I took the fam to scout the restaurant for this Denny's commercial. My wife and I ordered breakfast and my 2.5 year old looked the waitress in the eye and asked for "two lobsters." Huge thanks to our friends at @wearefullpunch  and big love to the amazing crew who made it happen.

A few stills from Ivan Decker's comedy special, Popcorn. Very cute, very demure, very mindful, very popcorn. Written and Performed by @ivanwdecker Cinematographer: @leo.hynes Directed and Edited by @peterdirects Camera Operators: @deeray121 , @mikeklaing Audio Recording and Mix: @vee9zee Produced by Justin Silvera, @ianarougheti , Ian Adkins, Bryan Bitzer, Damion Greiman, Anthony Leo, @800pgm Emcee: @henokm5 Opening Act: @dylanwilliamscomedy Filmed at @hecklersbarandgrill

One of the cool things about being in the comedy community while also working in film, is getting the opportunity to direct and produce comedy specials. But, pressure is on to do a good job when it's one of your friends and you already have plans to see a movie together next week. Good thing Ivan killed it! And apparently today is NATIONAL POPCORN DAY, so there's no better day to remind you to go watch Ivan's special on YouTube (link in stories!) if you haven't yet. Or watch it again!

Honestly, I haven't done my taxes in 15 years. So I struck up a sweet deal with the CRA where I'd direct this H&R Block commercial and then in exchange... just still have to do my taxes. Actually not a very good deal for me now that I'm thinking about it. But a really fun shoot with a very talented team!

This comedic piece is just in time for tax season! Projects like this is are why we love what we do. This was a full team effort from an amazing and scrappy crew! Watching the script come together was super fun. Then to see wardrobe, production design and hair & makeup bring their creative flare to the table was the cherry on top. Enjoy and make sure to do your taxes!

Had fun working with Quarterly Comedy directing some of their corporate sketches and building some very realistic man goat legs that I now wear every day.

Live by the Previs, or die by the not-knowing-if-your-shots-will-fit-the-edit-time-constraints...vis. It's now practically a requirement I have to make a previs even on simple shoots. It asks and answers so many questions that you can solve for in pre. Even clients seem to like seeing the thought process and can better wrap their heads around the shared idea of what the heck it is we all agreed to make.
