The Improviser

Saw this film at the San Antonio Film Festival and was surprised at this tense gem of a thriller. Set in the NYC comedy I thought it would be a "coming of age" story about the lead character Brett but it quickly devolved into a nightmarish take of ambition.

The director led a great Q&A session afterwards and really let us inside the process of the main character's psyche. Check it out wherever it's streaming!

Whoa! Like a film that grabs you by the shirt and doesn't let go til the credits! Had me early in, htrreat performances, cringe moments, and awkward comedy!

What a fun indie psychological thriller. Really cool character study of an untalented "comedian" and how they deal with their dreams being unachieved. Was thinking about it still a few days later.

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.
