Harry has also written and directed a short film 30 Minutes
- which received terrific acclaim at the NY Independent Film Festival.
Bringing in Harry to play the part of an industry expert or newly hired executive. He starts off for real, but after a few minutes of his outrageous quips, everyone realizes they've been had - and they love it!
Each of Harry's put-ons is completely customized to the client's need and situation. Sometimes the spoof
takes the form of poking fun at a general topic you agree on with Harry; sometimes it's poking fun at specific people that you and Harry select. In either case, you can rest assured it will be a hit with your group.
Nothing refreshes a group better then laughter - as everyone emerges re-energized, ready to tackle new challenges. From planning to implementation, from completion to beginning, or from work to relaxation - it's the perfect way to refocus a group on new goals or activities.
In addition, corporate audiences enjoy Harry's video shorts, where he interviews selected attendees (in character), to create a hilarious 8-10 minute piece played following his presentation - as well as his humorous videographies of entire conferences. So when you think of finding the right performer to give your people a laugh-fest - they will love and thank you for, two key words make all the difference: Harry Freedman!
