Olive Egan is a lot… But so is her entire family.
Tinseltown is a single camera dark comedy about Olive Egan and her family, who we meet over 3 timelines. We track Olive’s journey to success in the past, present and future.
Set in LA, this is a comedy told in 3 timelines, about how you just can't escape your family, no matter how very hard you try. And at the end of the day, you need them as much as they need you.
Tonally it’s SLUMS OF BEVERLY HILLS meets SHAMELESS as directed by DAVID O. RUSSELL.

Zane Rubin is a young filmmaker from Los Angeles with a gift of making the uncomfortable feel even more uncomfortable. Since directing her first feature at the ripe age of sixteen, Zane has made several short films including her two most recent, A GOOD DINNER PARTY and THE LAST VIRGIN IN L.A. She created and directed the digital series THAT’S HOW I LOST THE LAST ONE for Comedy Central and recently made a horror short for Fox’s “Bite Size Horror” program.
"This is a series about a family, my family, and what it is actually like to be from Los Angeles. My Dad used to be a man of importance in this place and now he drives Lyft. This hasn’t steered me away from wanting what I want but there will always be that voice in the back of my head thinking “Is that going to happen to me?” This is a show driven by that voice."
