character reality emotional
I find as a viewer, when I go to see comedies, the strain to be funny throughout the whole thing. I start to lose my sense of reality, and it ends up feeling like an empty experience; there's funny stuff in it but I've lost the emotional connection to the characters because it's just so bananas.

My impulse is to create an aesthetic that's about a humanistic approach to a world and trying to create compassion for all the characters.

I did that for a year, but it wasn't the same.
history worked
Most of the shows I've worked on have aired three times and are in the dustbin of history.
freedom hard writer
My favorite thing is being able to follow my inspiration, and the freedom of being a writer is hard to beat.
