One of the areas feature films often fail in, is the portrayal of the stand up comedians and the comedy club environment, so I was pleased to see that director Justin Molotnikov, not only nails that, but also delivers a gripping thriller in his debut feature Crying with Laughter.
For me as a director, one of the key jobs that I have to do is create an environment first and foremost, where people can feel relaxed; that they can be creative.
