My life so far has been great, like double-underlined and bolded great. Had a great high school experience with fun extracurriculars and lots of time on the lacrosse field. Had the opportunity to go to a Service Academy and experience all of that. Got to live in Taiwan for two years and learn Chinese (freaking CHINESE). Got to marry a smoking hot babe that loves my guts. Have a great job that will pay the bills until I decide I don’t want it to pay the bills. And on top of that, I have the world’s two funniest dogs. But I feel bad that I’m still not satisfied.
When I hear about friends doing great things I am genuinely happy for them, excited even. But then, in quiet moments, I’ll picture being there with them, doing great things. That’s why when Jordan and Mike told me they were going for it and moving to Hollywood to chase their dreams, I had such mixed feelings. I thought it was awesome that they were doing it, and I was confident that they could find their spot out there, but what I really wanted was to go with them. And while I can’t drop everything and go chase dreams, I have found a way to participate: by making a documentary about it.
‘How Do Be Funny?’ will be a first of its kind documentary, highlighting two of the funniest people I know as they transition from normal life to the life of a DO-er (i.e. someone who does). But I’m not making it for them, and I’m not making it for all the film festival awards it will win (it’ll probably win all of them…). I’m making this film because I really wanted to experience the ride, try and get high off of it, and DO something. And if you want, you can ride along with us.-Curtis
