminded me of "Less than Zero" a little bit, but without the 80s cheesiness:
Just a cold, dark, blue-ish L.A. full of desperate people.

-Story is about a young, ambitious filmmaker/director in L.A., who wants to do his first movie
with his friends / co-workers, who are all young and want to get rich and famous.
"Nobody will stop us! I will get this movie done" (or something like that) he screams, to inspire others.
He has a booze and/or drug problem.
And some unhealthy relationships.
He might be abusive.

-It's not a comedy or anything semi-serious, but really a nightmarish,
existentialist drama - at least judging from the trailer.
It seemed to be a brutal, realist drama about bad people in a bad place, you know?

-The young lead actor had great intensity, but I've never seen him again, I think.
No name-actors involved.

-director is unknown to me, but probably a little-known one.

It's not "Maps to the Stars", "The Player", "Day of the Locust" or any other Hollywood satire.
It's not "Starry Eyes".

Does anybody know what it could be ?

Thank you & Have a nice day!

Too difficult ?

Yes, it probably is…

But maybe someone has seen it?

Possibly the 2005 film BREAK A LEG ?

Thank you!

I've never heard about "Break a leg" (2005) before, but it sounds interesting:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0315323/

But it's not the movie that was presented in the trailer years ago:

This has Eric Roberts in it & they didn't mention any stars,
which they would have done.

The movie I'm looking for is more of a realist drama about young people
in the movie biz.

Thanks for trying & I will try to see this, too!

That really rings a bell …

... does the film open with a bunch of young actors gathering at one guy's home in the Hollywood Hills with huge windows overlooking the valley? I can't remember the name, unfortunately ... maybe if I keep banging my head on the desk ...

"As quickly as you can ... snatch the pebble from my hand." Honga-Hula!
