Dying to Do Letterman
Live Your Dream.
The award-winning documentary
One dream. One deadline. No backup plan.
When 35-year-old comedian Steve Mazan learns he has cancer, he doubles down on the dream he’s chased since childhood: performing on Late Show with David Letterman. Funny, candid, and deeply human, the film asks what any of us would do if there were no time left to wait.
