What happens

Foreign Correspondents is a 1999 American drama portmanteau film. Written and directed by Mark Tapio Kines in his directorial debut, it stars Melanie Lynskey, Wil Wheaton, Corin Nemec, and Yelena Danova. The film drew attention for being the first ever to utilize crowdfunding as a means of attaining its budget. It premiered in February 1999 and played at the Chicago Alt.Film Fest that same year, receiving the Jury Award for Best Screenplay, as well as a Best Actress nomination for Lynskey. It was released to home video in 2001. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
