The making of Man of the Year is almost as intriguing as the film itself, while most films are brought to life with the help of large production budgets, special effects and exotic locations, Man of the Year was created in one night, using one location, and strangely enough, no script. How does one create a film under these circumstances?

Straw Weisman's Man of the Year showcases what can happen when 24 highly skilled improve actors are set free to use their imagination and their talent for story telling. Shot simultaneously in 12 consecutive hours, captured by 20 borrowed digital cameras complete with cameramen, and set up in 20 different locations though out the house. The end result allows the viewer a peek inside every room as each individual story unfolds, the story of "Man of the Year."

Bill (John Ritter) is the guest of honor as the "Man of the Year". A very successful head of a large energy firm, he is a man with many dark secrets. His best friend, Stuart, hosts the party at his ritzy ultra modern Hollywood Hills home.

During the course of the night, secrets will be revealed, trusts will be broken and relationships will change forever. Join them, their wives, their lovers, their friends, and their enemies for a night they'll never forget as the guests discover that Bill is not the man they thought he was and his carefully constructed life begins to crumble like a house of cards.
