Jeff Michalski's work in improvisational comedy and theater is legendary. I can not wait to see his film Bi-Polar Vortex.
Jeff is well known in improv circles for his role in founding the Second City ETC, UpFront Comedy (where we were business partners,) and performing in dozens of films and tv shows. He has gathered a cast of Chicago's finest and funniest minds of the last few decades, a community known for its absurdist and ironic lens on the world, to impart their experience of 2014's polar vortex to you, the Chicago way.
Just looking at the Indiegogo I see guys like Michael McCarthy, Rob Potter and Kevin Burroughs are involved. Three fantastic artists, Michael a writer and performer with credits from SNL to Sesame Street, and Potter a talented photo and videographer. Burroughs is a legendary Chicago personality always known to me as the Mayor of Bucktown, plays some mean blues too.
I am super excited to see this.
