Kris Marshall plays Art, a low-budget film-maker whose overactive imagination turns everyday life into a cinematic adventures. Art and his friend Jones (Andrew Scott) think they're the English Coen brothers, appart from that they're not brothers and they haven't been able to make any films. Against this backdrop of playful homage, My Life In Film explores the triangle of love, friendship and obsession between Art, Jones and Beth (Alice Lowe).
