Overnight (2003)

Overnight (2003) unfurls the roller-coaster journey of Troy Duffy, a formerly blue-collar Bostonian who, in his twenties, seized the golden ticket of a lifetime. This riveting documentary traces Duffy's meteoric ascent from obscurity to the glitzy Hollywood stratosphere, following the green-light of his debut script by Miramax, a cinematic dream that glittered with a $15 million budget. Yet, beneath the dazzling veneer of this dream-come-true, a grimmer narrative was being etched. For Duffy was not just a novice filmmaker blessed with a prodigious break. He was also a volatile egoist whose unchecked ambitions slowly corroded his friendships and professional relationships, turning his dream into a waking nightmare. When Miramax unexpectedly abandoned the project, the world watched as Duffy's overnight stardom began to crumble at an alarming pace. Overnight becomes a poignant exploration of a promising director's ruinous fall from grace, a cautionary tale of how unchecked ambition can scorch the landscape of a promising career. This is the story of Troy Duffy's stratospheric rise and precipitous descent, a tale of a man who, in a single cataclysmic arc, lived the rags-to-riches dream only to spiral back to rags. Overnight is a cinematic saga of dreams realized and squandered, of success savored and then sourly lost.

Overnight is a documentary movie featuring Paul Reubens and directed by Tony Montana.
