I'm a robot movie producer.

PIC - Produce with daddy issues.

My Honda Insight campaign is UP. And some electro.

Well hello all my friends out there all over the place.

As had been discussed in previous emails, I recently traveled across this great country shooting a new web-campaign for Honda's new Prius-killer, the Insight. We covered 3,000 miles shooting the whole way and man was it fun. I blogged, shot photos, and twittered the whole way too.

(you can find that content @ the top of the "Meet the Teams" page. i am very proud of it).

so here it is - my adventures across country. 6 episodes, each one's about 2 mins.

AND

The night will also feature sets by Ahmed Ahmed (Vice Vaugn's Wild West Comedy Tour), Bret Ernst (Weeds), Iliza Shlesinger (Last Comic Standing) and Kate Micucci (Scrubs). This lineup will definitely leave you laughing and for a great cause at that. We hope to see you there!

Buy your tickets online now before they sell out for $10, $20 or $50 and/or you can get them at the door! Since proceeds benefit Project Angel Food, we've decided to leave it up to you to choose how much you wanted to give.
