Seth Worley director of Plot Device

This has been a busy week for Seth Worley. The Nashville-based filmmaker’s witty short film “Plot Device” has quickly gone viral, generating media buzz and putting him on Hollywood’s radar practically overnight.

It’s no surprise, either, because “Plot Device” makes for one helluva calling card: A visually scrumptious, ultra-high concept production, it follows a budding filmmaker (played by the director’s brother) who purchases a button online that sends him reeling from one Hollywood genre to the next. One minute, he’s surrounded by zombies; the next, he’s dodging gunfire and aliens (watch it below). 

Made for about $10,000, the short film has been played almost 15,000 times since it was uploaded to YouTube about 3 weeks ago.

Since then, the film has attracted the attention of movie studios and talent agencies in Hollywood who are interested in working with Worley. And he’s now reportedly heading west to meet with several agencies, from CAA to UTA and WME, and movie producers.  

So, is the short film really that impressive? Watch it and let me know your feedback.
