Todd Green, general manager of Tribeca Film, said “Kevin Pollak has made a ‘must watch’ on the art of comedy, for casual enthusiasts, to connoisseurs, to aspiring comedians. The deal was negotiated for Tribeca Film by Alison Diviney, manager of acquisitions, along with Nick Savva, vice president of Acquisitions, and UTA Independent Film Group on behalf of the filmmakers.
