The Ministry of Unknown Science - Pilot

spancer — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 02:30:29 +0000

MOUS is a hybrid Live/Video sketch comedy show. Ministry “experiments” were held at The Brewery Arts Complex in downtown Los Angeles, to sold-out crowds for five years. The Ministry of Unknown Science videos were in the top ten comedy podcasts on iTunes. I was the director and editor for almost all of the Ministry’s videos.

The success of the live MOUS shows got us a deal with Viacom cable network Spike TV. We wrote a single-camera 22-minute pilot incorporating many of my videos from our previous shows. New wraparound and special effects sequences were shot (directed by Chuck Cirino), and I edited the pilot to completion. Alas, Spike TV passed on the pilot because apparently they don’t know funny.
