Living in Captivity - Pilot

Can't believe I haven't posted this before. Living in Captivity is a pilot that was an official selection of the 2008 New York Television Festival, written by my pals Uma, Erica, and Nicole, directed by Erica and my other pal, Todd.

It's a full-length pilot, so you'll need about 22 minutes of your lunch break or on the weekend to watch it. It's funny stuff (though I'm partial to the action around 20:15).

NoBuddies Episode 3 "Hate & Switch"

Bill plays a trick on Cal and Cal gets even...sort of.
Runtime: 3:12. (See, I told you they would get shorter.)

Check it out on San Francisco Public Television via YouTube:


At about 5:24 he plays something that looks like a koto. I first heard the koto in my student days at Augustana College. Jeff Wichmann was a senior my freshman year, and he still plays it and the trumpet combined with loads of other instruments; check out his MySpace page.
