Here’s a clip of david from the most recent q&a at Netflix is a Joke festival in LA. On one of the recent joke ER calls we talked about trusting your material enough that you don’t wink at the audience. Here’s a perfect example of what that looks like in practice. David practicing what he preaches. David never winks or acknowledges that he has even said anything funny. As a result, the jokes land harder and funnier. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYYNxCWPQ7Z/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

We had another great Naked Comedy call with the writers and director of Legend Has It. We talked about making a short film as a way to raise money for a feature, and what it takes to claim the title “professional writer.” If you were on the call, what was your biggest takeaway? For me, it was the concept David introduced that the director has to be the dumbest guy in the room. Brilliant!

During the dawn of self grandiosity. Hi, I’m JB, I really like movies. I have since I was about 8. I wanted to make movies and even went to college for it (probably forgotten most of the technicals by now). Then I talked myself out of it until 3 years ago. I have since written and directed some short films and narrative commercials worked with some seedy filmmakers and some great ones. I am at a point where I want to film a feature, so I began writing a script for a feature, a musical comedy. Knowing now that it needs to hit a broader audience, I arrive at your doorstep for information and direction from a group of people that admire the man that is responsible for my favorite films. (don’t worry, I’m not a fanboy, per se) anywho, my wife and I moved to Wisconsin in 2009 to be closer to family in their aging years. My wife was doing some acting and screenwriting in LA while I was slinging records (not sure what the kids call them now) for Warner Bros. Since then she and I have worked on a number of artistic projects, she started a community theater group and is honing a proof of concept script for a Hallmark Style Rom Com. I am here to be a student and learn all I can. Thank you for allowing me this opportunity.

Hi, everyone. I've been working on script called "THE FLOOR IS LAVA" it is a spoof on some volcano/distaster films. I wanted to get your input on this. I'm open to whatever you say. I've been booed off stage numerous times so I can handle it. @Ellie Shoja @David Zucker Let me set this up so you know what's going one. We are almost to ACT 2 on this. Antagonists Bob is a wealthy hotel manager that has hedgefunds invested in this oasis he hired Protaganist Hank to drill on the island and find oil. Earlier they did find oil and were successful. The island has an active volcano and just erupted. The lava is coming in the direction of the hotel, the LAVA is the engine. The goal is to get to safety. Hank recently found out that his men that worked under him drilling oil all died from the lava. At the hotel lobby BOB AND HANK argue. Take it from here. (sidenote I have dyslexia so if you see a sentence incomplete or grammar incorrect that's why) READ THIS STRAIGHT no JERRY LEWIS. PLEASE POINT OUT ANY FLAWS

The reschedule has finally happened for TOMORROW May 7th at 12:30pm. Who's going to be there?? We're interviewing the writers and directors of the latest indie film making waves through the festival scene, Legend Has It. This will be a great conversation of how the same comedy elements work in today's age, and how to direct action in comedy. Fun fact: the director is also in stunts and this helped him with directing action.
