What happens

Highball is a 2002 American comedy film directed by Noah Baumbach, and written by Baumbach, Carlos Jacott, and Christopher Reed. Shot in 1997, Highball was never completed to Baumbach's satisfaction and he ultimately abandoned it. In April 2002, a version of the film assembled by the producers was released on DVD against Baumbach's wishes. Upon release, the film was credited as having been directed by "Ernie Fusco" and written by "Jesse Carter" after being disowned by Baumbach and his co-writers. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
