The story follows Howard Fisk, a mild mannered, if not a little nerdy, librarian, who is a whiz at his job, but lacking in social skills. He is up for promotion which would move him out of the stacks and into the main wing.
A fellow employee offers Howard tickets to a three day, silent comedy film festival, which Howard accepts. Upon attending he discovers that there is a character in some of the silent movies who looks very familiar. He looks just like Howard!
From this point on, Howard's ordered life becomes something right out of a silent comedy!
Borgman brings back visual comedy as well as the mixing of color and black and white film.
Borgman wrote, produced, directed and starred in this slapstick film. Using pages right out of silent cinema he creates a hectic atmosphere with a supernatural under current, to bring The Man in the Movie to life!
This film is not yet ready for release. Borgman put the production on hold in order to finish and release his "Revolutionary Comedy!" The Deserter .
One of the lastest films in which he worked was Jonathan Mostow's The Surrogates which was filmed in Massachusetts, and stars Bruce Willis.
He also played a French customs officer in the upcoming Pink Panther 2.
