[Frisbee Day]
 
     I deal with problems like this on a daily basis. Since I'm an artist, I get to lash out on whoever in whatever ways I feel is best. In this piece, I take my aggression for Arthur's lack of exercise and translate into a twist piece of film that will turn any un-motivated slave into a dominating slave general.

     When the script for this piece was first completed, I didn't even attempt to edit it. I shredded the paper with my own teeth, severely cutting my gums in the process. I was rushed to the hospital by myself, where I sat in the waiting room, waiting for someone to fix my gums.

      With little to do except wait, I decided it was back to the basics. To get this film in shape, I would need to re-discover what the film meant to me and what about other films I hated so that I would not only make a film that meant a lot to me, but it wouldn't be anything like all of the films I hated.

       I feel that I not only accomplished everything I wanted to accomplish, but I also did a lot of other things. All of them good, too.

[New House Pool Party]
 
     This is the long awaited sequel to the highly praised "New Apartment" video which, fun fact, was the very first video ever produced for The Terp Show.

      I always knew that the moment the Austin Apartment Goddesses floated me out of that shit ass shit hole shit shit apartment that I would have to move somewhere else. But the Austin Clock Kings were working against me. I had three days in between my arrival from the Phoenix and Chicago Improv Festivals and the end of the month. I had to work fast.

      The first place that we saw, we demanded to sign the lease immediately. We refused to look at the rest of the house. It's a good thing we didn't, either. Because we soon discovered the rotten water-less gunk-filled pool in the backyard. We knew right then that in order to sign the lease we would have to put water in the pool and remove the gunk ourselves. So we called the landlord, told her we changed our minds, and signed the lease.

       Special note: This film was shot at two different times.

[Lost in the Woods]
       My first sort-of-real television endeavor was a sketch comedy show entitled "Lost in the Woods." It was produced for no money and with mediocre equipment and was broadcasted on LSU's on-campus Tiger Television for a couple of seasons. After a year of hard work resulted in many fun things across the school but not a single penny for production expenses, we pulled our show off the air before we lost our rights to it. Its new home was on our website, Studio8.net. where they lived happy lives.

       You can buy a DVD of all the best sketches from the first three seasons in the Studio 8 Store. The sketches below are, surprise surprise, only the ones featuring me since I'm a maniac. You can view all of the others as well as many new and improved ones that the Los Angeles Studio 8 guys have been working on right here. And you can view the massive reunion special of Lost in the Woods sometime in the future on the moon.
