""My friends and I spent most of our time and creative energy writing this show for Comedy Central that was called 'The Fuzz,'""
""We had written the whole season because Comedy Central liked a pilot that we had shot, but they wouldn't officially green-light it.""
""All that work was for nothing,""
""Out of that frustration, Chris Ford and I said, 'Let's go make that clown thing that we're always joking about.'"}],"
""We had zero goals for it," Watts said. "It was completely made for fun.""
By 2010 Jon Watts worked as a music-video and commercial director while trying to get a first feature or television series off the ground. He and Chris Ford developed a Comedy Central project titled The Fuzz and wrote an entire season, but the network declined to green-light it. Frustrated, they made a short based on a recurring joke about a man who cannot remove a possessed clown costume; that short evolved into the feature film Clown. Clown premiered in 2014 with a limited U.S. release, gained a cult following, and received a German Turbine Media 4K UHD edition with a new making-of documentary, interviews, an alternate ending, and a concept design gallery.
