Louis C.K. Reveals Secret Indie Movie & Wants Fans to Help Get It in More Theaters

Louis C.K. co-wrote the movie with comedian Joe List, who stars “as a recovering alcoholic and jazz pianist in NYC who confronts his acerbic family during their annual Fourth of July vacation,” via THR.

Louis says he financed the film himself, and he also plays a role in the movie as Joe‘s therapist. Comedians Sarah Tollemache, Lynne Koplitz, Nick Di Paolo, Robert Kelly and Tony V all have roles in the movie too.

“For me, it was fun as all f–k to direct and make a film again. Outside of my two scenes as Jeff’s therapist, which we shot first and got out of the way, for me, it was a real pleasure to direct without acting for the first time in many years. I felt able to look after the cast and focus on the look of the movie. Whether or not I did any of that properly, is up to pretty much everyone but me. I am very pleased with the results and hope that folks enjoy Fourth of July,” he wrote.

“We are still compiling and constantly adding to the list of theaters which I will post on the web page for the movie which is on my website. Also if you would like Fourth of July to play at a theater near you, please contact the theater directly and ask for it.”

In 2017, the comedian admitted to sexual misconduct with five women.
