Jackie Schaffer (née Marcus) is an American screenwriter and television director, producer, and executive producer.
In the television business, I don't think anyone will let you go in and pitch a show unless you use the words 'organizing principle' or 'this is the prism through which we see their lives'.
I remember being in the audition with Mark [Duplass] and I remember not being able to dominate him. He's so smart and centered and grounded. I can't do what I'd normally do to someone in this situation. I can't get the upper hand in the scene. I was really impressed and excited about the possibility to work with him.
I think people who are fanatical about anything are funny.
That takes a lot of confidence to let your actors come up with something that could be theoretically funnier than what you had envisioned originally.
Mark [Duplass] is the same person that I met on day one. He's a very smart, savvy, creative guy. If you ever want a champion on your side, it's Mark.
It's so fun because Jason [Mantzoukas]'s one of the smartest people I've met in comedy. So unbelievably fast comedically - so he's quick with whatever, but it's fun to watch someone be so quick and so stupid simultaneously.
