Summary
Comic Josh Edelman (Mentally Al, The Jew Rogain Experience) was thrilled when his web series made it into a prestigious film festival. But when he arrived, he found the festival to be less than he expected and his film, well his film, was screened in a gymnasium in front on 5 people. Ouch. Listen to this tale as old as time, a hopeful filmmaker gets involved in a shitty film festival.
