Peter Blomquist & Jeff Wiens

In 2008, Peter Blomquist and Jeff Wiens wrote, directed and starred in the Independent Film Channel’s critically-acclaimed web series, Get Hit.  The New York Times wrote of Get Hit: “The comedy duo of Peter Blomquist and Jeff Wiens bring a surprising level of commitment to their video-geek roles, and it’s endearing somehow to watch this sort of sophomorically funny material done without the winking condescension it usually receives.”  The Hollywood Reporter also wrote of Get Hit: “Think Mr. Show, only creepier, more manic and possibly certifiable…I’m curious to see what Blomquist and Wiens do next; it takes serious chops doing comedy this strange this well.”

In 2007 Peter and Jeff wrote, directed and starred in a web series for IFC and Tourism Australia called Chasing Paradise. The duo was sent to Australia to shoot the 5-episode series after their short film, The Telescope, won IFC’s Shorts Down Under Short Film contest. 

In 2005, they created a television pilot, The Independents, which was an official selection at the 2005 Vail Film Festival.

Peter and Jeff have made several short films over the years as part of The Franco and Billy Show, their live comedy show that has been performed at The Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre (NYC), The Under St. Marks Theatre (NYC) and Theatre 68 (LA).   NY Press said of the show: "The parallels between the Franco and Billy Show and Monty Python are undeniable. They are both sometimes surreal, sometimes historical, and sometimes completely incomprehensible. They toss film clips, music and sketch comedy into a single puke-colored but delicious stew."
