I KILLED MY LESBIAN WIFE, HUNG HER ON A MEAT HOOK AND NOW I HAVE A THREE PICTURE DEAL AT DISNEY (1993)

 




















Directed by: Ben Affleck
Starring: Jay LacopoKarla MontanaJohanna McCloyRobert KochTommy HinkleyHarry VictorMarilyn PitznerHarvey StephensEllie ValleauMaria Dolores Rodriguez Garcia De La Pepa

16 minutes
(NR - strong language, adult themes, adult situations, violence)

PLOT:
A first-time feature-film director (who's also the writer and producer) is casting the lead actress. We meet him talking to his wife about the picture and the process. We meet the actress, Sandy, negotiating with her roommate and talking by phone to her mother. Then, we watch Sandy audition for the director at the call-back session; also attending are the casting director and the production company's sycophants. The wrinkle is that the director is a homicidal misogynist, his wife is tied up and hanging from the ceiling, and Sandy has something in her purse that bodes a rocky future.

This short is notable as it is Ben Affleck's directorial debut.
