You're gonna laugh yourself to death!

Being a filmmaker that loves improv comedy, I'm drawn and inspired by other filmmakers of the genre.

There are three Web sites and movie groups I want to bring your attention to.

Most of their stuff is Safe For Work, and watching a few of their films takes the boredom away and it will have you returning to see what they come up with next.

The first Web site is 5 Second Films at www.5secondfilms.com.

They produce just what they say: a comedic film in five seconds, give or take a couple seconds of credit and black.

Better yet, they put up a new film every weekday. And I've spent many an hour at home laughing my arse off at their originality. I highly suggest you check them out.

Here's one video to get you started:



And another:



And one more (WARNING: ONE FOUL WORD):



The second one to bring to your attention is BriTANick Comedy at www.britanick.com.
They market themselves as two guys wasting their degrees. BriTANicK screamed into existence in early 2008 when Brian McElhaney and Nick Kocher decided that they didn’t want to use the knowledge and experience they garnered in college for anything but creating short stupid videos that would make them laugh.

Here's a film making the rounds on Facebook and YouTube:




And another:



Lastly, if you're a fan of NBC's "Community," then you might recognize Donald Glover, one of the stars in the Derrick Comedy. http://www.youtube.com/user/derrickcomedy

They are releasing their film "Mystery Team" on May 25 on DVD.



And another one:




Sit back. Laugh. Enjoy. Hey, maybe even pick up a camera and make someone else laugh.

Oh, and while you're at it, check out an award-winning production made by the film company I'm affiliated with, Drop the Hat Productions. http://www.youtube.com/user/ProjectTwenty1#p/c/F1FB4637FB6B4744/5/uPUhRc9_Js0
