Jack Comeau

WHILE I'M HERE Period Piece The story of my all time hero, topical singer/songwriter, Phil Ochs who became the spear head of the 1960's anti-war movement. He waged his battles with a mix of incisive clarity, comic overview and the courage to leave the stage and join the front lines. For all of the wonderful good he did, he died by his own hand in myth-laden April of our Bi-centennial year - 1976

THE GREAT DIVIDE Period Piece BASED ON A LITTLE KNOW BUT TRUE HISTORICAL EVENT: In the Depression's cruelest year, 1932: A widowed, jobless, World War one Veteran, desperate to feed what's left of his family, travels across the country to join fellow WWI vets in Washington DC, to demand promised bonus money for having won the war. An embarrassment to President Hoover, sics the present-day army, led by Douglas MacArthur and flanked by Eisenhower and Patton to disperse them. The result is a major, war-like, battle within sight of the White House and Capitol building.

CLOSE PROXIMITY Period Piece Most people think that they know the full Titanic story but the don't. Not nine miles away, that night, a British tramp steamer watched the whole event but never came to the rescue. CLOSE PROXIMITY tells the story of the tramp steamer and her crew's subsequent descent into hell. A tragic journey of Shakespearean proportions.
