And in keeping with my current trend of directing gay music videos, another for the song “Not Ready” by hip-hop rapper/producer soce the elemental wizard, who was nominated at this year’s OUTMusic Awards for Best Producer.

BONUS UPDATE: Just found out that the NFL Writers’ Room: Super Bowl Edition sketch that I shot and edited for Atom.com/Comedy Central was selected for TV Guide’s Web Hot List!

Washington vs Lincoln: The debate gets complicated. Directed by me for Better Than The Machine this past week. HAPPY PRESIDENTS’ DAY, Y’ALL!

New webseries idea/pitch piece, featuring & created by the incomparably hilarious Meg DeFrancesco & Scott Lawrie of “The Colbert Report”, directed & edited by me.

Watch Meg & Scott fix New Yorkers’ problems…kinda…

Shot and edited this original short for Atom.com this past week in a matter of two and half days. A delightful continuation of the NFL Writers Room webseries on ESPN.com. Written by Neil Janowitz and Scott Rogowsky. Produced by Hilary Siegel.

UPDATE - 2/3/10: Vid’s featured on front page of ComedyCentral.com today. Aces!

It’s also cool because it features 7-year-olds breakdancing in slo-mo. But that’s obvious.

I’m very grateful for all of the opportunities I’ve had, people I’ve worked with, and the chances they’ve taken with me. And I’m pretty damn excited for some of the projects I’m working on in 2010. But first, here’s a quick look back:

- “Ode To Kulele” debuted on MTV’s “Logo” channel in April.
- “Date An Asian” featured on Buzzfeed.com (et al.) and gets 150,000 hits in first week!
- TWO videos are “Top Featured” on youtube.com/comedy in ONE MONTH.
- “Ode To Kulele” picked as Top 10 Videos of 2009 on “The Click List” (rank: #10)

And in addition, I directed:
- 3 Music Videos.
- 18 Sketches with Better Than The Machine.
- an 11 episode short series, plus 1 half-hour short thru 826NYC.
- 3 Webseries Pilots.
- 8 Music Promos & Live Performances.
- 7 Web Commericals, including 4 spec for “Jim Beam”.
- 4 Miscellaneous Short Films.
- and 7 Original Scenes-from-scratch for actor clients in the first three months.

It’s been a great year. Let’s get rocking, 2010. You and me have a lot to get busy on. Grab your boots.

Featuring THREE brand-new Christmas classics, “Yule Kulele” will be a new hit in your digital stereo - and features a whole lot of kazoo, plenty of sass, and for the first time ever: banjo. Tell your friends, give them away as presents (the records that is - not your friends), and enjoy!

Listen to it with your family, and please copy and share with your friends. It’s my holiday gift to you. Click here to download a .zip file of the entire album, and click here or on the music tab to your left to hear and download all FOUR previous Christmas ukulele records for free. Enjoy!

Coming later this week: the internet release of a brand-new 2009 5th annual Ukulele Christmas album - “Yule Kulele”.

Featuring new original songs, a reworking of “The 12 Days of Christmas” (with 13 added days!), and LOTS more kazoo. Watch your inbox, and check back here later this week.

I’m very proud of directing this one and co-writing very quickly it with the incomparable Reid Levin. And Christina and Reid are both fabulous in it. Happy Holidays, everyone!

The Top 10 of 2009 special edition of “The Click List” is airing this Friday night at Midnight, and in rotation all week. Thanks so much to everyone who voted (including Bob Burdick who, I’m told by a witness, was voting on five different computers and two blackberries at the same time).

We couldn’t have done it without you and the many fans who supported this video by an unsigned artist, keeping it on the air ALL YEAR in regular rotation since April, and voting it as one of the Top 10 viewer favorites of the year.
