"Director, writer, and actor Jay Chandrasekhar tells the hilarious history of his comedy group, Broken Lizard, and the making of the 2001 film Super Troopers, as well as the currently filming Super Troopers 2. Jay Chandrasekhar has spent the past two decades writing, directing, and acting in film and TV. With his comedy group, Broken Lizard, he produced and directed Super Troopers, Beerfest, and Club Dread. Now, Jay tells the ridiculous, madcap, dead-honest story of how he built his career, formed Broken Lizard and made Super Troopers. Jay grew up Indian American in the lily-white suburbs of Chicago, and he had an outsider's perspective from the beginning. Instead of taking the traditional acting path, he formed his own troupe, wrote his own scripts, and made movies his own way. A hilarious story about making it in Hollywood."--Provided by publisher.
