TYLER'S SELF HELP

Tyler's Self Help begins like any other brand-preneur, materialistic, bullshit youtube ad, thinking it'll 'break the internet'.. until it ITSELF is broken and put back together through spirituality & therapy, all in one minute-long experience. Performed by Todd Donald & Lauren Stein.

COMMENTARY

Mind Dreams was a Channel 101 show created by Kyle Sweeney & Andy Petruzzo, which remained in primetime from January 2021 to May 2022. It's made up of a handful of mini segments of sketch comedy, abstract, music and whatever else each contributor could cram into a minute for this anthology show in the vein of Jason Whetzell & Danny Jelinek's Everything. Kyle asked if I could drop him a vid for it and a few months of denying even the possibility of doing a video, I felt inspired and made this. Good thing?

 

Incidentally, my friend Lauren Stein who plays the therapist in this sketch, moved away to Israel the following summer so this ended up being our only collaboration. Lauren's an amazing, hilarious, talented & smart person /creative /conversationalist and more and i'm sad that I didn't follow through on my desire to work with her more.
