Get to know Troy Duffy now. Soon, he'll be bigger than Elvis. At least, so he thinks.

Troy Duffy catapulted from bartender to mini-mogul in the making in 1997, when Harvey Weinstein from Miramax Films bought Duffy's script and promised him the world. Convinced that he was finally getting his due, Duffy started a production company, hired a staff, sweet-talked his way into record deals - and started burning bridges. But then Harvey stopped taking Duffy's calls…

OVERNIGHT filmmakers Mark Brian Smith and Tony Montana were there from the beginning, as friends who shot Duffy's entire evolution from bartender to hot shot and back again. Larger than life, able to convince people to do extraordinary things, multi-talented - Duffy's character is the stuff of great filmmaking. It is not, however, the stuff of great friendship.

Mark Brian Smith studied filmmaking at New York University, and has worked extensively in reality television. He also worked in postproduction on several Hollywood movies.

Tony Montana studied communications at Loyola University of Chicago, and has worked in television production, acting, film production, and as a professional writer. He has also worked for the Sportschannel and ESPN, performing the role of a professional wrestling manager, for which he also wrote scenes.
