Funny You Never Knew
Funny You Never Knew is playing in Glasgow at the GFT on July 3rd! To all my Scottish friends: Don't miss out!! I will be there and can't wait to see you all! There'll be a Q&A with myself and editor Colin Goudie (Star Wars: Rogue One) so it's going to be a fun night. You can get tickets here:https://glasgowfilm.org/sho…/funny-you-never-knew-qanda-nc-5
Yes - another award! My co-editor, Colin Goudie (Star Wars: Rogue One) and I won the award for "Outstanding Achievement in Filmmaking: Editing (Documentary) for "Funny You Never Knew."
The award stands as a marker to what was an amazing experience getting to work with Colin again. Those of you who know Colin, or have worked with him, will be nodding in agreement here because Colin is just one of those rare human beings who brings all of himself to a project and cares as much about you as person as he does about the film he's working on.
I’ve included some photos from our time at the Newport Beach Film Festival. It was a fantastic Film Festival and we had an absolute ball with both our premiere and repeat screenings getting sold out and each having a waiting list!
Highlight for me, personally, however, was driving Fred Willard and Bill Hayes home after our premiere screening and hearing some amazing stories about how Fred ended up doing the cult classic “Spinal Tap” and the amazing people they’ve both worked with over the years. So cool!

After our win at Garden State for Best Documentary Feature Film this award for “Best Director of a Feature Film” at the Chicago Comedy Film Festival is a great honor. Thank you Chicago! We’re in Houston this week screening at the 52nd annual Worldfest Houston International Film Festival and we’ve been nominated here also so we’ll see what happens!
One of the many joys of being in the Chicago Comedy Film Festival was that the film reviewer Danielle Solzman saw our film and wrote a review. You can read it here: http://www.solzyatthemovies.com/2019/04/06/chicago-comedy-2019-funny-you-never-knew/
Had the delightful pleasure of being interviewed on Radio by the lovely Patti Vasquez of Chicago’s WGN. You can hear it here:

As we are coming toward the end of easily the most challenging project in my career I thought it was fitting to include some behind the scenes photos from our last day of shooting on "Funny You Never Knew" with Kevin Pollak and Fred Willard in Los Angeles. The cinematographer pictured below is the talented and lovely Nancy Schreiber, A.S.C and the location was the home of Emmy-award winning comedy writer Jerry Belson (Dick Van Dyke Show, Tracy Ullman Show) who is sadly no longer with us.
We have some remaining bits of the licensing process to complete after which we will, at last, be able to go into the final sound mix and picture grade. Will keep you posted...
