About

Though Jack Comeau has made his living as an Emmy Award-winning Lighting Designer for TV and Film, he has stayed close to his seagoing roots. His grandfather was a Grand Banks fisherman from Nova Scotia. Jack has spent years crewing old New England schooners much like the one that appears in his first novel, DISTRESS SIGNAL.

The great Hollywood icon of cinematography, Vilmos Zsigmond, brought Jack on board to write an ON THE WATERFRONT sequel along with that 1954 film’s originator, Budd Schulberg. Vilmos was to be the director. Unfortunately, the project failed to come together before Mr. Schulberg’s death. Vilmos is currently attached to direct another screenplay of Jack Comeau’s titled CLOSE PROXIMITY, the true story of a British tramp steamer ship that sat a mere ten miles from the sinking Titanic and never came to the rescue.

Jack is currently putting the final touches on his second novel, the first in a series of seven detective style novels with the same character, as well as trying to find a home for his screenplay about topical singer/songwriter Phil Ochs titled WHILE I’M HERE.

Jack lives on the seacoast in Ventura, CA.
