Colm Meaney & Paul Reiser Chat with Clint Drieberg about "The Problem with People"

In "The Problem with People", Colm Meaney and Paul Reiser star as two estranged cousins, who having never met before, must try and put to rest a generation’s worth of family disputes - before they start another one!
Honouring his father’s last wish to reunite with the American side of his family, Irishman Ciarán calls his cousin, Barry, out of the blue with the offer for him to visit his homeland. Barry, keen to escape from the daily grind of his New York real estate firm, agrees to make the long trip over.
However, after an initially warm welcome, tensions soon boil over when it’s discovered that Barry has unexpectedly been left half the money in Ciarán’s father’s will. With the two men now torn apart by greed and jealousy, resulting in a feud that spirals into a series of pretty squabbles and disastrous hijinks, will they ever be able to give peace a chance again?
Written and produced by Paul Reiser, "The Problem with People" is directed by BAFTA-winner Chris Cottam (A Christmas Number One, The Misadventures Of Romesh Ranganathan) and co-stars Golden Globe nominee Jane Levy (Evil Dead, Don’t Breathe) alongside acting veterans Meaney and Reiser.
"My quest was made a lot easier with the help of legends Paul Reiser and Colm Meaney. Both charming and brotherly off screen and combative, petty and brotherly on screen, their partnership has the delightful fizz that fuels the energy of the story. Like all great actors, you can read and delve into the nuances of their performances over and over again for, despite it being firmly in the genre of ‘comedy’ the The Problem With People has at its core the existential question ‘what is it that we need to get along?’", said Chris Cottam
