DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Adults Go Wild Over Latest In Children’s Picture Book Series

I shot all of the B-Roll for this Today Now video by the Onion News Network.


Adults Go Wild Over Latest In Children’s Picture Book Series

WRITER & DIRECTOR - Kenny Loggins Pitch Videos

I wrote and directed this for Landline TV. The last song in the video gets stuck in my head quite often.

DIRECTOR & WRITER - Thankful for Terrible Things

Happy Thanksgiving. A few days late.

I wrote and directed this for my final show with UCB Theatre's Slow Burn.

DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Office Dead Pool

Here is a morbid one... in honor of Halloween.

Shooting through the Plexiglas was a pain, but the shot looks pretty sweet.

I shot this. Sarah Yorra directed. Chris Wilkes wrote. This is a UCB Comedy Original.

WRITER - Michael Moore Outbreak

I wrote this for my UCB Theatre Maude team.

DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Ominous Music Heard Throughout U.S. Sends Nation Into Panic

I shot a bunch of the field footage for this ONN video. It took forever to get that little kid to look up in the air.

EDITOR & DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Checkmates

I love this video. I wish every video I worked on was this good and as fun to make.

Let's also review the cast and crew. Ellie Kemper is now a regular on The Office. Sean Clements now writes for MTV's new sketch show Popzilla. Donald Glover co-stars in Community on NBC. Curtis Gwinn and Neil Casey had a great series on Adult Swim.

Who will be the next break out? It's either me or Will Hines.

DIRECTOR, PRODUCER, DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Horribly Injured Americans Against Obamacare

I love working with blood. I want to do it more.

WRITER - Meaningless Morning Greeting

This is a live performance of a sketch I wrote for my UCB Theatre Maude (sketch) team.

EDITOR - Ann Liv Young

THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR WORK. And, depending on how conservative your home life is, this may not be safe for your home.

REVEL IN has launched their website. I edited a few videos for these guys. Nice people and cool documentaries.

EDITOR & DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Meshugene Men

In honor of the season premiere of Mad Men I present Meshugene Men.

I shot and edited this promo for the Purim show, "The Shushan Channel" at 92Y Tribeca.

Features a couple famous (or soon to be famous) people like Amy Sedaris, Ellie Kemper (The Office), DC Pierson (Derrick Comedy), and others. Written by Sheryl Zohn and Rob Kutner of The Daily Show.

Mitch Magee directed. He's funny.

DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Google Opt Out Feature Lets Users Protect Privacy By Moving To Remote Village

Shot all of the "on site" bits of this one.

The place where we shot this had a secret office. You opened a door and it looked like a closet filled with old coats. But when you pushed the coats to the side you could enter a cozy little conference room.

SCRIPT SUPERVISOR & FOOTAGE COORDINATOR - U.S. Government Stages Fake Coup To Wipe Out National Debt

It was a lot of fun to watch these old guys stab and shoot each other during production.

DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Wig Awards

I shot this for UCB Comedy Originals.

I ate a slice of the pizza and ended up pulling a long grey wig hair from my mouth. It was gross, but I was hungry.

As a side note, I'll never shoot green screen in SD again. It has to be HD. The green (especially around the wigs) was impossible to key out in SD. I've shot green screen in HD and it is SO much easier to deal with in post and looks way better.

Written by Gil Ozeri and Gavin Speiller. Directed by Mitch Magee. Shot by Todd Bieber. Edited by Nate Dern. Visual Effects by Ed Mundy. Plus it's got an all star cast of very talented comedians.

EDITOR & (Additional) DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Urban Golf

This was the first thing I edited for GOOD Magazine. I think it turned out pretty well. It also features one of my favorite bands 31 Knots.

I did some minor shooting on this one. Just the golf course footage.

If anyone is ever going Urban Golfing in New York City, please invite me along.

DIRECTOR, DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY, & EDITOR - Domino's Crust Stuffed Crust

Domino's introduces it's new "crust stuffed crust" THE BREAD ZONE.

A few years ago I did a commercial for a local Domino's franchise in my hometown (Central Pennsylvania). The owner stiffed me $350.00. This is the closest I will come to payback.

Written by Geoff Garlock; Directed/Shot/Edited by Todd Bieber; Starring Eddie Brawly and Corey Johnson; Featuring Geoff Garlock

EDITOR & FOOTAGE DIRECTOR - Welcome to Yu Wan Mei

I edited this video for The Onion's "China Takeover" series.

I had a lot of experience editing terrible promotional videos so this was no stretch for me.

DIRECTOR & WRITER - American Apparel: Everyday Sexy

I wrote and directed this for UCB Comedy Originals.

This got a lot of buzz last week. Gawker, Huffinton Post, New York Magazine, Gothamist, Comedy Central, and a slew of other blogs picked it up. Nate Dern even got a nice interview in Heeb Magazine about it.

I owe a lot to Nate who stars as Dov Charney AND edited this. He's a very talented dude.

Starring Nate Dern, Will Hines, Pam Murphy, Emily Axford, and Will Storie. Produced by Will Hines and Anthony King. Edited by Nate Dern. Crew by Carmen Angelica and Mitch Magee. Music by Night Train to Terror.

DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY, FOOTAGE COORDINATOR - Obama Drastically Scales Back Goals For America After Visiting Denny's

I shot the customer and waitress interviews as well as the exterior of Denny's.

Watching one of these go from script to final cut is really interesting. I remember getting the script a few months ago, and it said "FOOTAGE NEED: Obama shaking hands with fat slobs in a Denny's. Obama looks depressed." (or something along those lines.) It was surprisingly easy to find.
