Drew Antzis has directed over 70 videos for the infamous website Funny or Die. Early in his career, he studied improv in Chicago at both Second City and Improv Olympic under the guidance of Improv Jedi master, the late, great Del Close.

Although rarely spoken about, Drew will admit that at the age of 10, he bought a Barbie’s Dreamboat, spray painted it gunship grey and gave it to his GI Joes. This was to be used in his Super-8 film re-make of the war epic Force 10 from Navarone. The production was never finished due to a lack of funding. (his allowance wouldn’t cover the cost of illegal fireworks to be used for the opening battle scene.)
