Mistakes Were Made is a hilarious, but also deeply moving character
study of a man seeking redemption, but inescapably creating destruction.
Felix Artifex, a B-list Off-Broadway producer, gets in way over his fast-talking
head when he takes on a gargantuan epic about theFrench Revolution, which
he thinks is going to be his ticket to professional and personal reclamation.
While trying to land a big star for the lead role, he uses all his powers of
persuasion, seduction and intimidation to strong-arm the writer into massively
rewriting his play. At the same time, he attempts to reconnect with his
estranged wife and untangle himself from a mess involving sheep in a distant
war-torn country.
