Jake Squared (2014)

In the whirlwind of life's complexities, Jake Klein, a 50-year-old filmmaker, embarks on a daring cinematic journey. His unconventional method? Engage an actor to mirror his life and capture the vibrant chaos of a grand gathering. As he plunges into this project with a camera in hand, the line between fiction and reality blurs. Unexpected guests from past, present, and even future enter the fray, turning Jake's party into a swirling panorama of his life. Lost loves reappear, fresh romances bloom, and the specter of his deceased father looms along with a young vision of his mother. His ex-wife, children, and earlier versions of himself — Jake at the different crossroads of 40, 30, and 17 — all make an appearance. Each incarnation of his past, present, and future is armed with an arsenal of advice to mend his tangled existence. As Jake navigates this surreal storm of faces and experiences, he teeters on the edge of a profound revelation and a complete meltdown. Is it a spiritual awakening, a mental breakdown, or a chaotic blend of both? Jake Squared explores this intriguing puzzle, leaving you captivated by the complexities and comedy of one man's journey through his own life.
