Chris Rock's 'Misty Green' gives a fallen actress one week
Chris Rock wrote and directed 'Misty Green', distributed by A24. The logline reported by Deadline: Misty Green, a once famous but now struggling and self-destructive actress, has a week to turn her life around after she is evicted from her luxury apartment. It had its first screening on Saturday, Sept. 12, at Roy Thompson Hall, with Rock and Rosalind Eleazar on the panel. The premise does a lot in one sentence — the address tells you how far she has fallen, and the week tells you how little time she has to stop.

The eviction is the smartest piece of the setup: a luxury apartment is a status marker, so losing it does characterization work that a bad review or a drinking problem would take scenes to establish.
And a seven-day clock keeps the film from becoming a slow slide. Deadline matters more than distance in a story like this.
