JASH is an amazing new comedy channel on YouTube from Sarah Silverman, Michael Cera, Tim & Eric and Reggie Watts. It launched today and this intro video is just incredible.

I was lucky enough to direct a really funny new series for JASH that comes out very soon. The people behind the channel are as great as the talent that they’ve brought in. There’s a true understanding of both the YouTube model and audience, but an even truer understanding of making good comedy that’s not only catered to the YouTube audience.

In short, JASH gets it. Watch the video, subscribe and I hope you enjoy the new series I directed. It comes out soon. I’ll post about it once I know dates.

COMEDY.

YES. It’s now on YouTube, so you can watch it right here. Here’s a branded video I directed for Air Jordan starring Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele. Two of the funniest and nicest guys I’ve ever worked with, let alone met. Such a fun gig. Check it out!

Here is a brand new video I directed for Yahoo that was written by/stars the very funny Megan Amram. It also stars Retta, Rosa Salazar, Diane Mizota, Sonibert Rodriguez, and features a very special and weird cameo.

Please watch it, enjoy it, reblog it, etc. Thanks!

BIRTH CONTROL ON THE BOTTOM

Here’s a brand NEW video I directed for The Midnight Show.  I had such a blast making this one. It was written by Heather Anne Campbell and stars Joe Chandler, Eric Moneypenny, Curtis Rainsberry, Jeff Sloniker, Heather Anne Campbell, Stephanie Allynne and Hal Rudnick. Please watch it, like it, reblog it, send cash, etc.

BWAAAAAHHHH: THE SITCOM

I’ve been buried in a project that’s taken me out of the loop, so I have a lot of free time this month.  I’m itching to direct some comedy.  Got something you wanna shoot?  Let’s do this.  Here’s my reel.

“Toys for Feral Children,” a sketch I directed for The Midnight Show, is currently featured on the homepage of FunnyOrDie.  If you haven’t seen it, check it out.  It was written by Olympic gold-medal winning writer Heather Anne Campbell.

If you haven’t seen this Whitest Kids sketch, watch this. It’s one of the most brilliant sketches I’ve ever seen. It’s perfect. I’ve watched it so many times and it still gets me every time.

Here’s a new Uncle Mom short I directed that I’m really proud of. It features Toby Huss, who’s one of the funniest dudes I’ve ever worked with.  It’s under 2 minutes long and I would love for you to watch it.  If you really like it, please reblog or give it a thumbs up on YouTube.  That would be awesome.  

I hope it makes you laugh.  Also, it’s called “Open House.”
