OK, ok… that’s my most offensive pun to date. I can’t help myself. The real story, Curiosity and Roto Rooter were so happy with the result of last year’s campaign that they brought the band back together again. This time we cut two versions. The one at the top of the page is “as scripted”…. Read more »

Roto Rooter, a Study in Potty Humor
This fall I directed a fun (and funny) commercial for rock-star Cincinnati Advertising Agency, Curiosity and their client Roto Rooter.

The project had many challenges that are unfortunately… Read more »

Last Spring I directed a humor spot for College Advantage, a tax free college savings plan from the Ohio Tuition Trust Authority (OTTA). The Ohio 529 plan offers tax free earnings and you can contribute as little as $25 at a time. The commercial is a humorous reminder that it is never too early to… Read more »
My Favorite Director? Chuck runs Amok!
Whenever conversation lulls on the production set or at parties or at pre or post shoot meals with clients, I am invariably asked the same question. “So, who’s your favorite director?
