This two part sketch (Part 2 here) was inspired by documentary interviews with real 1930s and 40s Jazz musicians that I had heard on National Public Radio. When we started shooting the sketch each of the other actors, in true Jazz fashion, improvised some of the funniest sequences in the sketch. Colin Rich masterfully edited together tons of non sequiturs, and that’s how we got ‘Jazz (A Musicology) the Sockumentary. “That’s Jazz.”

Randy’s Notebook is a series of video shorts that was a ton of fun to make. Each episode is a retelling of Randy’s day through the lens of his extremely powerful imagination and charismatic drawings, in first person. Randy (12 years old) is one of those characters who just seems to come to life right off the bat. I would love to make more of these.
The series was created by Dave Cain and myself. I provided the art and the Randy voiceover for the episodes. The shorts were originally produced for the sketch comedy group Hungry Zoo.
