Synopsis

What Just Happened follows a week in the life of powerful Hollywood producer Ben as he juggles negotiations with a studio head so that his newest picture can open at Cannes in two weeks.

He also deals with a high-strung director who must make edits to the film, an actor and his agent because the star has arrived on set with a full beard, and his most recent ex-wife, Kelly, whom he discovers might have a lover.

Ben also notices that his 17-year-old daughter from another marriage has been crying. What's up? Can Ben keep it all together, get the green light from the studio to go to Cannes, move his new picture past the beard crisis, and maybe return to Kelly's good graces?
