Jack Brown Genius
Film (Trailer) – 1995
Everyone says his latest idea will never get off the ground.
– Narrator of the trailer
This was my debut feature as a director. I consider Jack my worst directorial performance ever and I take most of the responsibility for the ultimate train wreck — yet I'm very proud of many aspects of the film. The actors put in fine performances; the crew, for the most part, did a fabulous job, and the catering was without fault.
– Writer/director Tony Hiles, in his backgrounder on the film
