Me and Orson Welles is set in the exciting world of the New York Theatre. Teenage student Richard Samuals (Zac Efron) lucks his way into a minor role in the legendary Mercury Theatre production of Julius Caesar, directed by a youthful Orson Welles (strikingly portrayed by newcomer Christian McKay.) Over the course of a magical week, Richard makes his Broadway debut, finds romance with an older woman and experiences the dark side of genius after daring to cross the imperious, brilliant Welles. Richard has to grow up FAST. Me and Orson Welles, which had its world premiere at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival ®, marks another departure for maverick filmmaker Richard Linklater (Fast Food Nation, A Scanner Darkly).
