PITtv team, TSPR presents: The Taste of Coffee.
An improvised short about a man reluctantly sharing his apartment with his live-in girlfriend and the ghost of her last boyfriend.
Please watch this short that I made with Phil Magbitang, Phil Casale and Gaby Dunn. We improvised it over the course of a single day, and it was a lot of fun to make. The performances have a nice, natural feel that I enjoy, and I’m happy with how the lone special effect in it came out.
I don’t want to spoil anything, so you’ll have to watch this to see for yourself.
We shot this in September, and ended up with about 4 1/2 hours worth of material. I’d promised my PITtv team that I’d get it down to under 5 minutes, so it took a very long time to complete. There’s also a lot of funny stuff that I couldn’t include. But enjoy this!

Louis C.K. Plays a Serious Joke on TV - Media Equation - NYTimes.com
Interesting article. I’d love to figure out how to do this on a smaller scale. As I go around pitching a TV show I want to produce, it’d be awesome to figure out how to cut out the need for access to studios and networks. But honestly, I’m not any kind of name. So how to attract an audience to a DIY, low-budget show that would only be broadcast on the web?
When I did 1,001 Online Dates, it worked well for a little while. We got major press on Gawker and Slant Magazine, but after that, as there was no new coverage, the viewership fell off kind of frighteningly quickly.
Seriously, if anyone has any brilliant ideas, I’m totally happy to listen.

A wonderful essay by a writer for the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. Whenever someone asks me why I live in New York instead of L.A., I’m simply going to send them this link.
