The Definition of Insanity is a tragi-comedy about elusive dreams, love, loss, and the passions that drive us, structured as a documentary about Robert, an actor moving past his prime who is still running after that one great role. His life begins to unravel as he struggles to survive in a competitive and often brutal environment without realizing how his obsession affects the people close to him; and when he meets legendary film director Peter Bogdanovich, he is forced to re-examine his life.

The Definition of Insanity is a film about big dreams and everyday rituals, humiliating defeats and little triumphs, and the inexplicable optimism --some might call it delusion-- that keeps us going.

Directors: Robert Margolis & Frank Matter
