So Charlyne Yi and Becky Stark are two of my favorite performers. I’ve been super into their alternative style of comedy and performance for awhile* so it was a bunch of fun to make this spot for their show. If you are in LA come on through!
*also if you haven’t seen High School Record or Paper Heart you need to check them out IMMEDIATELY.
So I co-wrote this and now you can go watch it because it’s awesome!
So this lovely poster was designed by the amazingly talented cartoonist Domitille Collardey. And the logo for the company, Real Human Films, was designed by Laura Crescenti. I love this because it feels lonely in a way, but the color palette is warm and optimistic. Also, it reminds me a bit of the cover of one of my favorite designers, Christoph Niemann.
Hope you like it!
I Directed this series of political pieces with Michael Che for Above Average (comedy web wing of Broadway Video/SNL empressario Lorne Michaels)! Watch and vote!
I got interviewed about the TV on the Radio Doc I directed and I don’t sound like a total tool! You can read my jibber jabber here:

Thanks so much to Andy Markowitz for treating me with kid gloves. Also, it’s screening in Minneapolis on the 13th of October at SoundUnseen. Go check it!
Here is the lastest video I made for Punch just got picked by by The Hairpin. Also, it’s based on a previous series of storytelling videos I used to make. Also, I am really enamoured with the writer/actress/comedian/STAR! Sasheer Zamata who is SO FUNNY and really great at the nuanced levels of story within story.
“Oooh Cool!”
Hopes you like.
If you’re in Spain this Saturday, the TV on the Radio doc I directed is playing at the FIB Bennicasm festival. Go check it!
So I wrote and directed this parody of 16 and Pregnant for my new gig at Punch! Hope you like it!
So here is the trailer for The Exquisite Corpse Project a film I co-wrote with my friends from Olde English. The premise is pretty straight forward: Ben Popik, the director picked 5 writers and had all of them write 1/5th of a feature. But the catch was that after the first writer (me!) wrote the first 15 pages and the next writer could only see that last 5 pages, and so on and so forth.
The results are interesting and at times really inspired, but what I think makes it a beautiful piece of work is the interweaving doc about the process. It really gets to the core of what it’s like to make something and collaborate, which first and foremost is what film is. I’m currently finishing my first feature (How to Follow Strangers) as a writer/director and at times it feels like all you get are lumps. Trying to balance egos and expectations, make something true and honest while still engaging the audience can be a brutal process. And if you don’t step back every now and again to remember at the beginning, there was a childlike wonderment and desire to play with people who inspire you, it may not make sense why you keep taking it in the butt.
Unless you like taking it up the butt, in which case, more power to you.
