제임스 베닝과 리처드 링클레이터의 만남은 어울리지 않는 조합처럼 보인다. 한 사람은 영화의 순수성을 지키려는 지사적 실험영화 작가이고, 한 사람은 인디영화로 시작해 할리우드 심장부로 진입한 감독이다. 그러나 두 예술가는 오랜 우정을 나눈 친구이다. 영화적 우정에 대한 이 다큐멘터리는 두 감독의 삶과 영화에 대한 접근방식의 유사성과 차이를 탐구한다. 링클레이터의 씁쓸한 청춘드라마와 베닝의 급진적 실험주의 사이의 명백한 차이에도 불구하고 영화에 대한 저들의 대화에는 격이 없다. 여전히 16미리 볼렉스 카메라로 작업하는 베닝과 할리우드 톱스타들과 일하는 링클레이터가 나누는 대화 사이에는 그들의 영화에서 발췌한 필름 푸티지들이 삽입된다. 마지막 순간 링클레이터의 초기작 에서 두 친구가 걸어가는 푸티지에 볼렉스 카메라를 들고 걸어가는 베닝의 뒷모습이 이어진다. 각자의 길을 가는 두 사람, 그러나 지속될 우정을 암시하면서 영화는 닫힌다.
