Alright, no invasions...just wanted a catchy title. I'm in Cape Cod working on a new spec screenplay. In the meantime, I'll be in LA next week pitching a new television show with the brilliant Kevin McDonald and Dave Foley.

Lastly, I just finished a series of commercial spots I directed that will launch sometime in October...really funny stuff, and I'll keep you posted!

I now have to put on my docksiders and fish...or something.

Actually, not really, but it was a catchy title! I'm currently working with Agency RX as a consultant for some soon to be seen (Late July or August) VERY FUNNY viral spots.

Stay Tuned...Or RSS Fed.

The selection list was incredibly long.

Apparently we beat out 'Yentl' by a hair (or a nose...?).
I've always wanted to clarify something. And before I do, yes, I'm a tad bit, what's the word I'm looking for...

neurotic?

Okay, so in the Skinhead Bar scene in which the Hammer yells out his now semi-immortal battle cry, 'Shabbat Shalom, Motherfuckers!,' there is a joke that involves a jukebox.

In the film I made and was released in theatres, the song that he chooses is 'Feelings,' by Morris Albert.

Somehow, when the elements were delivered to Paramount Home Video for the DVD, a song that I had tried and thrown out in the editing process found its way back into my movie; 'Roll Out those Lazy, Hazy, Days Of Summer.' I always hated that song - it never got a laugh, and 'Feelings' always killed with  audiences.

What's my point you ask? Not one, really. It was an honest mistake by an honest guy on my post team, but I still think about that at least once a week. A big laugh in my film was killed, and it still kills me years later. So, from now on, if you ever watch that scene, please hum 'Feelings' in your head instead.

Thank you, and now I must go and breathe deeply. ;)

I am proud to have been able to direct an episode of this incredibly fun and funny series! A big thank you and congratulations to David Wain and Jon Stern!

 
 

I will not be there, but if you're going to be in NYC, definitely check out this fun event that Daily Show writer Rob Kutner is putting on for Nextbook.

Rachel Dratch, in my humble opinion, one of the funniest women alive,  will be reading select scenes from HH2 along with some other very special guests.

Also, a special WMC thank you to both Rob Kutner and David Bar Katz for helping out while I'm on the wrong coast.

For tickets and more info about the event, go HERE.

I'm told the event will probably sell out pretty quickly...so,  no pressure or anything.

It's been awhile, sorry! Things have been hectic here at The WMC. So, some updates: I will be at the River Run Film Festival in North Carolina from the 24th of April until the 27th presenting the Midnight Moives and shorts. Then, I will be speaking at the University of Oregon on April 30th.

I will be in LA on May 5th pitching a very, very cool movie that I developed with the brilliant AJ Jacobs.

Stay tuned (what do you call 'tuned' on the web - 'refreshed?') because I also have a couple VERY BIG announcements to make coming shortly about a number of WMC projects. This is definitely going to be an exciting year!

This has been a truly amazing docu-series on the history of Jews in America, and I am incredibly proud that my film is featured in tonight's final installment.

Nice!!! (For The Day). And here's Slate!

 
 

...caught on like KJW! You can now see it not only here, but here, here, here, and...it's kinda of all over! The interwebs are kind of interesting. I wonder if there's any money to be made in this whole "new media" thing?
