A Short Documentary Exploring One Man’s Journey from Living Upstate to Performing On-Stage
On a hot summer night in the cramped back room of a Brooklyn bar, Jim Search, recorded his debut comedy album, Upstate Understandings. The documentary, Understanding Upstate, examines how Jim’s comedy has developed over the last 10 years by juxtaposing his early experiences as a kid growing up in Binghamton, NY, to living his adult life in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and gives you a look at all the work, collaboration, and hustle that goes into creating an album.
