The Fuplers: Thalad Drething

The Fuplers struggle with a week of healthy eating.   I've made faces in front of the bathroom mirror my whole life.  It wasn't until recently that I realized... not everyone does that.  So one morning as I was talking to myself in Mr. Fupler's voice, I decided to get him ...

Rules of the Floss

Advice on keeping your relationship healthy and happy in the bathroom. YouTube superstar HappySlip contacted me saying she was coming to L.A. on business, and asked if I wanted to shoot something.  Well, that was a no-brainer.  But what?  I dug in the drawer for an old idea.  I have to ...

To Invite in L.A.

I have to admit this short was inspired by my own experience (although it wasn't so extreme). I auditioned Dan DeAngelo at a public park, where on-lookers wondered why he was screaming and rolling on the ground. Good times.

You Tube in 1985 (A Collab Video)

It's amazing YouTube survived so many years without the internet. Garnering 600,000 views in one week, it's safe to say this video went viral.  The clip was a collaborative effort, with other YouTube members sending me their clips digitally.  It was an interesting experiment, and I was thankful that BeanerLaRue, XgobobeanX and Nalts shot such great ...

Tenth

Tenth was born out of an overwhelming sense of sadness and loss. It's one of the few times I've been compelled to channel such emotions through filmmaking. The short was selected by Cameron Crowe, Danny Devito, Bono, Annette Benning and Mike Myers as a winner of Kevin Spacey's Triggerstreet.com film ...

I Love Klondikes

I had fun making this ad for Klondike Bar, although dealing with the actors wasn't easy. More episodes of "The Fuplers" might be in the works, especially if I can get another brand to sponsor it.

Never Ignore a Nerd

I didn't beat him up. I didn't pick on him. I just never acknowledged the kid who would become one of the richest men in the world. Some folks on YouTube seemed to get really upset at me about this story. I guess it's a sensitive subject. If only they knew ...

Abusive Parental Guidance Suggested

Made in college, this footage was originally shot to be the opening of a horror film. But when the project fell apart, I slapped on some titles and twisted it into this mock-PSA. It actually became an award winner, and has played all over the country.

Lifeguard Glory

This clip won second place in a national video contest from State Farm Insurance. I just missed getting the $20,000 top prize, but the all-expenses trip the the Final Four sure wasn't bad. And if you're wondering, I chose to save the boy.

The Baloney Train

I'm one of those people who like to rack up life experiences.  Unfortunately, sometimes those experiences aren't always pleasant.  Traversing America on our 200 year-old railway system was amazing, but it's safe to say I won't be doing that again. There are actually a few other interesting details from this trip ...
