(1888PressRelease) November 17, 2011 - The Funny Man, independent filmmaker Jake Barsha's horror web-series debut exclusively produced and distributed by Dailymotion.com and starring Ryan Reyes and Abby Wathen, has received over 637,000 page views in just 21 days on Dailymotion.com, including 50,000 views on Halloween, according to Right Hook Films, the production company for the web-series. The horror web-series debuted on Dailymotion.com on Tuesday, October 25, 2011 with ten original episodes which aired Thursday, November 3, 2011 to round out fall and winter programming. "The Funny Man" is currently being dubbed for viewing on Dailymotion.com's French web platform.

The Funny Man is written, directed, produced and edited by Jake Barsha who made his feature film debut in January 2009 with the independently produced movie Eugene, which received its world premiere at The Palm Springs International Film Festival. Eleven other U.S. and international film festival screenings followed, garnering rave press reviews and warm accolades for Eugene from festival programmers. Eugene left audiences squirming in their seats at what The Palm Springs Film festival acclaimed as "a brilliantly disturbing psychological thriller."

According to writer/director/producer Jake Barsha, "The Funny Man is a psychological horror thriller web-series in the vein of Psycho and Eyes without a Face, featuring a compelling villain who videotapes his victims, demanding that they say something funny on camera prior to killing them. Inspired by such cult American horror masterpieces as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Saw, the murder scenes bring viewers into the deranged mindset of a psychopath, and the violence is realistically chaotic and painful."

The Funny Man cast includes: Ryan Reyes (Eugene); Abby Wathen (The Sinners, The Intruders, Skeletons in the Desert); Leslie Easterbrook (The Devil's Rejects, Halloween); David Fine (The Red Door, Stricken, Blood Ties); Nikki Tomlinson (Date Night), Shaun Gerardo (Fast and Furious), Domiziano Arcangeli (Orgy of Blood; Don Danielson (Malpractice); with Sam Aidun, Verton R. Banks, Melissa Biethan, Lauren Bruniges, Devon Buck, Jessica Cameron, Sierra Collins, Amanda Gamel, Casey Moeckel, Michael Musa, Chelsea Vincent and Chris Watkins.

"The Funny Man" is produced by Jake Barsha for Right Hook Films; Matthew Prater and Frank Tobin are co-producers; Yuki Noguchi is director of photography; Adam Taylor is production designer and 2nd unit director; Erik Diener is art director and unit production manager; Matthew Brailey is sound designer; special FX are by Matt Gonos; Composer Elliott Goldkind has provided an original music score; Amanda Gamel is choreographer.
