In One Take follows Maxwell Stinnett, a struggling producer, director, and silent movie studio owner in 1915. After four flops and bankruptcy, he discovers he still has famous actress Lillian Harper under contract—his last chance to save the studio. With no money, no script, and no time, he forces the reluctant Lillian to star in his slapdash version of Romeo and Juliet opposite once-famous actor Richard Clancey—who also happens to be her ex-husband. Maxwell must wrangle their constant bickering, dodge Miss Hash, the nosy inventory clerk who keeps stepping into shots, and keep the chaos from sinking his final film. This version of Romeo and Juliet may not be Shakespeare-approved, but with live silent movie scenes and an actual silent film clip, Maxwell is determined to make it a hit.
