“We’re very excited about this project,” says director Michael Clark.
“Through Deadpan we hope to bring together the different creative communities in Detroit: the artists, musicians, comedians, film makers and actors as well as show off locales throughout metro Detroit.”
Written by husband and wife team, Mike and Christine Bobbitt, Deadpan is a heartfelt and quirky comedy about a struggling comedian who becomes roommates with the ghost who was a singer for a Detroit punk band.
Their unlikely alliance leads them to redefine the meaning of friendship, family and ‘finding your own voice.’
