So fun - Glad I could be there for the creation of a while new genre: Clown Noir! A great script, solid direction and fantastic actors - what more could you want?! See it while it's here!... full review

A must, must, MUST see. Gorgeous to watch. Incredible writing and directing and talk about a fantastic cast! Jeffrey Johnson draws us in before the story officially begins (and our attention is captivated to the very end); and away we go on a magical journey. The film noir setting is so delicious with every twist and turn. Ha! Ann Noble, Robin McDonald, and Christian Haines are beyond wonderful! Do yourself a favor, will ya: Just go see it! ... full review

Dead Man was a delightful take on film noir, with a healthy dose of clowning and actual pathos. ... full review

Extraordinary! Brilliant! Both in the conception and in the presentation. Extremely humorous, ah the hell with it, it's hilarious and at the same time tremendously moving. It's deep. It's tragic. And it's slapstick. It reminds us that what we think is real is at the core metaphor. That doesn't mean we can't laugh and cry.... full review

I was caught up immediately, from the bare bulb lighting, to the clack clacking of a typewriter. Wasn't sure where it was going and in one swift yet nuanced pivot, I saw it all, and it all made sense. Smart. Funny. Poignant. I had laugh out loud laughs, and tugs at my heartstrings. "Dead Man" is great. Highly recommend. ... full review
