Director: Michael Matzdorff Writer: Michael Matzdorff Starring: Tony Shalhoub, Barry Corbin, Ross Partridge, Katie Aselton, Michael Chernus, Vanessa Branch, Carlos Kotkin Joe (Ross Partridge) is a children’s book author, but his first book series -- which starts with Mr. Kitty Feeds the Fish -- grinds to a screeching halt when he is overcome by writer’s block.
