Hollywood’s Worst Screen Tests

Alex, a casting agent, is given the challenge of her career when she’s tasked to run screen tests for multiple films in the course of just one day. The order comes from Gerry, a studio head who has fast-tracked ten scripts into production in a desperate move to save her job. Unfortunately, because of the rush, none of the actors (from silver screen stars to Hollywood hopefuls) are even remotely ready for their close-ups. Making matters worse, the screenplays are uniformly awful, including an absurd rom-com, a shameless Oscar-bait drama, a superhero flick that reads more like a toothpaste ad, an ill-advised sequel, and more. Can Alex somehow find the perfect casts for ten imperfect movies in 24 hours? And will she still have her sanity when she’s done?
