During a moment of extreme heartbreak I went on a camping trip with my friends, and something we'd all like to do was to tell shaggy dog jokes around the campfire before we slept. I found these jokes to be incredibly visceral, and saw each beat leading up to the punchline in my head. Eventually I mustered up the courage to tell one, and luckily the joke landed. However, in the back of my mind a thought crept up; "What if the joke didn't land?". This prompted me to write, produce and direct "How Sick Are Ya?".
