Production Details:
The Comedian follows Charlie, an Australian-born traveling comedian trying to make it in the states. His work brings him to the seediest of motels while on the road.

This short was originally shot for the Jakob Owens horror short film competition, but has since taken a new life. This current cut, post competition is now longer, and more footage has been shot for it. Everything was shot at a single location at the Cajon Pass Inn. The film was shot on both an Alexa Mini, and a Sony Handicam.
