SYNOPSIS

We've all been there. Busy. Stuck on our phones. Preoccupied with our projections and fantasies, instead of living our real lives. We're so obsessed with finding our value externally in some "other experience" that we miss what's right in front of us. FIRE FUCKING FIRE is a cautionary tale about what happens when you pin your hopes and dreams of love and popularity on external forces instead of being true to who you really are. The film centers on Ally, (Rachel Paulson) a Type-A, people-pleasing shy girl and homebody who thinks she's hit the jackpot when she beds her rockstar crush, Meg FUCKING Taylor from famous rock band Fire FUCKING Fire. But in the morning the rockstar (Calico Cooper) won't leave and Ally's world descends into a RIDICULOUS and CHAOTIC, INVASION of privacy NIGHTMARE. I'm sure we can all imagine the shenannigans a famous rockstar might get up to, especially one who is trying to drown out the voices in their own head. You name it, Meg does it. And the more Ally panders to Meg's whims, the further Meg pushes her boundaries. From making cocktails for breakfast to destroying Ally's closet, Meg can't even get Ally's name right. Meanwhile Ally enlists the help of her best friend, the always upbeat and entertainingly unhelpful Jess (Capri Campeau) who encourages Ally to "enjoy it" because YOU ONLY LOVE ONCE - YOLO. Ally tries to ignore the red flags and go with it, but Meg won't stop - she continues to push all of Ally's buttons and flout every single boundary until Ally can't take it anymore. In an epic crescendo, Ally finally finds her voice and stands up for herself, taking her power back. She takes the risk of losing the person she's been fantasizing about for so long, because the fame, the parties, the popularity, none of it matters if Ally isn't being true to who she is.
