Look at me, look at me



Here's my updated writer-producer reel.

This features work from AMC's The Sci Fi Department, Comedy Central/Atom's Old People News, and "Next Level" a segment I created for Vh1's Best Week Ever.

Plus a sizzle with gorillas, puppets, wrestlers, dogs, hula hoops, Coney Island and me in KISS make-up.

The song is "New Rose" by The Damned, and this piece was edited by the amazing Eric Hendricks (who edited most of the original videos in the first place.)

Something Old, Something New

Puppet Rodeo



My new Comedy Central/Atom web-pilot is up. PUPPET RODEO is the story of brave, misunderstood puppets who risk their lives riding dogs. Competitively. We shot this in November, but it's just going online now to cash-in on the popularity of Rodeo Season (no joke!)

Puppet Rodeo

It was a challenging shoot, since dogs don't take direction. But I got to work with some awesome animals -- and some very talented humans, including DP Jeremy Carr, Shooter Ryan Fidrick, Voice-Actors Mark Douglas and Karen Sneider, and Eric Hendricks who served as editor, co-producer and puppeteer. And the dudes at Charged who made the puppets and sets.

Ryan, Eric and Jeremy also worked on OLD PEOPLE NEWS.

Old People News

OLD PEOPLE NEWS was supposed to become a web-series, but then the economy tanked. Too bad, I loved writing for those characters and continue to come up with jokes for them.

Behind the Scenes: OLD PEOPLE NEWS

Behind-the-scenes photos from that hilarious, award-winning short OLD PEOPLE NEWS.

We had a phenomenal cast, including Arthur Anderson who is one of the last surviving members of Orson Welles' Mercury Players.

Old People News won the audience favorite award at the Iron Mule Film Festival in January, 2009.
