A little more info about the storyline... and a fabulous addition to the cast -- Masi Oka!!!!


From EarthTimes.org:


FORT WORTH, Texas - (Business Wire) Off-the-rails indie comedy “Searching for Sonny” begins shooting this week in Fort Worth, Tex. as the inaugural feature film written and directed by NYU Tisch graduate Andrew Disney.

“I wanted to explore the concept of an action/comedy hybrid,” said Disney. “For me, the greatest sin is boredom; I want to give the audience more than a plot by creating a visceral experience for them that is fun and makes them laugh while feeling a great deal of suspense.”

Cast members joining ‘Sonny’ include Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Masi Oka (“Heroes,” “Get Smart”), Minka Kelly (“Friday Night Lights,” “500 Days of Summer”) and Jason Dohring (“Veronica Mars”). They appear alongside Nick Kocher and Brian McElhaney, who form the New York City comedy duo BriTANick, best known for their recent Internet sketch video “Movie Title.”

‘Sonny’ tells the story of directionless pizza delivery guy, Elliot Knight (Dohring), who, after receiving a mysterious postcard, decides to attend his high school reunion in Texas and make amends with Sonny (Oka), an old friend he once wronged. Once there, Elliot reunites with his fraternal twin brother, ne’er-do-well Calvin (Kocher), their timorous former pal, Gary Noble (McElhaney), and gorgeous Eden Mercer (Kelly), the love of just about everyone’s life. But when the guys are off digging up a time capsule they buried 10 years prior, they happen upon the dead body of Eden’s husband and are suddenly swept away into the wackiest murder case on record, with themselves as chief suspects in the crime.

I wasn't really sure before if this was a "short" or something more, until I saw the magic words "feature film." Now I'm REALLY getting excited about this!! And it's looking like our boy is the headliner!

First rough-cutting of a scene...


You can't really go wrong with a close-up of Jason. In maroon, no less.
