What is The Old Negro Space Program?
It’s a short film I made in 2003. I had the title first. It made me laugh. Then I made the movie, slowly. I figured if it sucked I wouldn’t show it to anyone. It did not suck, so here it is.
This was shown at the HBO Comedy Festival in 2004 (back when it was the Aspen Comedy Festival). And even before that, it helped me get my first tv writing job on Malcolm in the Middle.
Also it was one of the first shorts to “go viral,” and I’m very proud of it. The Old Negro Space Program has been good to me. I hope you enjoy it.
Up next: Full Nelson
Full Nelson is a web series I produced with my friend Adam Paul. Adam really makes me laugh, especially in the role of ambitious rat-in-a-maze, which he perfected for the short-lived Starz series Hollywood Residential. Adam plays a similar, but evolved character in Full Nelson. We shot this last summer with the help of some very talented and generous crew members, along with a great cast. All of whom worked for peanuts to help us get this off the ground.
Full Nelson is about the bizarre, yet very real world of indie wrestling. Once we discovered the world, we couldn’t look away. Hopefully you’ll find it just as compelling.
There are 7 episodes total, showing on koldcast.tv in the coming weeks. If we get enough viewers, we’ll get to make more. And then we can pay our cast and crew what they’re really worth.
Want to help me out?
Sure I’m a big-time tv writer now. But not that big-time yet. Tell you what. If you really loved the movie, why not get yourself a sweet remembrance of our time together:
Beautiful, right? Okay, so you love the movie and you want to help me pay for the cost of hosting this site, but you don’t want a t-shirt or mousepad. How about a donation through Paypal?
Or how about this? You want to donate, but you don’t want me to have any piece of it? Please give to the Negro League Players Association, or the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. You’ll feel good. I’ll feel less guilty for satirizing this treasured part of American history. And you’ll be helping to keep this treasure alive.
