The #1 Dating Website

A lot of dating websites make promises, but only one delivers.  Here’s the latest video from my UCB Comedy team The Brig.

Warning: Unless you have headphones, it’s NSFW.

I wrote and edited this one, Nathan Russell directed it, Mackenzie Condon produced it, Jason Guerrero shot it and Mark Phillips wrote the music.  Nate wanted to play it very cute and innocent and I think Alden Ford and Laura Willcox did a great job.

Real Fake Guns

There’s a real problem with fake guns.  Here’s the latest video I directed for my UCB Comedy Beta team The Brig.

Crystal Delahanty wrote it, I directed it, Mackenzie Condon produced it, Nathan Russell shot it and Matt Mayer edited it.  It stars Tim Martin and Mike Still who both did a great job delivering some difficult lines.

Also, a big thanks to the Abracadabra Superstore for letting us use their store.  They were great to us, everyone should buy a fake gun from them.

Groundhog Day Day

Here’s the latest video I directed for my UCB Comedy Beta team The Brig.  It might be our weirdest one yet.

Matt Mayer wrote the original idea and then Matt, Nathan Russell and I kept adding to it until it very organically became something none of us would have thought of on our own.

Also, if you watched the whole thing and don’t understand the ending, it’s a callback to The Brig’s commercial for the depression medication Numbalex.

Jon Gutierrez wrote and starred in it, I directed and did the animation, Morgan Evans shot it and Nathan Russell edited it.

Overly Ambitious Ensemble Sketch Team

It’s been a really busy week for my UCB Comedy Beta team, The Brig.  We have THREE new videos.

Our latest is Overly Ambitious Ensemble Drama, which Zack Phillips wrote, Jason Guerrero shot and I directed and edited.

The thing about a parody of an overly ambitious ensemble drama is that it’s also an overly ambitious ensemble sketch, but Zack not only wrote such a challenging sketch, he produced it and organized all the actors (Zack and I also probably spent about 8 hours planning out the whole shooting schedule).

Who are the actors?  I’m glad you asked. In no particular order: Tim Martin, Amy Heidt, Ben Rameaka, Dru Johnston, Corey Brown, Emily Axford, Shaun Diston, Alex Charak, Rob Michael Hugel, Matt Fisher, Kim Ferguson, Verónica Osorio, Jason Saenz, Don Fanelli, Will Hines, Jon Gutierrez, Amber Petty, Dan Hodapp, Brandon Gardner, Josh Patten, Molly Lloyd, Keith Bethea, Jordan Hirsch, Matt Starr, Eddie Brawley, Will Storie, Matt Cutler, Amanda Hirsch, Drew Tarvin, Jeff Wisniewski, Scott Yacyshyn, Dave Bluvband, Ben Ragheb, Matt Mayer, Adam Sacks, Morgan Evans, Zack Phillips and Jason Guerrero.

Also out this week is Time Life’s Rough Drafts Music Collection.  Written and directed by Matt Mayer, and featuring the singing of Eliza Skinner, Morgan Phillips and Matt Mayer.

And that’s all.  Just three videos.  If you want more per week, you just have to to pay our rents.

If only they could all be this easy. Zack Phillips and I came up with the idea on the spot, and we had the whole thing shot 5 minutes later. Jason Guerrero was the cameraman, and I did the special effects.

I wrote it, Nathan Russell shot, directed and edited it. Nathan added the “realization” at the end, which I think is great and I wish I thought of it myself.

And here is last week’s video.

Zack Phillips wrote this one, Jason Guerrero shot it and I directed, edited and did the effects.  I was excited to do this one because I haven’t had many chances to do a video that really relied on the actor’s performance, and I think Terry Withers did a great job as the film critic.

Here’s another Brig video.

Also, UCB Comedy just launched their new design, and they’re working really hard to get lots of good new content up (my team The Brig is a part of that), so you should check it out.

The Brig

A message to the 5 people who read this site regularly.

Over the past three months, you may have noticed far fewer posts.  This is because the UCB theater formed Beta teams, which are tasked with making weekly videos for their website, and I am a director on the team The Brig.

Believe it or not, one video a week is a lot to accomplish in your free time (even with a team of 6 other talented writers, directors, editors and producers), so I have less time to write here.

Here’s our last video.  Mackenzie Condon wrote it and Matt Mayer directed (along with making the song and doing the special effects).  Beware, it’s veeeery weird.

Also, here’s a hilarious video made by another UCB Beta team, Diamonds, Wow!  It was written by my friend Melinda Taub, and features great directing and editing by Ed Mundy and Zach Neumeyer respectively.
