Jed Gillen’s Summary
I am the writer, director and co-founder of Liv Films, creating popular online videos that are watched approximately 100,000 times each day. In December 2008, our first DVD (Brushing Teeth in Undies) will be released for national distribution in such stores as Target, Best Buy, and Blockbuster. I have also recently completed the second edition of my book "Obligate Carnivore" (originally published in 2003), which will also be available in major retail outlets sometime this fall. Currently, I am developing an as-yet untitled web series that will go public approximately the first week of November. Finally, I am in the beginning stages of pre-production on an independent feature film that I hope to complete by the end of 2009.
Jed Gillen’s Specialties:
My entrepreneurial spirit is driven by underlying laziness and a need for attention.
