I regularly participate in the New York monthly screening series Channel 101 NY. Mostly I create commercials for fake sponsors. Here are some of the videos I’ve created for the screening series.

PILOTS

After shooting another new series of commercials for the February Channel 101 NY screening (I will post that next week after the screening) I convinced my wife and our friend Allison to shoot a pilot for Channel 101 with me. Knowing it’s a competitive month for 101 and that my sense of humor pretty much serves me and doesn’t always work for other people, we decided to just make what we wanted and thought would be funny and not invest too much in it. As expected Channel 101’s screening panel didn’t dig the pilot.

Here it is. I’m actually a little glad they didn’t go for it. I really don’t know what episode two would have been.
