The self-described stoner comedy follows movie star London Ramson (Baker), whose world is turned upside down when he receives a breakup text from the love of his life right before the most important meeting of his career. Variety reports the plot as: “Compounded by chaotic roommates and wildly unpredictable twists and turns, London’s day keeps going downhill until ultimately, he is forced to choose between his one true love and landing a life-changing, starring role in a major motion picture.” The movie is set for on-demand and theater release on May 20th.
Mod Sun, born Derek Ryan Smith, is an American singer/songwriter and rapper. Previously engaged to actress Bella Swan, he is currently engaged to the punk-pop princess Avril Lavigne. He’s collaborated with Machine Gun Kelly, Avril Lavigne, and blackbear on numerous songs and recently released Remember Me Just Like This, a documentary about his life.
Baker has experience within the film industry, with numerous acting credits. His work includes Bird Box, The King of Staten Island, a critically-acclaimed turn as Tommy Lee in The Dirt, Jacksass Forever, and Good News.
This isn’t the first collaboration for Baker and Mod Sun, as they both directed the 2021 movie Downfalls High. Released in January 2021, the film gained over 16 million views on its first weekend.
