The sun is beginning to break on the C19 crisis in Austin, TX. The world is beginning to open up again…
Lone Star Public Update – Oct. 27th, 2021
Chad Wellington has finished going through our raw footage and we have a preliminary cut. This cut has been handed over to me. I’m assembling a soundtrack of truly, independent Texas music. I’m also filming B-roll of the ole ATX. In the next two to three weeks, we’ll have a first cut of the film. We’ll screen it to our friends, get feedback, cut it one more time…and then send it to post-production. Over the next 2-3 weeks, I’ll be posting my progress here with screenshots and pics.
Compensation: Day rate, meals & snacks, 4 hour set day. Max: 2 weekend shoot days.

Synopsis:
Hi! Thanks for your interest in my dream, indie film project. 90% improvised.
100% lying while telling the truth.
‘Worst Day Ever’ is an exploration of the workplace, tragi-comedy. ‘Adventureland’ meets ‘Parks and Recreation’ meets ‘Clerks’. When you create something, shit always hits the fan. I say this a lot…I’m amazed anything ever gets done.
The film will chronicle the break up of a band, the dissolution of a marriage, & creation of art steeping in the astounding absurdity of existence.
Thanks for your consideration.
peace and love,
Scott
CAST
SANJAY RAO
Station Manager at community TV station. He loves his job. He has the best job. It doesn’t pay much, but he serves the community.
MATT NEEDLES
Equipment Room/Program Manager at community TV station. Hatebreed is his favorite band. He tolerates everyone because it’s part of his job.
CHAD WELLINGTON
Sound/Video Engineer on a local, independent music show. Stoic & unmoved by the chaos surrounding him.
SCOTT HEARNE
Producer of a local, independent music show. Everything is broken. Nothing ever gets done. Why doesn’t this show get picked up by PBS? It’s better than Austin City Limits!
CASTING
ACTORS
ISSA – [GENDER: FEMALE] [AGE: 21 – 35]
Comedian. A beautiful mess surfing the wake of your own chaos. Soaked in alcohol, weed, and hallucinogens. Rarely caught, never punished. Experience in improv or stand up comedy required.
Have you ever spent days and days making up flavors of ice cream that no one’s ever eaten before? Like chicken and telephone ice cream?…Green mouse ice cream was the worst. I didn’t like that at all.
