Filmmaker Andrew DeYoung was just chilling on the Internet one day, when Kate Berlant’s “Lampshade Susan” video popped up on his Facebook feed. After being stunned by her brilliance and hilarity, he decided that he had to seek out more of her. So he did what any 21st-century millennial would: He jumped on Twitter and liked a bunch of her tweets.
The two ended up connecting a few months later, and together with fellow comedian John Early they shot the “Santa Monica” video. It would be the first of many collaborations with Berlant and Early—who both star in the new Netflix show The Characters—but he also recently directed and edited Sarah Silverman’s Bernie Sanders video, was behind the viral “Breasts” video with actress Amanda Lund, and has done a variety of videos with comedian/actress Maria Blasucci. The filmmaker began his creative pursuits by doing improv, learning how to let the funny happen naturally.
