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

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.
