Comedian Bob Golub, who turned his life growing up in Sharon into a stage show, is looking to take the story to the silver screen.

Golub is working with Giraffe Productions to market "Dodo" to film studios.

Giraffe is headed by Jay Mohr, the actor from the films "Jerry McGuire," "Go" and "Pay it Forward" and the controversial, but short-lived, television series "Action."

A long-time friend of Golub's, Mohr hosts "Mohr Sports" on ESPN. Giraffe is one of two companies that produces "Mohr Sports."

"We're a fairly new company," said Cori Fry, Giraffe's director of development, with a television pilot in the works and a talk show, two TV shows and three films in the early stages of development.

Ms. Fry also is a friend of Golub's, and became a believer in "Dodo" after seeing Golub perform it on stage.

"I've been following Bob's one-man show for about a year," she said. "I just fell in love with it. I've seen it seven times."

Although there have been discussions about pitching "Dodo" as a television show, their aim is film. Ms. Fry said the story would have a bigger impact as a film.

"The level of talent we would need is more a film level than a TV level," she said, adding filmgoers have longer memories than TV viewers.

The company is setting up showcases of the play for film industry professionals to try to interest them in the idea of transforming it to celluloid.

"We're going to have everybody and their mother down there," Golub said, adding he hopes to have the showcases in June.

Since Golub has staged the show in Hollywood and scored a Daily Variety review, some film-industry people are aware of it, including some who could help get it made, Ms. Fry said.

Golub, 44, of Los Angeles, has written a script, which unifies the story a little more than the stage show does.

"When you're writing your own thing, you have to kill a lot of babies," he said of cutting favorite moments in the search for a unified script.

Ms. Fry, a former comedy club manager, said she likes the script.

"All those stories will be in the movie, but the format has to be different," she said, adding that Golub would be in the film. "There's got to be something to connect all the stories. It's got to retain the rawness and grittiness that attracted me. It's going to be fun and dark and real."

If a major studio passes, Giraffe would push for an independent production, she said.

While no timeline has been set, "I'd like this to be packaged and at least sold within the year," she said.
