 Over the last four years, I've exhausted all the ways I can gush about how proud I am of this community of Alaska filmmakers and how gratifying it is to co-organize the 5-Day Film Royal. So I'm just going to let the annual behind-the-scenes documentary do the heavy lifting. Thanks to everyone who made a film, and to everyone who came out to watch them. Keep making movies, and we'll see you at the 24-Hour Film Royal in April.

 Things have been pretty quiet, but I'm excited to announce that a collaboration with the Anchorage Press to produce some really cool content is in the works. More details are coming in the weeks ahead, so stay tuned!
 After a yearlong hiatus, I'm excited to announce that it's once again time to enroll in the 4th annual Summer School for Drunks comedy show! Take a break from the heat, buy your teachers a round, and prepare for some hands-on learning. If you've ever thought about going back to school, this is your chance!

 After four years of running the 24-Hour Film Royal, you'd think that we'd have run out of gushy things to say. But this year is different. This year the competition had more brand new teams sign up and make a movie than before. That means more artists feel encouraged and that our community is growing, and that has always been the purpose of this events. As always, enjoy the annual behind-the-scenes documentary of this year's teams, and we can wait to work with all of you again soon.
 Career update! I was just brought on board as a staff writer for my alma mater, so follow me there for new weekly stories!
 The 2nd annual Planned Parenthood Comedy Benefit Show was another success! We sold out two shows and raised over $6,500! That’s more than double last year’s show! Oh yeah, and we got to perform with Anchorage’s very own Dan Mintz a.k.a. Tina from Bob’s Burgers!
 Check out this Q&A in the Anchorage Press where I – a local not-famous comedian – interview Dan Mintz (a.k.a. Tina Belcher from Bob’s Burgers) – an Anchorage comedian who actually made it out and is famous. Grab a copy or read it online by clicking on the photo above.
 After last year's surprisingly successful event where we raised nearly $3,000, I'm incredibly excited to be organizing another Planned Parenthood Comedy Benefit Show with some of my favorite people! This year we've got another Alaska-grown line-up headlined by Anchorage's own Dan Mintz, the voice of Tina Belcher on Bob's Burgers! Click on the poster for the Facebook event page.
 I'm excited to be working with Hard Rock Cafe to produce a whole year's worth of First Friday Comedy Showcases! Not only that, but these shows placed 3rd in the 2017 Anchorage Press Picks for Best First Friday Venue/Event, and that's after doing only a handful of them! Click on the poster for the Facebook event page and come see what all the hype is about. Together maybe we can get 1st place in 2018!
 This year marked a lot of change with the Quick Freeze Film Competition growing to become the 5-Day Film Royal. One thing that hasn't changed is how much I love organizing this event with such wonderful friends and getting to put together the annual behind-the-scenes documentary. Visiting the teams and watching them work is always inspiring and a great reminder of what I love about being a filmmaker. Congratulations to all the participants, both old and new. I can't wait to work with you all again! Click the image for the behind-the-scenes video.
