Your Imaginary Friend
Ian Abramson
Controlled Chaos
Raising the stakes by any means necessary.
Crafting jokes in unexpected places.
Watch Me Get Electrocuted
I performed stand up on Conan and let an audience member electrocute me when they didn’t like a joke.
Terry Plants Plants
This is a Miracle Gro campaign I did. I wrote and starred in it. It was directed by Jeff and Pete, an incredible duo of commercial directors. This campaign more than doubled their typical audience retention numbers.
Inland Empire
This is a short film I made with comedian Tim Barnes. It became a “Staff Pick” on Vimeo. We grew up together in a part of Southern California called “The Inland Empire.”

A Smattering of Brands I’ve Worked With
-
I wrote novelty navigation scripts. Branded and evergreen. When they needed a robot to guide drivers, I wrote “beep boop, turn left.”
-
I developed a social campaign with Lyft. Short form videos featuring fun surprises for random passengers used for all platforms.
-
I’ve written material for promotional “Geeked” brand and was also comissioned by them to make props for marketing materials.
*I also had a tiny role on Space Force, but that’s not really what this portfolio is about
