Lael & Peter

Directing Team

We’re Lael Rogers and Peter Edlund, a writing + directing team based in Seattle. 
We specialize in dialogue driven humor, inventive visual comedy and creating a space for improv and discovery with our actors.   
Our projects have racked up five Vimeo Staff Picks, numerous Addys and Tellys, and won Short of the Week’s "Comedy of the Year" Award, a Webby, and an Emmy™.

Comedy Reel

A montage of visual gags and bits directed by Lael & Peter.

A :30 spot we shot in three hours in two languages (there’s a Spanish version as well). We provided comedic punch up on the script and riffed with the actor for several lines that ended up in the cut.

EXAMPLES

Dialogue driven comedy at a variety of budget levels.

A :15 spot with an emphasis on montage/physical comedy. Worked with actors at a variety of experience levels and built a more art directed look.

Excerpt from a very scrappy, low budget narrative shoot (that won a webby!). A scripted scene with numerous improv moments.

Excerpt from a late night series with comedy built around scripted interviews. Peter wrote & Lael directed.
