Synopsis:

The story of the self-proclaimed directing talent Cowboy who comes to Berlin with the goal of finally making that great movie. Brimming with confidence, he takes every job that's going, but this all ends in total chaos. Cowboy happens to know the artist YPS and shooting an art-porn flick with her stirs up an artistic hornets' nest which far exceeds his amateurish qualities.

The self-styled director Cowboy is coming to Berlin with only one goal at long last filming his big blockbuster. Self assured he is accepting every mission until he is meeting the real artist YPS and starts filming a porn movie, something mysterious is brewing up nearby in the Bedlam- Hospital. But Cowboy, blind of love, is stitching in a wespsnest and his dilettante qualities are overwhelming his powers by far.

In this trashy-funny Berlin film, directors Timo Jacobs and Ulf Behrens reflect on the pros and cons of independent filmmaking. Their ironic and partly autobiographical low budget flick is a self-financed ode to their humble beginnings. Even the German title, KLAPPE COWBOY!, is a witty play on words. A 'klappe' is the clapper board used on film shoots.But 'klappe' is also a slang term used to tell a loud mouth to 'shut it'. And if anything, lead character Cowboy is a pushy, annoying pain in the arse who greatly overestimates his own abilities.
