Stand-up comedian Maz Jobrani tells us how he brought his character Jimmy Vestvood to the big screen. Maz co-wrote, produced and stars in his hilarious film “Jimmy Vestvood: Amerikan Hero”, and took it to theaters everywhere. We chat about how the limitations of a small budget can fuel creative solutions, as well as shaping one’s own destiny.

Maz also offers an insightful tour of Iran’s colorful history, which I find fascinating. Buy “Jimmy Vestvood: Amerikan Hero” today and enjoy. It’s all laughs. Shout out to Jonathan Kesselman, the film’s director, for the hook up.Support indie film.

Sitting down with Director Jonathan Kesselman was like reuniting with a cousin I’d never met. I’d seen his first film, The Hebrew Hammer, now we talk about his new film “Jimmy Vestvood: Amerikan Hero” starring comedian Maz Jobrani. Maz is hysterical in the clubs, on his specials, so I knew the film would be laugh out loud too.

We chat about developing the film, working with actors who wrote the script they star in, and oh, so much more. Enjoy the trailer, then see the movie.

Chicago’s Commercial Directing Bootcamp will sell out. Sign up now and I’ll see you in Chicago August 13th, 2016.

Thanks,

Jordan
