Today is one of my writing days, so I have some time to share some great film news!

1. Meep - We just filmed my third film “Meep” this weekend. The footage looks good and we hope to have it out in a month or two for you guys to see. I’m going to try putting it in a festival before that.

2. Floor Drawer - This is my fourth film, we hope to film it on July 3rd. More details as this shapes up.

3. Watch Films - It takes awhile for projects to get to the internet because they go through festivals first. However, I do try to release shorter projects online for everyone. You can see the projects that are released here:

Cheater Series - a new segment will be posted for the next three weeks, culminating with a post of the complete film if you want to watch it without any breaks. The final film has the complete credits for everyone involved with the production.

Don’t Feed the Yuppies - I’ve already posted about this one, but here is the link again if you haven’t seen it.

4. Help Out - You can support the films in the following ways:

• Vote “Funny” when you see each film (Funny button is on the right under the video).
• Forward the link to the video to your friends and ask them to watch and vote “Funny” too.
• If you have a FunnyorDie account, please subscribe to my page and leave comments on the videos.

More news later!

We just finished editing “The Cheater.” It runs about ten minutes. I’m hoping it’ll be appearing in a festival soon, but we’ll see.

It’s a non-traditional short in terms of structure. More on this film when I have the press release and all that jazz.

Look for me at WonderCon. I’ll be wandering around interviewing people in the press rooms and also out on the floor.
