The Stage 32 Videos: Comedy

I decided to redo the dialogue in my largest project.

Produced as a part of an MFA program for film in the School of Film and Animation at the Rochester Institute of Technology, SKATEWORLD was developed as part of a class to help students in TARGETING AN AUDIENCE by producing a 90-second content-specific pitch/trailer designed for a particular network's branding. In this case, F/X. I still believe the work I completed here with writer/director SULLIVAN SLENTZ is worthy of a full season of sell-your-soul level dark comedy with shenanigans and scheming to keep the beleaguered rink afloat. - @thejeffgram

Marta and I set out to build a versatile portfolio together. I wrote four scripts, we produced three of them together and this is the second one. A short exercise in concept building, involving no budget, and basic equipment. We set out to create a short film that is a standalone drama. Follow us to watch the next projects.

I love the screwball comedies of the 1930s and 1940s. The era lasted even through the 1950s and early 1960s. But nothing compares to the witty, snappy dialogue and one-liners of the '30s with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. The stories were light on plot, but a delight of dancing, singing, zany misunderstandings, and wordplay. As great as Fred and Ginger were, their comedic co-stars sometimes had the funniest roles. Alice Brady was brilliant as wacky Aunt Hortense. This is my re-voice of the role, for fun.

Here is part 4 in my mini-video comedy-sci-fi series, Spring Break: Earth.

Meet Julie and Angela Goode: two cousins trying to make ends meet with their small baking venture. Their old school stoner neighbor Jan (JOHN) thinks she can revitalize their business with the suggestion of adding pot to their baked goods. What could possibly go wrong?

This is part of an animated series I'm doing based on a screenplay I wrote. Although the characters right now aren't individually animated, so it's more like a "talking comic book." Lol.

I'm animating "Spring Break: Earth" in one-minute increments, and uploading them to YouTube and TikTok as shorts. Here is part 1.

I had too much fun hosting a hockey show all about fans.

The imaginary friend to a teleplay writer learns he's no longer needed but before accepting the reality, he does extraordinary things in order to save their friendship.

A cable network writer gets an interview to get his script made into a television show, but the only thing stopping him is his imaginary friend.
