Last night’s @nithyaforthecity fundraiser was a dream! So many unbelievably talented comedy folks coming together in vociferous support of the next mayor of Los Angeles! What a treat to witness this cast read the @dcharleyquinn : A Very Problematic Valentine’s Day Special! Thank you @bishilarious for putting this all together, @friedmanjefferson for the music, @dynastytypewriter for the hospitality and @justoffthesix for the fantastic pics posted here!
TONIGHT IS THE LAST FUNDRAISING DEADLINE FOR THE PRIMARY! MAKE ONE FOR NITHYA! FOR THE CITY OF L.A! ❤️
We had such a great time kicking off the 16th Season of On Story at PBS Studios!
It was such a joy to connect with both new and familiar faces for a night of laughs, conversation, and a shared appreciation for the brilliance of Patrick Schumacker and Abbott Elementary. Thanks for being a part of the AFF community, and thank you to our sponsors for making On Story possible!
Don't forget to keep up with On Story this season! Be sure to follow us on Spotify, YouTube, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.
That’s a wrap on Season 5 of @abbottelemabc ! Not enough superlatives to bestow upon our cast, writers and crew. Thank you all for another wonderful season of laughs and confirmation that I made the right life decisions 😂. Here’s some BTS photos from episode 521 “Ava & Fest.” It’s mostly of me pointing at stuff and saying things. Which is like 82% of directing when you think about it. Go Birds.
A spoiler-free post about tonight’s TWO-PART @abbottelemabc finale, the first part of which I had the incredible privilege of directing. A fantastic (as always) script by @bishilarious and with the 1st AD assist from the always on point @pexxamusic , whose lyrical genius rivals his organizational skills. These are but two of a hundred plus crew that brings the show to life. Spoiler-y photos of our ridiculously attractive and talented cast tomorrow… hope you all enjoy tonight’s show!
An absolute privilege and honor to get to direct an episode of @abbottelemabc this week. No spoilers, but it’s a big one.
Thank you to our incredible cast, crew, and writers (especially superstar @bishilarious who wrote this one). Thank you to Randall Einhorn for being a constant mentor in my directing education. Thank you to @pexxamusic for being a phenomenal 1st AD and creative partner on the production side. Thank you to the props team and art department for rising beyond the occasion and tackling a BIG job. Thank you @its_pep_dp , @brendazirena , @jsmithshoots , @magilltypleasure and @cameraruben for making it look elevated. Thank you to @quintab for entrusting me with the chair for another episode. And thank you to my writing partner @justinshalpern for the hall pass.
Too many people to name who made this one happen… I love you all.
