A huge congratulations to @Rob Simone @Giorgio Zingone and @Troy Parker for joining the MasterCrash Comedy Film Lab!! David and the whole MasterCrash team are super excited to help you make your comedy short film. Today, I was at the Beverly Hills Film Festival, supporting a friend's short film. His film "Legend Has it" was brilliant. Well written and perfectly paced. The comedy was delivered completely deadpan. The script was tight, and the characters specific and well-defined. It was shown last in its block and was the clear audience favorite, with laughs filling the theater for the duration of the film. It left us all on a high, and we couldn't stop talking about how great it was. That's the power of a well-crafted script. It's no surprise that my friend who wrote that script has been studying David's scripts for decades. He's a script doctor who has read and fixed thousands of scripts. All the short films leading up to his film, however, made me feel a mixture of sadness and encouragement. Sadness, because so many of them could have been saved in the script phase with rewrites. Encouraged, because it made me realize how important the work we do here is, and how valuable the Comedy Film Lab is. There is no mentorship program out there like the MasterCrash Comedy Film Lab. No place where you can get access to a David Zucker level director to help you write and direct your comedy short film. Imagine spending 4 hours in a writers room with David, working on your script. And then having a whole production team producing your film. And having directors guiding you on set. And a professional post team, editing and mastering your film. We know that it's almost too good to be true. But it is true. And it's available to you, at least this one time. A few days ago, Rob asked me if we'd offer this again. I said that I don't know. I genuinely don't... The truth is that with David's upcoming film schedule, we may not be able to offer the Comedy Film Lab again. This may be a once in a lifetime opportunity that only a very few of you get to experience.

Hey guys, I was tasked to make a music video for a class of mine. Is this the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen, or is this entering the realm of more creepy than funny?

We're already getting your applications for #MasterCrash Comedy Film Lab, and your responses are truly filling my heart with joy! We've had so much fun these past weeks, fleshing out the idea for the lab, imagining what it'll be like on set with you, and plotting for all the things we can do with the films that are created. Now that we've shared the vision with you, it feels quite wonderful to see your excitement for it. We're going to have so much fun making comedy together! 😃 If you weren't at the Joke ER call, you have no idea what I'm talking about...

I’ve finished the Final Cut of my film and I’m very proud of it. As someone who is new to filmmaking, I don’t know what to do now. If you guys can give me some honest feedback on this film, that would be awesome. And for you people who have published your stuff, could I get some advise on where I could send this to(if you think this is sendable).

Hi Everyone, I'm Jordan Imiola, and I'm a comedy screenwriter. I just joined this group! I've got a new movie on Amazon titled "Love at First Spite," and I'm constantly writing comedy scripts. I love joke-pitching with others and look forward to meeting more comedy writers!
