Veteran comedy director Rick Friedberg has written a book you must buy. You learn and laugh as this “rule book” for success tells you, as the title says, how to survive the Hollywood machine. It’s aptly called “Hollywood War Stories: How To Survive In The Trenches” and I love it.

We chat comedy, managing a career, and a long-lost project we shared together and so much more. Buy the book on Amazon, click here or off www.rickfriedberg.com today!

Dynamite directing duo Jeff & Pete, aka Jeff Gonick and Peter Novosel, are following their dreams by leaving their cushy advertising agency jobs as creatives to become helmers of comedy commercials. And boy are they good. Landing at top shoppe Caviar, they’ve helmed funny stuff for Dr. Pepper, SunTrust and more. Plus their fun fellows.

After their origin story, we chat about their process and how they love the treatment phase of pitching. (Huh?) And collaboration, not just with each other but with the crew, agency and client, seems to be their mantra. Please check out their comedy spots, especially the American Eagle work that makes me drool with envy.

Thanks,

Jordan
