"I do think that comedy has the power to do more than just make people laugh." Gravitas has debuted an official trailer for an indie documentary titled It Started As a Joke, a look at the decade-long run of the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival in Brooklyn, the alternative comedy scene in New York, and Eugene's personal life. This first premiered at the SXSW Film Festival last year, and is arriving on VOD in April for those curious to watch. It Started As a Joke was originally conceived as a concert film (showcasing moments from his fest) before it became something else, more of a profile of Mirman and his entire life. He was born in Moscow, Russia; then his parents moved to America when he was only four. And most tragically, his wife Katie recently passed away from cancer. The film has interviews with Michael Ian Black, Kristen Schaal, Wyatt Cenac, Ira Glass, John Hodgman, Kumail Nanjiani, Reggie Watts, & Michael Showalter. Check it out. ›››
