Does Eric Schaeffer--
creator and star of "Eric Schaeffer: Life Coach," the newest series on the My Damn Channel Comedy Network -- look familiar to you? He's had a long Hollywood career. Learn more about him:
ERIC SCHAEFFER
Writer/ Director/ Actor
Film:
After driving a cab in his hometown of New York City for 8 years in his twenties, Eric exploded on the film scene with his debut film, MY LIFE’S IN TURNAROUND, (1994, ARROW RELEASING) to rave reviews. Eric’s follow-up, IF LUCY FELL (1996) concerned 29-year-old New York therapist who, after her most recent romantic meltdown, makes a pact with her male roommate to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge if she hasn’t found love by 30. Sarah Jessica Parker, Ben Stiller, and Elle Macpherson starred alongside Eric, who wrote, directed and produced the hit romantic comedy for TRISTAR.
He fulfilled the same multi-hyphenate in his next two films: FALL (1997, MGM) and WIREY SPINDELL, (2000, WINSTAR) respectively. In Eric’s subsequent film, NEVER AGAIN, two fifty-somethings (Jill Clayburg and Jeffrey Tambor) that have sworn off falling in love again meet in a gay bar and rediscover themselves. Eric wrote and directed this romantic comedy for FOCUS FILMS. In 2002 Eric then made MIND THE GAP in 2004 starring himself, Elizabeth Reiser. Charles Parnell and Alan King.
THER’RE OUT OF THE BUSINESS is a quirky romantic comedy he made with Donal Ward, the sequel to their first film MY LIFE’S IN TURNAROUND. IFC FILMS released it theatrically in 2011.
Eric ‘s newest film AFTER FALL, WINTER, a dark, edgy romantic drama-comedy set in Paris opened theatrically in NYC Jan 2012 and FILMBUFF released it on digital platforms as well.
Television:
Eric’s first show TOO SOMETHING was on FOX in 1995. He created, starred and produced the comedy along with Donal Larnder Ward.
After starring on Mitch Hurwitz’s Everything’s Relative for NBC, Eric then created the FX original comedy series, STARVED in 2005. The show took a comedic look at the romantic and personal lives of an eating disorder support group. Eric created, wrote, directed and starred in the series.
I CAN’T BLIEVE I’M STILL SINGLE, a narrative-style documentary series (based on his 2007 Memoir,) chronicled Eric’s quest to find a wife at the age of 40. It ran for 3 seasons on Showtime. The show continues to receive great reviews and strong ratings on HULU.
GRAVITY was Eric’s most recent scripted half hour. He created it with Jill Franklyn. The Starz original series he directed, produced and starred in was on the air in 2011. It also starred Krysten Ritter, Ivan Sergei, Ving Rhames and Rachel Hunter.
As a controversial and outspoken culture critic, Eric’s thoughts have also been published in The Huffington Post, Bookslut, Salon, and other important magazines and blogs.
His work is known for it’s honest and frank discussion of human sexuality, romantic love, sexual politics and exposes the quirky sides of our lives that we all know exist but often don’t talk about… at least in public. In ERIC SCHAEFFER – LIFE COACH, his first made for the internet full length comedy series, these themes will certainly be tackled reaching both comic and poignant ends of the emotional spectrum.
Eric lives and creates in New York City.

His reporting and editorial cartoons received awards from various press associations and the American Association of Editorial Cartoonists. He has also completed internships at Marvel Comics in New York and, in Los Angeles, at the management production company Aligned Entertainment and at Robert Zemeckis' production company ImageMovers.
Christian Contreras Bio
Christian Contreras is the director and co-writer of the Subway Fresh Artists web series, “Herman.”
Christian is originally from El Paso, TX where his love for cinema was cultivated by the rich Mexican culture of a border town community. He holds a BA in Electronic Media with a minor in Theatre Arts from the University of Texas at El Paso. In 2008, Christian won the national ‘Kennedy Center ACTF Barbizon Award for Excellence in Lighting Design’ for his work in his school’s production of Jose Rivera’s “Cloud Tectonics.”
Shortly after, Christian moved to Los Angeles, CA to pursue his passion for film and lighting. He is currently finishing his MFA in Film and TV Production from USC’s School of Cinematic Arts where he focused his studies in cinematography and discovered his love for writing and directing.
Coming off his experience on “Herman,” Christian is revisiting his craze for puppets in his graduate thesis film, “Para Ellos,” a story about two children who journey across the U.S./Mexico border in search for their father; he is co-directing “Para Ellos” along with “Herman” producer, Victoria De La Torre. Christian hopes to continue making films that focus on the stories and experiences of the Mexican-American culture while pursuing a career in family entertainment.

This California native is a current MFA candidate at the USC School of Cinematic Arts Production Program.

During her time at USC she has been a twice recipient of the Rodolfo Montes Memorial Scholarship and was also awarded the John Huston Directing Scholarship (2010-2011) for her USC film titled ‘THE DAY BEFORE’. Although Victoria aspires to write and direct she had the great fortune to discover a love for Production Design. Over the course of her USC studies she has designed and set decorated over 20 projects; including in- class exercises, music videos, advanced shorts and thesis films.
One of her best experiences by far is working on the ‘HERMAN’ SUBWAY web-series alongside her classmates and friends.

How many movies can one man watch in one month?
Who hasn't had the fantasy: "I'm going to stay home and watch movies all day. I'm going to catch up on the classics, see all those movies that I never had time to see, hell... I'll maybe I'll even watch a couple of those romantic comedies that my wife is always trying to make me enjoy... just because I CAN. I have Netflix streaming and I have access to a million movies 24 hours a day. WHY CAN'T I JUST STAY HOME AND WATCH MOVIES?"
Verbatim, right? Now you're all, "Get out of my head, My Damn Channel!"
Too late. We're just gonna dig in deeper because
Mark Malkoff lived out your Netflix streaming movie watching fantasy and filmed it for us.
For "Netflix Challenge," Mark wanted to see exactly how many movies he could watch for $7.99 per month. Turns out, it's 252.
Before you say, "252? Well that sounds
easy as sh*t," think about this: Mark gained 6 pounds by barely moving all month. When he did move, he still had to watch movies on his iPhone and iPad. He started doing bad Jack Nicholson impressions.
Of course, the good parts of this whole thing are that both Andrew McCarthy and Jason London decided to provide him with live commentary of the movies
St. Elmo's Fire and
Dazed and Confused, respectively.
Make sure you
watch the video to see how Mark took movie suggestions from people on Twitter, Facebook -- even Mashable commenters. Watch it to see Andrew McCarthy cart Mark around in a red wagon. And watch it to see how Mark got through all of these movies (yes, he even devoted an entire day to Razzie winners):

This is his "excited" face.
Meet Matt The Intern.
Look at how excited Matt The Intern is to be one of the very first people holding the brand-new
Wainy Days DVD.
If you were our intern you would be as lucky as he is, too. In FACT, today IS your lucky day because
we need social media and graphics interns.
Here's the deal:
- *We are located in New York City, so you must be, too. Or you must be willing at least to commute into New York City on a regular basis.
- *You can receive college credit! If this is of interest to you we can do this... however...
- *Being a student is not a prerequisite. Just know that.
Here are the skills we're looking for:
- *You should be familiar with our content. Some of it. All of it. Take your pick. But you should know something about us.
- *You should have strong writing skills. Please send us links to your Twitter and Tumblr and blog. But not your Pinterest. We don't care about that...YET.
- *You should have basic Photoshop and HTML skills. Have you ever created an image for a meme? Have you posted said image to your blog without the benefit of a blog editor? Do you sometimes wish you could just hold up an animated gif in real-life situations? Fantastic. You're who we want.
- *Basic Final Cut Pro or other video editing skills are wonderful and we could definitely figure out how to use your skills effectively and creatively, but they are not necessary.
Here's what you'd be doing:
- *Hanging out on Tumblr all day.
- *Creating gifs of our content.
- *Helping us think of hashtags.
- *Photoshopping Mary Lynn Rajskub's head onto Jeremy Lin's body just because we think saying "Mary Lynn-sanity" is funny.
- *Helping to optimize all of our social media outlets aesthetically and strategically.
- *Not all of it is fun. Sometimes there is data entry. Sometimes there is heavy lifting. Sometimes there is a coffee run that needs running.
BUT you would definitely get a
Wainy Days DVD. Well, probably.
Please send all inquiries to Maria [at] MyDamnChannel [dot] com.
Thanks! And may the odds be ever in your favor! (But not in a BAD Hunger Games sort of way!)
(PS: We have several videos starring Elizabeth Banks!)

Did you watch Coolio on The Food Network's
Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off? You wouldn't be alone. The Food Network posted
the highest ratings in its history last month.
We'd like to think that The Food Network's dramatic increase in viewership is directly related to the Ghetto Gourmet. After, all, who can resist
chicken so good it falls off the bone or a
caprese salad so tasty it makes your drawers drop?
Coolio came in second to Lou Diamond Phillips despite breaking out the big guns like
Soul Rolls and a newer, Guy Fieri-approved version of his
Cool-A-Cado, winning a more-than-respectable $10,000 for
Music Saves Lives. To which we say,
Shaka, Coolio.
Shaka forever.
