I have been an on-again-off-again fan of Ze Frank since his debut with the now classic “how to dance properly“, that god and everybody has seen by now. I used to work at Macromedia, back in the day so anything Flash based tended to float by our desks. Since then I would catch up on his work now and again and most recently saw him open for one of the Macromedia (now Adobe) MAX conferences. Good times.

Ze Frank is featured in a short pilot called “The Remnants” and seeing his name made me check it out. You should too…

The pilot for The Remnants, written and directed by John August. Starring Justine Bateman, Michael Cassidy, Ben Falcone, Ze Frank, Ernie Hudson, and Amanda Walsh. It was shot during the WGA strike in February 2008, using the SAG internet agreement.

The project is currently in development with 60Frames in association with NBC/U, so it could in theory become a series at some point. Either way, we had a good time making it.

There is something about a clown… a horrible horrible something.  I don’t like them, I haven’t since Poltergeist.  Or maybe it was my terrible balloon phobia until I was 10.  Probably both.  But now thanks to Tim and Eric’s Awesome Show, Great Job! I can care for a child clown from Steve Mahanahan’s Child Clown Outlet.

I love Tim and Eric.  Its odd, its creepy… it just like watching Access TV back in college late at night.  Half the time I want to laugh out loud, the other half I am confused and horrified at the trainwreck I am watching. Good, good stuff.
