My guest filmmaker Paul Ashton is a triple threat: writer, director, actor and I love his new film “This Isn’t Funny.” Click now, buy it on iTunes and then listen to this great chat with Paul. He also stars in Superlounge comedy director Daniel Sheppard’s new series of spots for GMC. Paul and I chat about getting a film made and distributed, our shared love of stand-up comedy, and how to take charge of one’s career.

Enjoy a few Mr. Sheppard’s spots, starring Paul as spokesman, seen here without his native Aussie accent.

Have you bought your new, swanky IOM iPhone case from IOM Cases? Thank you for sponsoring the show.

What a treat to sit down and chat with Director Andrew Laurich. The man makes inventive music videos, killer commercials and his latest short film, “A Reasonable Request” has been ripping up the festival circuit. Discover how Andrew started in the vault making reels, then shot second unit with Stacy Peralta in Alaska, which then lead to a gig at the helm.

Here’s the short, but do not watch at work or with the kiddies. Kudos to my friend, comedian Hersh Rephun for knowing how well Andrew and I would hit it off.

My Commercial Directing Bootcamp is in less than two weeks. Sign up to learn my tricks. Just added Cinematographer Julian Whatley and Producer Tom Lowe as special guests. If you’ve heard them on the show, you know how awesome it shall be. And I rarely use the word awesome.

This episode is 77 minutes, give or take. Please like the show on iTunes.

thanks,

In high school, Dan Sheppard knew he wanted to direct funny tv commercials for a living. Today, he is a working comedy director in-demand, churning out funny spots. Listen to his plan that turned the dream into a reality. Dan is surely one to watch, and I love his stuff.

Below is one of my favorite Dan Sheppard spots for Better Oats, the behind-the-scenes of a classic “Old Spice” by Tom Kuntz, and a must-see, well-choreographed spot by Superlounge helmer Joe Schaak for Minnesota Tourism.
