Instant Karma

Instant Karma is a 1990 film. Craig Sheffer stars as Zane, a TV producer looking for romance. Directed by Roderick Taylor, INSTANT KARMA tells the story of a down-on-his-luck TV producer but doesn't offer its viewers much beyond impressive aerial photography and a few funny moments. Zane is writer-producer of the TV show "Rock & Roll P.I.". Although a successful young man, he's lonely and having a particularly bad week. First, he has a confrontation with the show's temperamental star, Reno, on the set of the show. Next, Zane and his co-writer David are pitching a script to producer Jon Clark. By the end of the meeting, Jon says he loves the story, but wants to change the script completely. And, to top things off, Zane's accountant tells him that the IRS is planning to do an audit of his investments. However, while all of these disasters are happening, he does meet a nice actress, Penelope. Zane begins dating Penelope and things go smoothly. Then one afternoon while on the set, Reno gives Zane some tacky advice about women, and some drugs. Reno claims they're harmless pills which will relax him.
