What happens

Donna on Demand is a 2009 direct-to-video dark comedy film written, directed, co-produced by, and starring Corbin Bernsen. The film was released on DVD on September 15, 2009. It takes place in Los Angeles, California. It is most notable for being the subject of the final two trades made by Kyle MacDonald in his attempt to turn one red paperclip into a house by barter alone. On or about June 2, 2006, he traded a KISS motorised snow globe to Bernsen for a role in the movie; a month later, on or about July 5, he traded the role away for a farmhouse in Kipling, Saskatchewan. During celebrations in Kipling related to the trade, auditions were held for the role and it ultimately went to Nolan Hubbard (a recent high school graduate at the time). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
