STuFF FiLMS, a new highly-energized sketch comedy group full of brazen 
comedians, improv artists, writers, directors and editors is looking to 
expand. Check out our website at www.stufffilms.com and see if you fit in with 
our web-based universe. Looking for multi-talented individuals...yes, you 
should be funny (silly, acerbic, sardonic, gratuitously naughty, clever, 
witty, high-strung, neurotic) and able to work in a collaborative setting 
(writer room is in South Harlem - close to the A/D express train 125th) with a 
very diverse group. Do you look at everyday situations and think...that would 
make a great sketch? Do you think you are funnier than SNL? Do you have 
improv/acting training and a portfolio of sketches? Do you have an HD camera 
and lighting equipment? Do you really love to edit comedy for the web? Do 
you play any instruments or know how to write a good parody song? Does Andy
Samberg inspire you? Do you have a wealth of knowledge about Monty Python, 
sci-fi, Kids in the Hall, The State, The Muppets and film noir? Do you read 
a lot? Do you follow current events and pop culture like its the stock 
market? If someone asked you, which family member do you hate the most and 
what's the best way to exploit them in a sketch...would you talk about it? 
Seriously, though, we want to find that individual who wants to write, act, 
produce, film, edit, score, light and promote web-based sketch...not too 
mention...we do four to five live shows a year. By September, we will have done 
four live shows and done over a dozen films...that was in one year. Email 
us your resume(s) / headshots/ urls / whatever you want to tell us about 
yourself...we would like to meet you. We are about a dozen or so 20 and 30 
somethings making a living as professional actors that want to do something 
for ourselves. Are you the missing piece to our group? Email us at 
info@stufffilms.com and we may be in touch with you. Also, we are looking for web 
designers and graphic designers as well! Bring all your talent and get twice 
as much reward!
