Comedian Louis C.K. has experimented with selling stand-up specials and tour tickets online to great success, and now he’s launching something a bit more retro — his very first film. The 1998 feature Tomorrow Night, which C.K. wrote and directed, will be available to purchase directly from his site for $5 starting tomorrow. The strange black-and-white film, which tells of a photo store owner named Charles, starred Chuck Sklar in the lead role and also featured minor appearances from Steve Carell, Amy Poehler, Wanda Sykes, and Conan O’Brien.
