Welcome to Me - U.S. Indie?


Kristen Wiig is a quirky bipolar obsessive TV watcher, especially watching Oprah. She takes her lacy parasol to the local store to buy her O magazine and lotto tickets compulsively. One day she checks her lotto numbers on TV and finds out that she has won 86 million. So what does a bipolar, borderline personality person (off medication) do with her interests and money? Buy her own TV show of course so she can be like Oprah. Except she has no guests, the talk show is about herself and she floats in on a swan. Things eventually turn dark as she turns sicker and more narcissistic. After a hospitalization, all ends well in one big show finale. In fabulous style she is able to regains her friends that she has alienated.


p.s. I loved this movie that I saw 5 years ago and it never got distributed. I thought it was a great idea and story.
