Introduce Yourself : Jack Comeau by Jack Comeau

Hi Folks : I made living in the world of TV lighting, one Emmy, three nominations. Tired of running around film sets have gone into my true passion of writing full time. I've written 5 screenplays, still shopping three, one novel, available on amazon and I'm doing stand comedy these days. SO WHAT'S SO FUNNY ABOUT THIS INTRO,RIGHT? I'm saving my energy, plus, I'm still savoring my second breakfast scotch. There goes any chance of finding a date on this site. Kidding about the scotch, anyway. Coffee is now my drug of choice. I drink just enough until I'm ready to take hostages before hitting those laptop keys. My three current screenplays are: CLOSE PROXIMITY, THE GREAT DIVIDE and WHILE I'M HERE. If I tell you about them, I'll be tip toeing dangerously close to that no log lines rule. So, check the STAGE area, or whatever they're calling it for those. I will, however, at the end of this diatribe, post a link to my novel. That's probably against the rules too but, hell, we're all going to die under President Trump anyway. On the personal front, after taking my leave of lighting, I moved up to the wilds of Ventura. It's the best of both worlds. I've a deck that's bigger than some apartments I've lived in. It has a panoramic Pacific Ocean view. I know, what other ocean would it be, right? I do so love alliterations, though. All this and I can be on any studio lot inside of an hour and a half. Of course not a lot of people are asking me on to studio lots these days. Maybe I can still get on the ET ride at Universal?

Oh yeah! That lick to my novel that I promised. See, this is why I need an agent. I had one but his parole doesn't come now for at least six months. Not a lot of laughts in this book. It's titled, DISTRESS SIGNAL, and NO it's not an autobiographical plea for help. Here's that link: www.amazon.com/1475116756/

Wow, what a cool background you have, Jack! Also, LOL at dying under President Trump Welcome to the site and definitely check out that ET ride. :)

Jack Comeau

Thanks, Lynette! Great to gather "cohorts" in battle. Let's keep in touch. Fill me in on you own stuff. Best! Jack

Richard "RB" Botto

That's one hell of a journey thus far, Jack! Appreciate you sharing!

Jack Comeau

Thanks, Rich, the spice of life, I guess.

Jack, I can tell you from the get go, you are funny. Nothing wrong with coffee and a drop of Jack..Daniels that is. I did lighting design for 9 years, for a theater company here in NYC. Alot of hours, climbing up and down, but I was young and loved new challenges. Welcome again.

Jack Comeau

Hi Jorge! In the early 1990's I was Head Lighting Director for WWOR-TV right across the Hudson. In the Meadowlands, where Mafia buries the bodies.

Jorge J Prieto

Wow, Jack. You got a story there. Shit! Lol.

Jack Comeau

I do! Even some legal ones!
