Synopsis: Out of Order tells the story of a desperate young lawyer who takes a new job to win back his supermodel ex—only to secretly start working for his old firm too. Caught representing both sides of the same case, he juggles two bosses, one lawsuit, and a mountain of lies in the world’s most unethical rom-com.
Director’s Bio: Guy Jacobson is the writer-director of the upcoming comedy Out of Order, featuring Brandon Routh, Sam Huntington, Krysta Rodriguez, Tao Okamoto, Asher Grodman, Michael Potts, with Sandra Bernhard and Brooke Shields. A former Wall Street attorney who returned to his first love—the arts—Jacobson founded Priority Films in 2000 and has since built a diverse career across film, theater, and television. His acclaimed works include the documentary Redlight and the feature Holly, which screened in over 130 countries, as well as award-winning theater productions and over 250 hours of satirical television. Beyond his creative achievements, Jacobson is a globally recognized human rights advocate: founder of RedLight Children, recipient of the Global Hero Award (announced at the White House), and honoree of numerous international prizes for his efforts combating child exploitation and trafficking.
Director’s Statement: Out of Order was inspired by my years in Big Law, where I witnessed absurdities that begged to be turned into comedy. The film collides two worlds—the glitzy allure and seductive emptiness of corporate law, and the scruffy, dream-chasing office where heart still survives. That tension is where the story’s humor and humanity live.
I like to think of the movie as My Cousin Vinny, Mrs. Doubtfire, and A Fish Called Wanda running headlong into Office Space. It’s fast-paced, satirical, and built around a unique dual-role performance with room for improvisation, a return to the kind of big, physical comedy too rare in today’s cinema. At one point I even joked about staging the courtroom climax as a ballet at the Met—because comedy, at its best, takes the ridiculous seriously. For me, laughter has always been the way through dark times.I was blessed on this project to work with an incredible cast and an amazing crew that contributed their genius to make the film far better and funnier than I could have ever do on my own! My hope is that this film reminds audiences that comedy still matters—and that nothing pairs better with hope than a really good bottle of wine.
