Bijan interview for BHA animation cartoon pilot
So I went to see Iron Man 2 with my friend Tony Elias last night at midnight and the movie theater’s key to the digital print wasn’t working and we ended up walking out of the theater at 1:00am. I got home, futzed around with my mic and decided to record a little. Read more about this…
Wes Parker voices a test run for Beverly Hills Adjacent
My very talented friend Wes Parker has agreed to help me out with my new spec animation Beverly Hills Adjacent. He voiced this quick test run in his own sound booth at home for a bit in the script where Chanel is being interviewed by the “documentary crew.” Read more about this…
Bob Paparazzo
This is one of the many episodes that I was hired to direct/animate for Vh1. This was the first animated project I did not write myself…it was a ton of fun working in a more collaborative atmosphere. Read more about this…
Beverly Hills Adjacent Realty
I always knew the Real Estate market was funny but after working as Creative Director for a big firm, I couldn’t help but poke fun at some of the things I had learned .
The show is not, in any way, based on my employments, but rather is a mocking of some of the extreme behaviors I saw across the different companies and Realtors who passed through my life after I started working in the marketing aspect of the business.
This was done in a bit a rushed manner…I have a fully written, fleshed out pilot that I hope to have time to do right one day. Until then – back to work I suppose.
Broke and Lonely – episode 3
Created out of boredom by myself and my good friend Corey Wish. This show ended up airing on G4tv. Phillup’s voice may sound familiar to you if you’ve seen the Jon and Michael show – it’s my brother with a slight mid-eastern accent. My Dad is Israeli and usually serves as inspiration for much of my work in comedy. He’s not always a funny guy, but sometimes even losing his temper can get hysterical.

My Date with a Magician
This is really more of a screen test than a short. I just happened to edit it with my friend Jeff Coatney – a great voice actor and artist in his own right. Tamar Feinkind stars in this little screen test – check out her website for more of her stuff: Tamar Feinkind
My little brother Daniel was playing opposite her. He was about 10 at the time and has since lost almost all of his baby fat – way to go Daniel!
The Jon & Michael Show
This was the original short that prompted the Mtv Pilot. Sadly the show never got picked up. It was changed quite a bit after Mtv contracted the pilot but I’m not complaining – the process was fun and the most rewarding thing was to be able to do something with my brother Michael.
Background on the idea:
I was living at home with my younger brother who was 16 at the time. He started talking like this after seeing Napolean Dynamite. My mom hated the Napolean Dynamite voice because it was too rude and aggressive so my brother started putting a happy stoner spin on the voice, dropped it an octave and suddenly it caught on. Pretty soon his whole school (even the teachers) were talking like him. I was writing a lot more than animating at the time and he and I would but heads because I wasn’t being positive enough so…this show was born.
