“Wanted: Filmmaker to document mad and amusing novel on video. Will pay a small fee.”
"Vincent believes he has written the great Irish novel. When publishers turn it down he decides to prove them wrong by turning it into a movie. The film culminates at the Venice film festival, where Vincent pitches George Clooney, Branagh, DeNiro & others what he now believes to be the great Irish film. The Book That Wrote Itself is an eccentric black comedy on the pretensions of art & filmmaking."

This Best Short Subject Academy Award winning film begins in the spring of 1940, just before the Nazi occupation of the Benelux countries, and ends immediately after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. It chronicles how the people of "Main Street America", the country's military forces, and its industrial base were completely transformed when the decision was made to gear up for war. Original footage is interspersed with contemporary newsreels and stock footage.
