10 Years, Man… 10 Years!

Hi, everybody.  Jason Klamm, here.  As you may or may not know, 2013 marks an ENTIRE DECADE since StolenDress Entertainment became the banner under which I and my friends do things.  It started out as a very green-looking (literally, I love green) website that hosted a review of the film “A Mighty Wind.”  One year later I started my film Looking Forward with a team of friends and people I’d never met before.  Not to be braggy, I’d like to share the things I’ve done since making stuff under this name.

We already had one of the world’s first viral videos (a parody of an earlier viral video, appropriately enough), but we were well on our way to at least placing our toe in the exponentially-growing Internet video pool.  In 2005 we started our webseries Inform Nation.  Thinking that Richard Belzer’s to-be-unrealized “Comedy Express TV” channel would distribute us, we went forward with three more episodes at a time when webseries were barely a thing and when it took way too look to complete them.  That said, I’m still proud of those, for the most part.

While Looking Forward continue to develop, unravel and become a number of not-a-film things (including a book), we created a couple of other Internet oddities (such as a film in which Conan O’Brien seduces a man dressed as a manatee) and became involved in an award-winning documentary about 9/11 that managed to steer away from conspiracy theory entirely, something I’m very proud of.  

In 2008, I started another film - my own documentary - Lords of Soaptown, which is nearing completion at the moment.  This got me and the company involved with a number of amazing interviewees, one of whom made it possible to write a pilot and a horror feature film for Jamie Kennedy.  At the same time, I started writing my second book, a satirical history of the Internet.

StolenDress’s next big project came in the form of a podcast, which has given me the chance to talk to a number of my heroes and become closer to people I thought I knew through comedy.  In 2012, Looking Forward was completed, wrapping up my longest project, which ended up being just as personal as it was ridiculous.

As we near completion on Lords of Soaptown, I wanted to thank all of the people who’ve given their precious time - including Ryan Penington, Ray Nowosielski, Ben Eshagpoor, Brett Schlank, Jen Smith and Dan Gomiller - and their money, in the case of Soaptown, for helping me realize my dream of making things that I find funny.

sarapocock: Here is a fun thing in which I got to participate!  The very lovely Jason Klamm was kind enough to invite me onto his fantastic podcast Comedy on Vinyl where, normally, people way more funny and articulate than I am talk about their favorite comedy records.  I wanted to talk about PFT so I picked Freak Wharf, since it’s a nice lead-in to the all the parts of Paul’s comedy that inspire me artistically (I talk about his podcast as well, and most of his artistic/comedic output, really).   Anyway, listen here if you want and tell me later if it sounds okay—there’s no WAY I can listen to this myself!  Hahaha… heh… gulp

Episode 61 – Sara Pocock on Paul F. Tompkins – Freak Wharf

This week I talk with the insanely talented Sara Pocock!  You need to look at her art - she draws a lot of comedians and illustrates some great characters from podcasts (Fourvel from Comedy Bang Bang! being a personal favorite).  We talk about Paul F. Tompkins, the fact that she’s WAY more a live comedy nerd than I am, and what it’s like to work with the comedians you admire. Host: Jason Klamm Producer: Mike Worden This Week’s Guest: Sara Pocock Sara’s Amazing Tumblr Sara’s Website Buy Freak Wharf Please watch Jason’s first feature-length film, “Looking Forward” in its entirety, FOR FREE, HERE.  Or go to JasonKlamm.com.  Thanks!

Upcoming 'Sodes

(In case you missed it, Timothy Omundson is on our latest episode, talking about Flip Wilson!) Yes, I now shorten the word episodes to ‘sodes.  And now I’ve stopped. I don’t normally do media-light posts like this, but I wanted to thank our regular listeners and our new listeners for your support, and to let you know that I have a ton of episodes banked right now to roll out over the next couple of months.  I’d love to pull a Chris Hardwick and do several a week, but I’m gearing up for my wedding in June (Mike will be there, too), and I’d frankly rather not think about scratchy plastic circles during my honeymoon. We have episodes coming up with DC Pierson, Patric Verrone (Futurama, The Critic, The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, etc), amazing artist Sara Pocock, Ben Acker (Thrilling Adventure Hour) and Steve Franks (creator of … Continue reading →
