I was asked to create the opening film to kickoff NBCUniversal’s One22 developer conference (held at the famed SNL studio 8H at 30 Rock). The film was designed to promote NBCU’s tech-forward advertising model by poking gentle, metaphorical fun at the antiquated Nielsen ratings system. Hence, “Meet Neil.” And oh boy, did the stars align on this one. Despite the ambitious timeline and production schedule, it was a ridiculously collaborative experience from start to finish, and we’re all immensely proud of the finished work.
Starring Craig Cox and Echo Kellum.

Cucks is a series about three ultra-progressive best friends who agree it’s time for privileged, straight white men like themselves to listen, and they’re not afraid to tell you about it. In their effort to be on the right side of history, the Cucks end up on the wrong side of everybody.

In a triumphant return to form, NBCU presented their annual upfront event live at Radio City Music Hall. I was tasked with creating the opening and closing film segments to promote this year’s BravoCon event.
During the upfront event, Radio City’s massive movie screen lowered into place on stage and our opening segment began to play. In the film, the stars lunge for their cell phones and inadvertently concuss each other. Right on cue, the Radio City screen receded away and the stars awoke, LIVE on stage, surrounded by all their favorite “Bravolebrities” along with the 6000 guests in the theater audience. After a spectacular song and dance number, they passed back out on stage, the screen lowered back into place, and the epilogue of our film concluded the tale.
Sadly, I can’t share footage from the Radio City stage show, but here (and below) are a few photos from the live extravaganza. This was an incredibly ambitious multimedia endeavor, and kudos to the entire team at NBCU for having the vision (and the chutzpah) to pull it all off.

Above — it’s the original short that started it all. We self-produced this 5-minute tongue-in-cheek love letter to "Are You Afraid of the Dark".
Below — We then had the chance to expand this into a full pilot presentation with Tim & Eric’s production company Absolutely, and studio Super Deluxe.
TruTV then exhibited great taste and ordered “Ghost Story Club” to series. Head on over to the “Television” tab to watch all the episodes!
