Comedian/Filmmaker Henry Phillips is one of my favorite comics on the circuit. His specials and live shows are not to be missed. Nor are his two semi-biographical cult comedy films: "Punching the Clown" and the sequel "Punching Henry", now on Showtime. He has also made acting appearances on HBO's "Silicon Valley" (4 episodes) and Comedy Central's "Drunk History". His YouTube channel, featuring the tutorial cooking series "Henry's Kitchen", has garnered millions of views.
Our chat covers it all, from getting a film of the ground, to that final test screening to hear the laughs. You'll love it.

Celebrity Makeup Artist Aliesh Pierce and I have done dozens of shoots together. We share a strong work ethic that mandates mastery of craft, and helping others. For example, when HMI lighting came all the rage, Aliesh bought her own to see the effects on her makeup techniques. And then she did her own tests when the digital camera revolution began. Be sure to check out her own line of beauty products too at AskAliesh.com today.
