Introduce Yourself : New Member! by Jonathan Gunderson

Hi everyone! My name is Jonathan Gunderson and I am an aspiring director, screenwriter, actor, and musician. I've had 4 years of experience filming my own youtube comedy shorts and school projects from Eastern Washington University. I'm basically a jack of all trades because for my productions because I usually am the writer, director, producer, editor, sound designer, and star of my videos. So I definitely have the ability to wear multiple hats during a production. I have no professional experience, but I am a quick learner and enjoy all kinds of jobs. Here is my final project my first quarter at EWU: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaQD8mEED8k My goal was to see if I could create a short that felt like an episode of Arrested Development on no-budget. I only spent $100 on that sketch and have received unanimously positive feedback as it closely resembles the show almost perfectly. I wanted to change the focus from a dysfunctional family to a dysfunctional band, and wrote the entire thing within the writing constraints of the assignment. Since I live outside of LA, the most feasible job I would be suited for would be anything involving writing. I was a finalist in the September 2010 Wildsound Toronto TV SPEC/TV SCREENPLAY competition with my tv spec of IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA that was titled "The Gang Adopts an Asian Baby." So I definitely can write and give constructive feedback on both creative and technical elements of screenplays and TV screenplays. It's nice to meet you all!
