Directing
Nobody tells a story better than Jay, whether it’s on stage on the page or from behind the camera. (Jay’s manager wrote that, if you ask Jay he’d just say, “Telling a story on stage is fun but taking a script, casting the actors, directing the dialogue, picking the set and blocking the camera moves is dope! Yeah I still say dope.) Jay has directed dozens of sketches for “The Conor Moore Show”, “Better Off with Hally Leadbetter” and “The Nosebleeds for UFC. Comedy is in Jay’s blood, just ask his mother, actually don’t she will never stop talking. Whether he’s directing emmy award winners Tony Hale and Rob Corddry or elite athletes like Tiger Woods and Blake Griffin Jay prides himself on getting the best performance he can out of any actor. Jay put his directing skills on full display in his short film and commercial directing pitch, “Any Asshole”.
Writing
Jay is an accomplished writer who has had script deals at Fox and NBC Universal. He has been a contributing writer for Pilot’s at Comedy Central and TruTV, written video games, written commercials and social brand campaigns, worked as a punch up writer for studio produced movies and most recently ran the Writer’s room for three seasons of “The Conor Moore Show” on Golf Pass. Currently Jay is finishing up two freelance film scripts and in the development stages of a new Single Camera Comedy based on his stand up. Below are the two proof of concept series Jay wrote to help sell his show ideas.
Sports
Jay is a Sports freak! And that’s not just because he played college baseball, is a 7 handicap and recently won a backgammon tournament. (Are you saying backgammon isn’t a sport?!) He knows who leads the MLB in steals, how many more 1000 yard seasons Larry Fitzgerald would have needed to catch Jerry Rice, 5 1/2, yes that’s insane! And don’t get him started on Cam Neely’s numbers! When it comes to combining Sports and Comedy there is no one that can relate to athletes, understand the nuance of the two and no one who better understands how to be authentic inside the sport. He gets it! Below are some of the many sports projects Jay has worked on.
