My number one rule is that I want to surprise and delight the audience. I want to draw you in and take you on a ride. I want you to feel seen in the characters, to feel their hopes and pain and in the end, see yourself and the world in a new way.
Comedy works by holding a mirror up to our selves and not being afraid to laugh. The more specific the story and characters, the more real it feels and the more universal it becomes. What I’m saying is I love eavesdropping. Sorry (not sorry).
I don’t take myself seriously (I’m a dad), but I take making comedy very seriously. It takes hard work to make it look effortless, and I create an environment on set that lets actors feel safe to play. That’s when the magic happens.
Not that you asked...
