The Extra's Great War

Overview

Three ambitious young bosses—Ann, Ben, and Chow—have landed a mysterious, high-stakes project: filming a short for the elusive online sensation, Dream Wong. The catch? The client insists on casting models who prioritize personal experience over appearance, and who are brimming with character. Led by former social worker Zoe, this group of 'character-driven' and 'troubled' youths charges into the studio for a 16-hour marathon shoot. As tensions rise and secrets emerge, the true identity of Dream Wong remains in question. How will these youths handle this intense creative battlefield?
