Thank you for checking out Starring Jerry As Himself about my father. It will be the most personal film I ever make. It's been an amazing journey from 2023 to now...We're premiering to select markets in theaters Nov 6th and will be hitting streaming also this Fall. I hope to rally as many supporters as possible to follow the IG and to spread the word!.

Jonathan! Man. Congrats on making an excellent film. Many of my friends caught it at Sidewalk and really dug it. I'll continue to spread the word as the film hits theaters and streaming! Hope you can make it to Birmingham for a future Sidewalk. 💙

Oddity is pretty nice. I like how tight and compact the film is. And it really creates a sense of creeping dread that is punctuated with some rather nice jumpscares.

Yeah, it's pretty spooky! It works within a more traditional horror formula, but it does the formula well. And the third-act payoff is great.
