Art is a church. To be a successful artist and make money while you are alive, you have to be like one of those sleazy televangelist preachers, making false promises and telling lies about the depth of your mystery and inspiration, selling salvation and hope with a collectable keychain, otherwise you have to wait until you die, so one of those sleazy televangelist types can use the memory of you and your relics/art to make money. 

I'm torn between being a sleazy televangelist, dying, and just being a failure.

I pitched this movie idea to Adam Sandler on Twitter:

The Caveman Show -Flintstones meets The Truman Show. A caveman lives in a big hole in the ground and other cavemen secretly watch from the top of the hole. To him, the hole is the whole world. His family is in on it and pull pranks on him for the spectators' enjoyment. They come and go out of the hole while he sleeps. He starts to think there might be something outside the hole, because one of the spectator cavemen drops an apple in the hole and apples don't grow there (possible product placement opportunity). The lie starts to unravel, and the caveman tries escape the hole. I'd play the caveman, and Adam Sandler would play the producer caveman.
