Documentary:

Leave Them Wanting Less

40 minutes

NEW YORK PREMIERE

English

Leave Them Wanting Less follows comedian Tom Simmons through a high-stakes experiment: filming three full-length stand-up specials in three nights, all at the same venue. As Tom moves from green room nerves to the spotlight and back again, the documentary captures the exhaustion, self-doubt, and unexpected moments of transcendence that arise when one man tries to outpace time, expectations, and himself. 

Directed by award-winning filmmaker Michael Malone, the film seamlessly blends backstage vérité, onstage brilliance, and intimate reflection into a portrait of a working comic reckoning with purpose. It's not just about recording jokes; it’s about what it means to leave something behind before the clock runs out.

We Know It Was You 

A satirical murder-mystery comedy about a millennial who gets wrongly accused of killing a man she’s never even met. When she’s bailed out by the victim’s melodramatic widow, she’s forced into a ridiculous investigation full of incompetent cops, over-the-top suspects, and chaotic twists.
