a benign comedy

“It's been said, holding a spinning top makes time stand still. We can stay here forever and never get old.”

a benign comedy is a glimpse into the world of Tommy, the young son of Irish immigrants, as he navigates his life in the Bronx in the 1950s and '60s under the dome of a community where everyone is busy knowing your business. Surviving by his wits and his wit, Tommy learns to embrace his unique perspective and in the process discovers an extraordinary muse.
