It’s easy to run with “Little Death” as a film starring David Schwimmer. After all, his “Friends” character Ross is an enduring pop culture fixture. But that’s not the whole truth.

Yes, he stars as an unhappy, middle-aged TV writer named Martin Solomon who is at a personal and creative crossroads. He and his fiancée Jessica (Jena Malone) are just not in sync. She doesn’t value what he does and echoes the many who see Hollywood as more hobby than any essential need in the world.

Her lack of faith hits harder as his fear of being trapped by the hit show where he works as a staff writer increases, and the uncertainty of whether his escape plan of directing his indie film will happen mounts.
