A NYC movie set on the streets, in the summer, a man on the verge of sanity...if you like films like Taxi Driver, King of Comedy, Joker, etc this is a movie proudly in that film lineage!
Interesting film about improv, comedy, and mental illness. Great characters, cool locations, and good performances. Check it out if you like a slow-burn thriller.
Loved the Alt-Right Shark, haha.

Caught this film at this the Austin Revolution Film Fest and it was amazing to see it with an audience..and by "amazing" I mean cringe (In the best way). Brett is a really fascinating character and the events that lead to the final third are really interesting to behold! My whole row was tense halfway through b/c we had no idea hat was going to happen next! Check out this indie gem!

I caught this movie on TUBI, and wasn't quite sure to expect from this indie thriller. But, wow...what a thrill ride!
The story follows Brett Sugarman, a ambitious comedian who isn't all that funny..or socially adept at being normal! Brett's ambition can only take him so far, and when that limit is stretched Brett finds his mental state in fast decline!
I loved the story, the characters all felt very real, and the behind the scenes look at a comedian's struggles was really interesting to see. This is a movie that doesn't allow you to get comfortable, once the story starts you're taken on a journey. I highly recommend this film if you like movies like "Joker" or "Taxi Driver".
