About Us
We are a small production company / troupe of writers / actors / performers / filmmakers / dancers. All in the name of comedy and good fun. Excuse me? Oh, too many slashes for your tastes? Sorry? You prefer hyphens? You best get off our site before I slash your face/neck into a bloody pulp-of-a-mess, mister man.
Also, we don't really dance. Unless you have a 6-pack and a stripper pole.

He promptly pees on her and laughs uncontrollably. He carries a blankie woven from textiles not of this world.

He wishes on that star, asking that the wooden boy would become a real boy-a real boy filled with whimsical stuff. In a flash, the wooden puppet transforms into a real boy, but quadruples in size. The old woodcarver, shocked and frightened by the six foot six tall figure standing before him crying, "Papa? Papa is that you?", ran away screaming into the night.

March 14, 2003 - Westwood, CA
Jakob hears a strange voice calling to him. It says, "If you film it, they will come...and it might be funny...or it could suck, but you should still do it!" The voice continues to repeat this over and over again for several hours until he is pushed to the brink of madness. He weeps like a schoolgirl in what he thinks is an empty public restroom. As he sobs in the fetal position on the cold, tile floor, two concerned men come forward from the stalls to his aid. He sees them, has an extreme moment of clarity and forces them to be in his first short film right there, right then. Those men are Ryan Gantz and Andrew Wollman. Thus, the introduction of the first short film project FOR A GOOD TIME!
May 21 st , 2003 - Sherman Oaks, CA
Jakob, Ryan and Andrew are talking about the controversy over 'For a Good Time.' Some people say the end is troubling with all the dense political theory, while others are put off by the extreme 'smile'. Nicole comes to the door with a case of cheap beer and a ton of compliments for the film. She proclaims, "It's RAD!" She is immediately included in the group and suggests that the group think of a name. Andrew Wollman suggests Crappy McCrap. This is immediately shot down. Then, a loud booming voice that seem to come from everywhere and nowhere says the name -- MIGHTY MCPILGRIM! At first, they are not sure about the new identity. But then Nicole exclaims, "It's RAD!" The name sticks. Thus, the introduction of our name MIGHTY MCPILGRIM.
