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.

BrevityTV is currently accepting applications for a new member of our writing team.  The quality of our work must be improving, because we’ve had a lot more entrants this time, comprising a stronger pool of talent.  We’re getting to be the cool kids, I guess, because more people want to hang out with us.  But that means slogging through a huge stack of writing samples.  As further proof that I’ve yet to arrive, I have no reader.  It’s on me.

A personal blogging mandate of mine is not to offer advice.

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 actors found some excellent timing, and man did the production team make it look PRETTY!

Take a look over at BrevityTV.com.  We’re planning to do more series-based projects like this over the next year.
