Worst Man
When a 40-year old Best Man (Jason Earles of Hannah Montana, Kickin It’) throws a bachelor party for his newly divorced friend, taking matters into his own hands may lead to chaos, grief, and the potential bankruptcy of their sports bar. Proving that while it's the Best Man's job to get you to the altar, it's the Worst Man's job to get you through your divorce.

Brandon Arroyo lived in a house with thirty people to pursue filmmaking in Los Angeles. Originally from Cleveland, OH, Brandon started making films at eight years old on his family VHS recorder. In high school, Brandon joined the drama club before eventually studying communication at Kent State University. After five years as a journalist for regional NBC and CBS affiliates, Brandon followed his life long passion to Los Angeles. As a film maker with the unique experience of having lived in both the hills of West Virginia and the bright lights of Hollywood, Brandon brings a wide perspective and mid-west roots to each film he makes.
When I saw the statistic that 15% of men do not have a single close friendship, my heart ached for them. With "Worst Man" I attempt to create a snapshot of masculinity that encourages vulnerability and friendship. That encourages not needing to do everything alone. Working with Jason Earles of "Hannah Montana", James Storm who's a former world champion, and Chris Van Vliet who runs a million follower podcast was a dream for bringing in an audience from many different walks of life that can relate to this message and the universal experience of a breakup. Add in the representation of Judi, an +60 actress, and Christophe who is a little person that I've worked with on several projects, "Worst Man" brings together a diverse and talented group of people to tell what I think is an important story. My entire career has been inspired by the heart and humor in shows like "Boy Meets World" and "The Fresh Prince". I attempt to create a contemporary, adult version of this niche to impact a generation that could use a reminder of the importance of community of friends.
