Greg Heffley is feeling the squeeze from his mom, who is determined to get him to explore interests beyond his beloved video games. She's pushing him to find some other talent or hobby. When Greg stumbles upon an old video camera in the basement, a lightbulb goes off. He thinks making movies could be his ticket to proving he's got serious skills, and maybe even become famous and rich while he's at it.

Enlisting his trusty sidekick, Rowley, Greg dives headfirst into a plan to create a scary movie masterpiece. They start filming, dreaming of the fame and fortune that surely await them. However, the question lingers: is Greg's all-in approach to filmmaking a stroke of genius that will finally impress his mom and the world? Or is this ambitious project just going to create a whole new set of hilarious and likely disastrous problems for him?
