Win What’s in Craig Reid’s Left Pocket

Posted by Pete Berg on Sunday, January 3rd, 2010 at 10:13 am

Our buddy Craig Reid from Ithaca College has created a new web-based gameshow called “Win What’s in Craig Reid’s Left Pocket” — a follow up to his Ithaca College TV game show, “IC Match.” The premise is simple: Craig approaches random strangers on the street and plays a simple 4 minute game show, where they get asked only one trivia question or play one simple game. If they win, they get what’s in Craig Reid’s left pocket (usually about $20), if they get it partially right, they get what’s in Craig Reid’s right pocket (a few bucks), and if they fail completely, they walk away with nothing.

Craig’s posted a bunch of episodes on his YouTube Channel. Below is the first one. What I find most entertaining about the show is the charmingly low production values, and the fact that Craig keeps the camera rolling and doesn’t edit out any of the distractions or awkward exchanges that end up happening (which you would expect when all of your contestants are random strangers). Enjoy!

Bulletstorm IV

Posted by Pete Berg on Wednesday, May 6th, 2009 at 11:53 am

“Poverty-stricken best friends Will and Kirk decide the easiest way to make money fast is to start killing for it. But their friendship is put to the test when their Assassination business starts to get out of hand…”

A new short film from Ithaca College grad Joe Nicolosi. This seems like mostly an excuse to experiment with (and parody) excessive action movie special effects….but it’s a hilarious and entertaining ride. Enjoy!

Hollywood A-S-S-T

Posted by Pete Berg on Wednesday, February 18th, 2009 at 10:28 pm

My friend Jesse and his band of merry misfits in the sketch comedy group Back of the Class are all assistants in Hollywood. So what else to do other than make a hip hop video about getting coffee for execs and constantly checking Perez Hilton? This is a pretty hilarious music video, especially if you’re an entertainment industry grunt in Hollywood like me and most of my friends. Enjoy!

Star Wars: Retold (by someone who hasn’t seen it)

Posted by Pete Berg on Thursday, January 15th, 2009 at 1:09 pm

“My friend Amanda had never seen a whole Star Wars film. When I asked her if she wanted to watch the original trilogy she said that she would, but that she already knew what happens. So I took out my voice recorder and asked her to start from the top.”

Star Wars: Retold (by someone who hasn’t seen it) from Joe Nicolosi on Vimeo.

This video is a big hit today — and it was made by Joe Nicolosi, and features Amanda, both friends from Ithaca College!
