I just found one of my favorite family photos on my old computer at my dad’s house.
My brother, our old dog, and a giant zuchinni, 1993.
One of my all-time least favorite things my dad does.
Calls my grandparents without telling me, then shoves the phone in my face while it’s ringing and says “TALK TO YOUR GRANDPARENTS”
It makes it a little hard to for you to sound like you have your life together with only three seconds of mental prep time.
After eating two lunches-
- My dad: Do you want to go get Cuban sandwiches?
- Me: A third course? I couldn't possibly...
- My dad: You couldn't possibly say no?
Web Site Story, written and directed by me. A tribute to my three big loves: film, theater, and the internet. Also produced by Eva and shot by Vince with a huge and talented cast. Digg it.
Jeff Rubin, king of puns, thought of the title. The opening Google Maps shots are analogous with the rooftop shots that open the “West Side Story” movie. ”The Skateboard Escape” from Back to the Future is actually on Hulu. eHarmony recently opened up a sister site for gays called Compatible Partners, but still refuses to accept gays into eHarmony because of its Christian backing.
The music was done by Carl Sondrol, who had legit trumpeters visit his Chicago recording studio, while the singing was recorded here in New York by Morgan Whirledge. In most cases, it’s the actual actors doing the singing.
All the interiors were shot in studio and all the exteriors on very cold rooftops in Williamsburg. ”The Net Song” was done using a rotating platform that Vince and our PM Bennett thought of day-of. ”Twitter” and “Pandora” were choreographed by Celia Rowlson-Hall.
The last scene, “Evite,” was shot until 6am. We used a scissor lift to get those epic crane shots. Around 4am, Bennett said “I wanted to go home, but then I saw the shot, and now I don’t care how long we’re here.”
My team made this video over two days, towards the end of an eight-day shoot block in March. We had so many great people on this one- thank you all again for so, so much long hour, freezing cold hard work!

John Smith, age 8, in an Empire State Building halloween costume.
From the This American Life TV show John Smith episode.
My bro just got in to the Culinary Institute of America.
Soon he’ll be a professional wine snob.
High five!
Alright, I'm sick of being left out of every joke.
I’m going to make a point of finally seeing Ghostbusters.
Does anyone want to watch it with me?
Or let me borrow it, at least?
