In 2016 I had the privilege to join the cast of the third film in Jordan Brady’s I am Comic trilogy. Jordan is a commercial director now, and he’s a seasoned documentarian, but he’s also directed Hollywood features, hosted MTV game shows, and in a lesser known piece of trivia, is the inventor of the phrase "bow chicka bow wow," which was a signature piece in a very successful stand up comedy career. The film I’m in, I Am Battle Comic, looks at what it’s like to perform for the United States military overseas. It touts a star studded cast of comedians, much like the previous two films in the trilogy, I Am Road Comic, and the cult classic that started it all, I Am Comic. I Am Comic features interviews with Phyllis Diller, Jeff Foxworthy, Lewis Black, Tim Allen, as well as a host of known and unknown names at the time, and I can’t recommend it enough as a primer on stand up comedy beyond what you see in a typical Netflix special. More importantly, Jordan and I have become friends, and his optimistic approach to the world of entertainment is infectious. I sat down with him to find out the stories behind his and how he goes about making things. You can visit Jordan’s world of commercial directing at www.CommercialDirectingFilmSchool.com Also, try Jordan’s Oso Delicious Hot Sauce.  I personally keep a bottle of each at the house, because the Texan in me loves a little heat.  Visit www.OsoDelicious.org, where $1 from every bottle bought, stolen, or broken goes to the National Military Family Association, another organization I care deeply about.
