  GOODCHILD: THE FORGOTTEN MUSE OF CHILDREN’S LITERATURE(2011) Directed this short film last January that I wrote with Tom Berlangero (who plays ‘Goodchild’) for our first installment of CHURCH, a live monthly variety show we hold with our friends in Brooklyn. I play ‘Dr. Robert Berth, Goodchild Biographer.’

  PRETTY COOL PROFESSOR                                                (2010) Wrote this send up of college life with Ali Genoa & Matt Wanders, who star. I directed & edited, and portrayed the tragic supporting character, ‘Angelo.’ The film won Best Picture at the 2010 Northeastern University Campus Moviefest, then became a finalist at the TriBeCa Film Festival CMF Regional where it was awarded “Funniest Moment.” In the national competition, Ali was nominated for “Best Actress.” 

  RED SEINFELD, TECH DAD 

  Following years delighting local readers with entertaining musings on culture, baseball and the humorous ups and downs of singles fatherhood, 54-year-old Environmental Science teacher and volunteer ‘citizen-columnist’ Red Seinfeld brings his distinctive brand of middle-aged oblivion to the illusive world of Home Computers, e-Mail & the World Wide Inter-Net. http://redseinfeld.blogspot.com/

  I write the articles linked above and sometimes perform them live. Gabel D’Amico, Tom Berlangero & Max Azzarello sometimes provide much needed punching up. 

  POEM(2011) Made this with Ali Genoa, who stars, for our monthly variety show CHURCH. I shot/edited & appear for a second as ‘Handsomely Disheveled Man-On-Street Asking For Time.”

  FAC$ELIFT ENTERTAINMENT(2010) An episode of Gordon’s daily youtube series, GORDON EVERYDAY, playing off of his sudden surge in youtube popularity. Featuring Gabe D’Amico and myself as Brunch Larson & Terry Facse, genius career managers of famed internet personalities.

  MR. ICE(2010) Another ep of GORDON EVERYDAY I helped make. Featuring Max Azzarello as ‘Sickly Second Cousin’ and myself as ‘Worried Second Cousin of Sickly Boy Wearing Shades.’

  LONG ISLAND VROOM VROOM(2007) A segment created for our show parodying Long Island public access, I’M ON PUBLIC ACCESS! Featuring Gabe D’Amico as ‘Ant,’ Tom Berlangero as ‘Crazy Ryan’, and myself as ‘Gio.’ Expect new ‘episodes’ of these segments in 2012!

  NATURE TRAIL WITH GENE CIAMPI(2007) Another public access parody featured on I’M ON PUBLIC ACCESS! This one was based on something Gabe discovered on PA late one night. That’s Gabe narrating behind the camera, and I cut it up.

  AUDITION(2006) This was my freshman thesis film my first year at SVA. Clearly had much to learn in the production value department, but the writing is still some of my favorite. I play casting coordinator, Frank Lambert. “Three actresses compete for a coveted role in the new film by 13 year old director, Billy Neubauer (Director of Planet of the Apes 2: Quit the Monkey Business).” 

  SEAN.(2005) For my senior project in High School, I made a feature length movie called SEAN about people trying to stop a new word from entering Webster’s Dictionary. You can watch clips here, or hit me up for a DVD copy. It’ll all be online someday…
