How I’m working on my film
I’m getting ready to launch my Kickstarter campaign for the Aaron Cohens. This morning, I realized I spend very little time sharing what has influenced me during the writing and production process. So here are a handful of creative products that are influencing me.
- Before I was 20, 4 films had a huge influence on how my sense of humor developed. You should check them all out: Annie Hall, This is Spinal Tap, and Sherman’s March, and Swimming to Cambodia.
- Here are some others worth considering as well as they pop into my mind: Manhattan, Better off Dead, Delirious, Raw, Life of Brian. Richard Lewis concerts.
- Philip Roth — in particular The CounterLife.
- I go the movies some mostly to watch cinematography. Lately I’ve loved Tree of Life and Tower Heist.
- I listen to a huge number of Podcasts. I’m working my way through WTF by the very talented comedy nerd, historian and comic Marc Maron. In particular, I’ve been blown away by Andrew Dice Clay, Norm MacDonald, Chris Rock, Judd Apatow, and Richard Lewis. Long way to go though. I’m learning a lot about the comedy craft. See all the stuff here.
- Aaron Cohens influence me a lot. In particular, I work closely with AFC and Chris.
- Kickstarter has broadly influenced me. I don’t support as many projects as I would like, but probably up to about 6 or 8.
- I think this writer Jonathan Tropper is pretty smart. You should check him out.
I’ll add more to list as it evolves.
