Fresh off their win at the 2011 San Antonio 48 Hour Film Experience, Live Wire Films is showing off the teaser trailer for their upcoming superhero feature film, Now Hiring. This project has been in development for several years, originally produced as a short film and screened at several local venues. This new iteration of the project begins filming in July 2012 but you can get the flavor of it now:
Now Hiring is the brainchild of award-winning writer/director Mark Cantu and is produced by Kris Kidd. The film follows Joe Martin (Jason Sedillo), an unemployed man looking for work in order to save his troubled marriage. But when he exaggerates his qualifications during an interview, he winds up landing a job as a superhero. Now, with an evil threat emerging from the past, the city will need its heroes, but will Joe have what it takes to rise this crisis.
This film is currently in pre-production, and boasts an impressive cast that includes newcomers Jason Sedillo, Akasha Banks Villalobos, Jason Scarbrough (Love After), Caitlin Rose Williams (ABC Family’s Make It or Break It, Death Proof, Echo), Scott L. Schwartz (Ocean’s 11, Star Trek: Enterprise), comedian Roman Garcia, award-winning filmmaker Taylor James Johnson, Kris Kidd and Jamye Cox.
