National Flashlight Day

Marty is always there to defend the underdog. In this case, the underdog is a random day in late December.

Ewok Gospel (Featuring Billy Dee Williams)

As a lifelong Star Wars fanboy, getting to make a video with Billy Dee Williams was my Michael Phelps Olympic moment.

To make the whole experience even more surreal, actor Warwick Davis (“Wicket the Ewok” in Return of the Jedi) enjoyed the video so much, he used it in his Disney Star Wars Live Show. Click HERE to see a video from that show.

Here’s what I can tell you about Andrew Zilch:

The guy grew up only minutes away from Minnesota’s Largest Ball of Twine, and although he now lives in Los Angeles, the “Twine Ball” continues to sustain him with a powerful life-force that accounts for his cat-like reflexes and “can do” attitude.

He’s also one of the finest writers and filmmakers I’ve ever met.

Most recently, Andrew has served as a writer-producer-director for HBO’s Runawaybox comedy team. Many of his videos have earned hundreds-of-thousands of views, helping propel the Runawaybox YouTube channel into the Top 100 “Most Subscribed – Directors (All Time)”.

Andrew’s talents have also been put to use in the world of branded web entertainment where he’s written, produced, and directed dozens of projects for companies such as Levi’s, Samsung, Mountain Dew, and Captain Morgan.

In 2008, Andrew was recognized as a Webby Awards Honoree for the DirecTV web series based on his original character “Marty”. 2008 also saw the DVD release of Andrew’s music documentary “Storyhill: Parallel Lives” which has taken honors in multiple film festivals.

Andrew is a member of the Very Angry Neighbors sketch group whose work has been featured on Good Morning America, the CW, the G4 network, and the Independent Comedy Network. In addition, he has studied sketch-writing and improv comedy at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theatre.

Andrew Zilch is a loyal friend and a good listener. I am proud to have known him.
