It's a wrap on "The Comedian". As per usual these days, we cannot let any cats out of the bag in discussing a film in production or post-production, but here is a link to its IMDB page. There are a few big names who appear in the film who are not yet listed, but what a great cast we had! The online description of the plot, which about covers it is: "A look at the life of an aging insult comic".

One of the fun things about working on this film was getting the chance to shoot some scenes in the Friars Club in NYC. They were great hosts and many of their members appear in the movie. You don't often get to spend time in the private clubs of NYC and certainly don't get to dawdle passing through so it was a real treat to be in this historic place and to admire bits of its history.
