Interview:
C. Bailey Werner,
star/writer/director,
"The One You're With"
Could you survive a weeks-long lockdown with only a complete stranger for company? This is the question that Austin-based writer/director C. Bailey Werner asks with his rom-com two-hander, The One You're With. Werner's social media monitor enjoys a one-night stand with Koko Marshall's Austin transplant. The next morning, the U.S. government declares a mandatory lockdown to stop the spread of a deadly virus that is not COVID-19. Unable to return to her hotel, Marshall has no choice but to spend the next few weeks living at Werner's house. Despite their mutual attraction, though, Werner and Marshall quickly discover they may not be compatible housemates. The cast also includes Lee Eddy and Byron Brown as Werner's neighbors and Superstore's Colton Dunn as the bumbling President of the United States. Shot during the COVID-19 lockdown, The One You're With premiered locally during this year’s Austin Film Festival and is now available for digital and on-demand viewing. C. Bailey Werner previously directed The Perfect Host, which also starred Koko Marshall. He also starred in The Get Together and The Tiny Life of Butcher Duke. Aired: Dec. 30, 2021.
