ABOUT DAY SHIFT
Bud Jablonski (Jamie Foxx) is a blue-collar dad hoping to provide a good life for his quick-witted daughter Paige (Zion Broadnax) and to stay in the good graces of his estranged wife Jocelyn (Meagan Good). His mundane San Fernando Valley pool cleaning job is a front for his real source of income: hunting and killing vampires. Since being thrown out of the more lucrative international union of vampire hunters for code violations, Jablonski has been making a living selling fangs to black-market buyers like Troy (Peter Stormare). But when Jocelyn threatens to move Paige to Florida due to financial concerns, Bud has to make money fast and asks to be reinstated in the union with the help of his vampire hunting pal Big John (Snoop Dogg). Hardass union boss Seeger (Eric Lange) agrees on the condition that Bud is babysat by nerdy union rep Seth (Dave Franco). But when Bud pisses off Audrey (Karla Souza), the most dangerous vampire in Southern California, she seeks vengeance on Bud and everyone in his world. Day Shift was directed by J.J. Perry and produced by Shaun Redick and Yvette Yates Redick’s Impossible Dream Entertainment and 87eleven’s Chad Stahelski and Jason Spitz.
