Director Daniel Brown of Angus Cloud's upcoming film 'Your Lucky Day' shares what it was like working with the late actor, winning the lotto, Fantastic Fest premiere.
,” which tells the ironic story of a man who wins the lottery but dies shortly after finding out his numbers hit. First created as short in 2010 starring Rider Strong, the story takes place one Christmas Eve at a corner store called Sip ‘n’ Go, where a white-haired boomer-aged wealthy man wearing a tie stops to scan his lotto tickets. After making brief and somewhat bigoted small talk with the store’s owner Amir , the machine plays a little jingle, “Winner!! Winner!!” appears on the tiny screen.
As someone who works in advertising, Brown understands the powerful allure of the lottery. As awful are the odds of winning, people are betting on an experience more powerful than any other purchase offers. “I feel like lottery advertising is maybe the most truthful because it is really life-changing. Like having a coke isn’t really going to change your life. You know, you don’t open a beer and everyone hangs out with you suddenly.
After sending out casting calls, Brown was thrilled to see Cloud’s name appear amongst the responses, what he called “an insane notion that there was even interest based on the script.” They received numerous audition tapes and considered alternatives, but felt that Cloud was the only one right for the role.
