Interesting facts

Poor Greg Drowning is a 2018 comedy film from writer and director Jeffrey Scott Collins, adapted from his short film Glimpses of Greg. It stars Graham Sibley, Marguerite Insolia, and Ajay Mehta, and was narrated by Cedric the Entertainer. An initial cut of the film premiered at the 2018 Sunscreen Film Festival in St. Petersburg, Florida. Comedy Dynamics released the film via multiple digital platforms on August 11, 2020.

Development

Poor Greg Drowning was adapted from director Jeffrey Scott Collins's short film Glimpses of Greg, and some footage from the short film was used in the feature. Collins mainly filmed Poor Greg Drowning on weekends. The animated sequences in the film were created by animator Steven Kamakanda, and were inspired by Collins' drawing of Greg as a stick figure used as a title card for Glimpses of Greg.

Filming began in June 2015 and ended in September 2016, and the film was shot with a small crew. After the early cut played at festivals, the final cut of the film was completed in March 2020. As the crew did not have a dedicated props department, they needed to mix together an assortment of foods in the kitchen at the location where they were filming to create the fake vomit for the scene where Greg vomits over his trainer’s feet.

It was confirmed on April 27, 2020 that Comedy Dynamics had acquired Poor Greg Drowning and would release the film onto video on demand services on August 11.
