AUSTIN KOLODNEY
Hi, I’ve written and directed for Funny Or Die, Syfy, Audible, Almost Friday TV, and Comedy Central. Most recently, my short dark comedies ‘Two Chairs, Not One’ and ‘Kiwi’ were selected as a Vimeo Staff Picks. I currently have a true crime feature inspired by the Tony Kiritsis Hostage Crisis titled DEAD MAN’S WIRE in pre-production.
I have a penchant for riding my bike (with a helmet, ofc) and carrying books/scripts in a backpack that bears the license plate from The French Connection.

“Filmmaking is a lot like digging through a mountain of shit, looking for diamonds. You have to comb through the bullshit in search of the magic. But you keep toiling, never give up, and when you clean off the shit...all the audience needs to see is a handful of perfect, shiny diamonds.”
(David O. Russell, circa 2015)
“No, no, no... I only produce diamonds”
(Werner Herzog, circa 2023, in response)
