The Beta Test

Jordan Hines is a Hollywood talent agent juggling a career under pressure from rivals with preparations for his wedding to Caroline. Into that busy life arrives an anonymous letter inviting him to a sexual encounter with a stranger in a hotel room. He goes, and the meeting unsettles him: he begins to suspect the invitation came from someone close to him, and his attempts to identify who sent it pull him into a tangle of deception, infidelity and digital data that threatens the life he has built.

The Beta Test is a comedy thriller with horror elements, released in 2021 and running 94 minutes. Jim Cummings directs and stars as Jordan, and he wrote the screenplay with PJ McCabe, who also appears as Jordan's friend PJ Pruitt. Virginia Newcomb plays Caroline, with Wilky Lau, Olivia Grace Applegate and Jacqueline Doke among a credited cast of 45. It is a British-American production from Vanishing Angle, DiffeRant Productions and Sons of Rigor. It followed Cummings's earlier features Thunder Road and The Wolf of Snow Hollow.
