Sophia Scorziello editor If you can’t take it with you when you go, then where does it end up? Daniel Brown thought a lot about this before making his upcoming film “Your Lucky Day,” which tells the ironic story of a man who wins the lottery but dies shortly after finding out his numbers hit. First created as short in 2010 starring Rider Strong, the story takes place one Christmas Eve at a corner store called Sip ‘n’ Go, where a white-haired boomer-aged wealthy man wearing a tie stops to scan his lotto tickets.
After making brief and somewhat bigoted small talk with the store’s owner Amir (Mousa Hussien Kraish), the machine plays a little jingle, “Winner!! Winner!!” appears on the tiny screen. “What’s the total up to?” the man asks Amir.
“$156 million.” Sterling, a low-level drug dealer played by the late “Euphoria” star Angus Cloud, is standing in the corner of the store when he realizes the jackpot is just feet away from him. He covers his face, holds the winner up at gunpoint, demands the ticket and starts a shoot-off with a police officer, killing the winning man and starting a hostage situation for Amir and a pregnant couple (Elliot Knight and Jessica Garza) who must decide how to move forward without jeopardizing the jackpot or their lives.
When asked what drove him to take the “Die Hard” route of setting a hostage film during Christmas time, Brown pointed to a classic holiday tale “The Gift of the Magi.” In “Your Lucky Day,” Brown uses Knight and Garza to represent this same kind of relationship. But the real initial inspiration for the film was actually a literal image of irony.
