For three years, I rented theaters in NYC to host midnight screenings of Tommy Wiseau’s The Room. Selling out almost every month, a highlight for me was producing a 20-minute pre-show of original shorts, sketches, and stand-up comedy featuring some of my favorite comics, like David Wain, David Cross, H. Jon Benjamin, and Wiseau himself. Usually screening in the 450-seat main theater at Village East Cinema, we eventually sold out all 1,200 seats at New York’s legendary Zeigfeld Theater, making The Room one of the last three films to do so before its closure in 2016—the other two were both Star Wars.

As creative director for Jeff’s 2020 campaign for town judge of Ossining, New York, I produced several commercial spots that helped unseat an 8-year incumbent. Starting in February 2020, the campaign faced the unique challenge of running during a global pandemic. I’m proud of its success, and this experience has sparked my interest in taking on more political projects.

In 2013, during Banksy’s month-long New York residency, he secretly sold original signed prints for $60 each in a park stall. A week later, artists Dave Circirelli, Lance Pilgrim, and I created a viral video selling counterfeit “FAKE BANKY” prints, each accompanied by a legally notarized “Certificate of Inauthenticity.”
