Damage Control

Synopsis: Damage Control is a real time short film that shows us the first explosive ten minutes inside celebrity comedian Harry Braun’s hotel room after the New York Times breaks the story on his sexual misconduct. We know what the fallout looks like for Braun, we saw it on a news loop for the better part of 2018, but what about his closest allies? What moral calamities lie ahead for his wife, children, and lawyer? If the answer is in Damage Control, a lot.
