THE LYING KING (2009)Everyone knows someone in their town who is known as the "Local Liar". Fess Dorsey is one of those people. A teamwork trainer employed by his nephew Carleton, he is fired after multiple employees he trains quits. Kicked out onto the street as well, Fess comes to rent a room from divorcee Claudia, whom he immediately irritates with his constant string of BS. Taking a break to enjoy the countryside, he witnesses a murder of a "man in a white hat" by a man "In a spooky mask". Unable to convince the local cop, the baseball bat wielding Sherwood Fernside, Fess grows more and more angered and irritated as his lies make the truth hard to prove.

Behind The Scenes
"Fun, if tiring film to make." Scott recalls about the 2-week shooting schedule. "But everything worked for around 95% of the production, and I was pretty happy with the results. "Frank Filladucia" didn't get very warm reviews, and with this one, I was hoping to turn the tide back to a more positive critical reception. As usual, the cast did a good job with their roles. The film starts pretty much as a hard comedy, then gradually shifts over time to a darker tone, with those occasional touches of humor thrown in for levity."
