Skyrim Hoarders. The A&E reality series visits Tamriel and discovers the only thing more dangerous than dragons, is yourself.

Here’s a new video I directed. If you’re a Skyrim fan I hope you enjoy it, if you’re a Hoarders fan I hope you like our parody of it, if you’re a fan of both this is the perfect video for you to watch today, if you don’t know of either of those things then you’re out of luck, but watch anyway! Starring the great Josh Ruben, Luke Sholl, and Nicole Shabtai, with special guest appearance from Mike Still, this sketch was written by Emily Axford, produced by David Kerns, and shot by Carl Herse. Chance and his team did a great job with the art and Alisha killed it with the wardrobe. Kelly did a phenomenal job with the edit, she literally nailed the look and feel of Hoarders in her first cut. Gloo did the graphics work as always.

The Post Office Is Getting Desperate

If you can’t beat ‘em, deny they ever existed in the first place.

I directed this video about how silly email is and how the Post Office will remain supreme forever!

The Special Effects of Wanderlust

We sat down with David Wain and Ken Marino to talk about The Special Effects of Wanderlust  [Like following us on Tumblr? Fan us on Facebook!]

Here is a sketch I wrote with Ben Joseph, also starring Joe Lo Truglio and Kerri Kenney. All four are hilarious and it was really exciting to write for them.

Film students, present and past, please enjoy this sketch written by me and Dan Gurewitch.

A favorite sketch written by two of my favorite sketch written-ers ever.

This is really amazing… and frighteningly accurate.

Here’s a video I directed poking fun at Film School and all the silly things we used to do. It was written by Emily and Dan, produced by Creighton, edited by Nick, VO by Kelly, and shot by Carl. 

This was super fun to direct because I got to throw in a lot of homages to films my friends and I made. For instance the titles: “If Nick” and “Sorrowful Repentance” are two titles of shorts I made in college (I know). The title “Friday Night Riot” is a throw back to the public access show my friends and I had in high school called, “Tuesday Night Riot.” The shots in the, “Life In The Key Of A-Minor” are all similar to a couple of movies I made in high school and my good friend Bryan made Freshman year of college. Also Bryan makes a guest appearance as Bertrand Peffercorn. 

And my favorite homage is the title, “Miles Apart”, which is a reference to a student film my friend Travis directed in college. The film starred a young Josh Ruben and Sam Reich who, at the time, I didn’t know and now I work with. Enjoy it and Reblog it!

You guys, the Siri commercial spoof I directed was named one of the top Internet Comedy Videos of 2011 by Huffington Post. What does that mean? I have no idea but it sounds kinda cool.
