A few sketches of mine have gone up at BrevityTV.com lately. (Let the fact that all three–and two others–were published in the last 60 days be my excuse for sparse posting here.) Please enjoy. I directed the first two, and wrote the third.
This was a project that was a pain-in-the-ass. It was more logistically complicated, cost more, and took longer than anything we’ve done. That said, the people involved were all awesome in making it happen, and I’m really proud of the result. The series was a great group writing effort from all of our writers, the [...]
It’s funny. You sometimes spend weeks prepping, a dozen or more people doing a super-long day to get your short to come out right, and it just doesn’t. This one, on the other hand, was four of us, total, and we were done in a half hour. And yet it’s one of my favorite sketches, [...]
Is now posted at BrevityTV.
And no likelihood of sleep any time soon… I’m loving the fact that I’m involved in BrevityTV.com right now. I can pitch a ridiculously difficult idea to my friends, and they jump in and help me make it real. My week: Saturday night: all-nighter completing the lyrics to a comedy song about Sarah Palin. It’s [...]
I’ve posted the short I recently directed up at Funny or Die. You love ScreenwriterGuy, right? Right? If so, show your love with a vote of “Funny.” Vote as often as you like. More “Funny” equals more love. Thank you! (P.S. Not quite safe for work. PG-13 due to discussion of graphic sex acts. Woohooo!) [...]
Our latest post at BrevityTV is one I’m pretty proud of. Unfortunately, it’s good enough that I start to care about all the things that aren’t quite perfect… but overall it makes me laugh, so that’s a good thing.
Following BrevityTV’s launch we’ve been posting a stump speech from a new presidential “candidate” each day. Well, they’ve spoken, and it’s time for you to cast your vote. Which candidate speaks to the issues of true importance to you? Is this year’s election about health care to you? The economy? Cabbages and Bear Traps? Having [...]
Friday: Writers meeting. Review applicants for new writers with current writers. Somewhere that day I did some writing, too, though I didn’t finish. That’s my curse lately. Saturday: Do lunch with potential producer. Audition new actors for our ensemble. Pool hall gathering with all of Brevity crew to celebrate the launch of our site. [...]
If you’ve been following the daily posts to BrevityTV, you know we’ve been putting up a new third-party candidate stump speech each day. Well, I just recorded the last of them, and it’s starring… (drum roll…) me. (End drum roll with disappointed trumpet fart…) Long story short, we had too many of them, and ran [...]
I realize it’s been a while since I’ve posted, but I had good reason: I was in the last sprint of a marathon. But the work of an entire collective of creatives is now available on the internet. brevityTV.com is live! For the first ten days it’s up, we’re posting a new presidential stump speech [...]
