Katie Tibaldi is a writer, director and producer born and raised in Michigan. She also has the distinction of being childhood best friends with the host, April Wolfe! Between working on shows such as Broad City, Nurse Jackie and Damages, Katie's already worked on over 300 episodes of television. She’s currently producing the documentary feature Street Fighting Men, which will be distributed by First Run Features later this year. Her work on that made her a 2016 Sundance Institute Doc Fellow. She’s also Co-Producer on truTV's Emmy-Nominated comedy series, At Home With Amy Sedaris. She recently directed the independent half-hour comedy pilot, Ian Owes U, that had its world premiere at the New York Television Festival in July. She is also the writer, director and executive producer of Seeking Sublet, a comedy series with 9 full episodes debuting later this year. The series has been showcased by MovieMaker Magazine, Script Magazine, Tumblr and Funny or Die. The movie that Katie has chosen to discuss this week is the vampire mockumentary, What We Do in the Shadows. Katie and April discuss the improvisational style of the film and how it contrasts with that of Amy Sedaris on her show, At Home With Amy Sedaris. They also dissect the anatomy of comedy; how jokes can age badly, what makes a physical joke work, and grounding comedy in reality. Plus, they discuss vampire movies in general, and how even though something's been made a million time, it can be made unique by simply adding a personal touch. You can watch 'At Home with Amy Sedaris' on truTV in theaters now. If you haven't seen it yet, go watch What We Do in the Shadows. With April Wolfe and Katie Tibaldi.

TruTV associate producer talks development. Katie Tibaldi, creator/director of the unreleased yet already award-winning web series Seeking Sublet as well as an Associate Producer on TruTV's At Home with Amy Sedaris sits down with Forget The Box to answer the age-old indie film question... can you actually pull this off? (The answer is yes. Yes you can.)
I am joined by Katie Tibaldi, Cailley Frank-Lahrer, and Josie Chai of the new web series Seeking Sublet talking about the universal, but all too New York City experience of finding that perfect... or more often, finding that roommate that's just a little different. Katie, Cailley and Lahrer are all involved in the entertainment world and are pursuing this project on their "off" time, working with a wonderful cast and crew to bring their vision to life! You can check everything out at SeekingSublet.com and you can be a part of Seeking Sublet my contributing to their Kickstarter to help them continue to make this project a reality!
