Description

Michael Strassner joins Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott to talk about how one little direct message to Jay Duplass is what birthed the their new film The Baltimorons. A beautiful and heartfelt film set in Baltimore tells the personal and funny story of one man’s journey to sobriety on a fateful Christmas Eve. We talked about how difficult it is to get a movie made these days and what it means to Michael to have this film show his hometown, Baltimore.
