SHE USED TO LAUGH

A Greg Berman Short Film

Poster (WIDE).jpg

Under the familiar glow of the spotlight, Jay wrestles with a past relationship in the only way he knows how. While Jay takes the small crowd of the legendary Kibitz Room in Los Angeles on a comedic journey of love and loss, through flashbacks, we begin to notice how much of his own past Jay has yet to confront.

 

This short film is produced, directed, written, co-edited, and acted by Greg Berman, with cinematography and co-editing by Nic Murphy, and sound design and mixing by Jason Halogen. Performances by Greg Berman (Jay), Anna Daines (Veronica), and Danny Jolles (Scott).
