But, a last night of celebration turns potential success into a blur. Their contract has disappeared and their mysterious backer might be dead in the pool. There is only one way to find their six figure contract. These four friends will have to smoke and drink their way back to oblivion! Otherwise, their world tour will be put on a hold, indefinitely.
The comedy for Halfway to a Blackout took place in front of and behind cameras. The ensemble cast truly put their hearts into this piece and they also have something to say about the film. Scott Rosa, who plays Eddie, talks about the chaos on set: "it was an amazing experience, from start to finish. The closet thing I could compare working on this picture to is... 'Apocalypse Now'." Actress Autumn Federici (Love, Wedding, Marriage) plays Jenny, Eddie's girlfriend in the film, and her experience was equally comedic: "the ensemble cast was hysterical! We had to cut multiple times due to laughter from the cast or crew. I can't wait to film the sequel!" All of these castmates have come together to make one of the best comedies of 2013.
