This past weekend, we took a break from shooting shorts to take care of some long overdue business with the Señors of Marseille with the making of a music video for their song, "Coolest Girl in New York." The shoot was super fun hanging out with the band and other cast, and the day also involved a battle of the bands (sorta). Be on the lookout for the video and this band's first E.P. coming out soon.

Our Lehman Brothers short got written up by the German edition of the Financial Times, so we plugged the text into an online translator. Apparently in German, it's about a "jobless banker" who "searched consolation in the (peach?) Schnapps" and "must roast eggs to himself what fails pitifully." All future Untucked scripts will now be put through the same translator prior to shoot dates.

Better late than never. As in 2 a.m. EST tonight. That's when Untucked makes it's Comedy Central debut. Tune in to see "How to Get Gonorrhea" on Comedy Central's Atom TV.

Lately, the economy has taken a severe beating, and Wall Street has some rental office space available for anyone interested. So we decided to document one man's struggle with recent unemployment. Check out "Laid Off By Lehman" on youtube or here on our website.

A while back, Comedy Central bought an educational video we did called "How to Get Gonorrhea." They have now released it on Atom.com and will be broadcasting it on Nov. 10th at 2:00 A.M. (technically the morning of Nov. 11th). Watch it below and be sure to repost it on your facebooks, tumblrs and twitters so that the whole world can learn about this wonderful disease (and also so that Comedy Central sees the web stats and buys more stuff from us).

For those of you who couldn't make it out last Friday, our two Tropfest films, "The Wildflower" and "Mrs. Jones" are now posted on our site under Shorts. Enjoy.

The Paul Curreri music video we mentioned back in May is now completed and posted. It's for his song "Fat Killer At Dawn," which is on his album The Velvet Rut. The video was shot and directed by Lewis, who would like to give his most appreciative thanks ever to Susan and Jodie for their art direction and set design.

Untucked represented well at Tropfest NY 2008, with Chuck's short "The Wildflower" placing 3rd overall. And it is an even bigger pleasure to have had our leads take home the Best Actor and the Best Actress awards - Jonathan Harford in his role in "The Wildflower" and Barbara Singer in Jonathan's film "Mrs. Jones." Plus we got to watch "The Switch" on the same screen it debuted on in last year's Tropfest, this time as part of the "Best Of Tropfest" package.
Thanks to all out friends and family for braving the weather and making it out in support of us last night. We couldn't ask for a better supporting cast.
The Filmmakers
3rd Place - Chuck Divak
Best Actor - Jonathan Harford
Best Actress - Barbara Singer

Tropfest is in 24 hours and yes, it is rain or shine. So grab your umbrellas, ponchos, some wine and plastic cups, maybe some munchies. No amount of rain is gonna stop us from guilting you into coming.
Show starts at 8. If you're there at 7 you're probably guaranteed a seat.
And most importantly, immediately following the awards head just four blocks away to the Untucked Afterparty at the Dakota Roadhouse. Drink up, dry off and order yourself some greasy burgers and PB&Js.

A hearty happy birthday to our principle partner and primary editor, Chuck, who turns the big ole 3-0 today.
September 17, 2008
Tropfest NY is coming up in precisely 9 days - Friday, September 26th to be exact, and Untucked will once again be there in full participation. Jonathan's short titled "Mrs. Jones" and Chuck's film titled "The Wildflower" were both chosen as one of the eight finalists for this year's competition. And our short, "The Switch," which placed 3rd last year, is also being screened as part of this year's first-ever Tropfest "Best Of" package.
We had a blast last year and expect even more (FREE!) fun times along the Hudson River with our 8,000 closest friends. So come join us. Sun down and films up at 8pm.

Beginning tomorrow, the fine folks over at the Bushwick Film Festival are hosting a weekend-long shindig, which includes screening a short (or two) of ours as part of their 2008 festivities.

We shot two shorts this past weekend, one in our usual location of Red Hook and one out in Long Island. Big thanks to the cast and crew for making our lives easier. Pictures from the two shoots are posted below and also here.

Untucked took the show on the road for their latest film, "The Funeral." Shot on location in Chatham, Mass. and working with some new faces in front of as well as behind the camera, Untucked jammed 45 hours of filming into 3 days and learned how to bbq tofu in the spare time. All in all, it was a successful weekend. See proof in the pictures below (taken by Tate Pasternak).

Hey, Drunken Celebrity Phone Calls was the daily feature video on Funny or Die yesterday. Now it's simply another video on Funny or Die, but for 24 hours, it was the daily feature. We can't actually prove it anymore since that day has passed, but trust us as we humbly tell you: we're important.

Despite the lack of news updates, Untucked has been busy writing and preparing for numerous summer projects. And yesterday, we shot a music video for one of our favorite singer/songwriters, Mr. Paul Curreri. The shoot was a success with some instrumental help from friends and 10 a.m. Sierra Nevadas. And we can't say enough about Paul either - buy his albums, see his shows - an absolute talent.

Additions to the Shorts page: 2 new ones (The Message and The Switch) and 2 old ones (Baby and The Ex). Check it out on your employer's time.

Hey look! It's another Eames Era video, this time for their tune "Little Brother." Check it out on our Music Video page.
In other news, we're in the process of mass-producing dvds of our Volume 2 body of work as seen at our screening. If you are interested in owning one, email us.

We've put up a three new shorts: The Talent, Drunken Celebrity Phone Calls, and The Journey. Enjoy.

We can't say it enough - lots and lots of thanks to everyone who came to the screening last night. Super fun times. We'll be updating the website soon with everything shown last night, so keep checking back if you're dying to see it all again and again and again...

Happy birthday to our youngest and most sophomoric Untucked member - Lewis. Buy him a beer at Parkside and then watch him fall down a lot.
February 10, 2008
We're very excited to have our 2nd Annual Screening at Parkside Lounge coming up on February 20th at 7:30pm. We'd be delighted to have you there in attendance. You'll get an hour's worth of fairly new material from us, followed by three musical acts that we think collectively, could make for a pretty great Wednesday night out in New York City. We'll see you then.
Feb. 20th at Parkside Lounge, NYC
07:30 - Untucked Films
09:30 - Senors of Marseille
10:30 - Dan Zweben
11:30 - Rawles BallsJanuary 14, 2008
Scratch what we said below about January 23rd. It's instead happening on February 20th. Will let you know more as we get closer to time.

Oops. We messed up. It seems as though our most senior partner increased in age back on December 26th, and I didn't alert the masses. So in apologetically belated fashion, let's say happy birthday to Steve. And Happy 2008 too, while we're at it and all.
