About Hit Men
Hit Men [Official Trailer] from Simpatico Films on Vimeo.
A Beckettian-tinged examination of Hollywood, artistry, and ownership concerning a drug-addled writer and his ex-boyfriend who, with prodding from their image obsessed manager, reluctantly agree to pen the next hit song for a teen ‘it’ girl – whom they hate – in order to get their pet project produced.
