It's official! We're making an improv movie here in Cincinnati!
Joe Boyd (who is a member on here -- you should get to know him) wrote a movie back when he lived in LA. At one point a studio was signed on, and Drew Carey was set to star and direct. Some big names were being looked at to also be in this -- Dave Foley, Craig Ferguson, Michael Cera, the list goes on.....
Then, Drew took over the Price Is Right, and that was that.
Skipping a ton of details, fast forward to last month. Several investors meetings later, and here we are. We start filming on August 10.
Go to:
www.hittingthenuts.com for more info. Think "Waiting for Guffman" meets one of those poker shows on ESPN.
Several great improvisors from LA and Vegas are flying in, and the rest of the roles we filled with the three improv troupes I coach: "The Q City Players", "The Grapes of Laugh", and the "troupe yet to be named." Mike Weaver is even coming down to join us!!
If by some amazing chance any of you are going to be in the Cincy area between August 10-28, PLEASE let me know. I would LOVE to have you be an extra in the movie! I'm the AP, so I can do that. ;) You can contact me several ways:
