Trust Us, This Is All Made Up: Film Screening January 28, 2010

Described by Time Out Chicago as "two of the world's finest practitioners of the art of long-form improv" and by the New York Times as "Second City-seasoned masters", TJ Jagodowksi and David Pasquesi have become living legends in their field. For the past six years, their performances of entirely improvised, character-driven, often hilarious and wholly original one-hour plays have mesmerized audiences worldwide.

Exploring the folds of trust and faith that underlie their relationship as well as the transcendental forces that govern their improvisation, Trust Us, This is All Made Up features an unforgettable live performance recorded at New York's Barrow Street Theater. Whether you're a student of improvisation or simply interested in the underpinnings of human imagination and the depths of mutual understanding, this journey will leave you laughing, guessing, and in awe of this altogether remarkable feat.

Director, Editor, and Producer Alex Karpovsky has received widespread recognition for his work. His first feature-length film, The Hole Story (2006), was described by Indiewire as “Amazing: smart, hilarious and surprisingly profound,” the existential black comedy earned Alex a slot in Filmmaker Magazine’s annual “25 New Faces of Independent Film,” a short-listing for the “Someone to Watch” Independent Spirit Award, and the key to the city of Brainerd, Minnesota.
