Looking for a strong Comedy?
I'm looking for a producer or exec producer who likes big time comedy. On an indie level, budget is $1.5M - $3M, but this could be a tentpole. Any help is greatly appreciated.

David Cooper said… - Hey Mario, thanks for actually taking the time to read my profile. Most don't seem to bother. Just watched the Viking - where can I buy the T-shirt? I did some comedy club stuff but was too scared to go it alone, my hat's off to you. So I worked in a sketch group - House Band, performing Friday nights at the Improv in NY in the 80's. You might enjoy the video sketch I just posted - Election Day 2012.

- Another twisted mind! I knew it wasn't just me. Some interesting stuff there, you've got a good team assembled and know what you want to do with it - that puts you ahead of most of us. Good luck.
