as told to Michael Nardella

Our crazy adventure begins when Iggy X, a frustrated actor, meets the author and gifts him with his memoir, a manuscript of the making of the biggest and most controversial film ever attempted Down Under.----Once on location, we discover Iggy is taking fake tan medication and posing as “Sunil Chatterjee,” in order to get the part of an Indian sepoy (camel wrangler) in a drama about the ill-fated explorers, Burke and Wills. Soon he and the other two actors playing sepoys are cajoled into appearing in “Camel-a-lot,” a reality-type show intended for the DVD’s special features, in which they must compete for the role of head sepoy and for screen time with Russell Crowe.----Against a backdrop of paranoid security concerns, creative differences, and diabolical catering, Iggy stumbles from one calamity to another, including being saddled with an alcoholic camel, living with Elvis-worshipping carnies after a flood, recovering the stolen main generator, and finding love in the most unexpected way imaginable.----As Iggy strives to earn his first speaking credit, the teetering production threatens to implode, robbing him of his childhood dream.
