EXCLUSIVE: Five-time Emmy winner Jean Smart (Hacks) and actor-comedian Lil Rel Howery (Get Out) have teamed up for comedy short film Too Good.

Written and directed by Meron Alon, the film explores the afterlife with a humorous twist. In Too Good, a recently deceased man (Howery) arrives at the Gates of Heaven.

There, he faces an unconventional interview with God herself (Smart), to determine if he’s good enough to get in. Arjun Yadav produces under his RSA Endeavors banner.

Casting directors Barbie Block and Robin Lippin will executive-produce alongside Ben Escobar. The film is currently in post production. “I was drawn to the script because I thought it was hilarious,” said Jean Smart. “The clever dialogue winks at all our quirky little private moments when we question, ‘Am I really a good person?’ Combine that with the opportunity to play God and I had to say yes.” “Too Good encourages viewers to reflect on their own lives”, said Meron. “If I made you blush or allowed for an uncomfortable truth to be revealed…I did my job…Jean’s powerful presence, and her remarkable ability to exude both authority and warmth makes her perfect for a role as iconic as God.” She continued: “And who better to match wits with the Almighty than Lil Rel Howery!
