Shutter

"They are always watching"

Shutter is an experimental short film that blurs the line between narrative, satire and self reflection. It primarily explores the anxiety of performance and the fear of being judged. Through various lives, the film communicates these pressures. A man who loses his temper over a letter, a comedian dying on stage and a dishonest friend. Anything from everyday actions to major stunts spiral out of control into moments of scrutiny and even silence becomes a form of judgement. By combining satire with a sense of self awareness, Shutter captures the true essence of creating, performing and exposing oneself to the gaze of others.

Louis C.K.: Live at The Comedy Store

This material was developed and prepared over the last year or so, mostly in comedy clubs. This special kind of goes back to when he used to just make noises and be funny for no particular reason. It felt right to him to shoot this special in a club to give it that live immediate intimate feeling. The show is about an hour long. The opening act, who is seen at the beginning (good place for an opening act) is Jay London. One of his favorite club comics going way back to the late 80s when he first started in working in New York.
