What did Justin do in December during a couple of days off from Grey’s Anatomy? He starred in a short film for a couple of his friends titled “The Happiest Man Alive” which will be released Spring 2010. The film was shot in 2 days for under $10K. Impressive.

The short film is 11 minutes long and an allegorical story about a day in the life of a man who wakes up, stabs himself in the chest and goes to the office like nothing happened. On the film’s Facebook page there’s the following message:

WE DID IT… With the most amazingly hard working cast and crew, we were able to capture the funny and heart-warming little film that we hoped to make. OTMFC made this movie look unreal. Special thanks to JC for being unbelievably patient and giving of his time. Editorial started hours after wrap and we’ll post some clips/stills soon. Thank you all again. We made something really special.

I added a few screencaps from a rough cut version of the short to the gallery so check them out.

P.S. – I still don’t know what movie Justin is planning to shoot in the Summer that he mentioned in the TV Guide interview but I’ll let you know as soon as I know. 😉
