“Dying Alone” is a comedy series based in Chicago from Chicago Sky View Productions. Each episode is written by a different comedian about living and performing comedy in Chicago.
Each episode takes between 3-4 days to shoot and about a week to edit. The crews are very small (often consisting of the 2 directors and myself as the Director of Photography and various roles on set). The goal is to outsource stories from various local Chicago comedians and transform them into short web series moments with a rotating cast and situations.
The series has been highlighted on IVIDB and has been featured on the front page.
Dying Alone was a project that was made with long time friend, partner, collaborator, and swell guy Robert Felker, who I have know and worked with since 2009 in projects include Suspicous Clowns, Coffee, FANG, Twisted Little Lies, and dozens more. Also good friends Dan Wasik and Charles Schoenherr were key to getting this made and great to work with.
