Sometimes it takes the bigest losers to win

Log line

Zany comedy combining the candid raunchiness of "Old School" with the light heartedness of "Happy Gilmore."

Synopsis

After a series of humiliations in the big city, wimpy Matthew Klein (played by Rob Gleeson) retreats to his hometown roots and misfit childhood friends. There, hijinks lead to a new life as he rediscovers his strengths. And how to deal pot and swear!

Description

I play a boring orientation instructor in this SAG project: think Ben Stein in the Visine commercials. It was great fun because the director let me improvise for minutes at a time during each take. I loved it when they had to cut due to off-camera chuckles from the crew or my scenemate (Gleeson). They filmed so much more than what was written that I'm really curious how much of my droll droning actually wound up in the final cut. So far I've only seen trailer.

The large huge cast includes several actors I worked iwth on other projects: Quynh Thi Le (Evolution Creek), William Harrison (A Matter of Time), Nadia Zebib (Anatomy of Love), Paul McKomiskey (Sick People), Dorian Zantiago (Public Enemy #1), Rajinder Kala and Dante Ha (Upyri).
